 My TI-99 had the reboot key right next to the plus key.  Early lessons in saving often... 
 To be honest, I remember little of mine. Pretty sure I had two games at most, so the only way to play something new was to type the code in myself from a book of my parents bought me. Finally we upgraded to the C64, which at least had a pretty good trade in pirated games.
