So why don't you put your menu in your game?

Consider the following:

# Lamegame.py - probably the lamest game ever!

print "Welcome to Lame Game!"
raw_input("Please type something and press enter: ")
print "You win!"

So there's a game. Now let's add a menu:

# lamegameimproved.py - the lamest game, now with a menu!

import sys

print "Welcome to Lame Game!"
print "\nMenu:\n"
print "(Q)uit"
print "(P)lay"
choice = raw_input("Your Choice? (P or Q): ")

if choice.lower() == 'q':
    sys.exit(0)
elif choice.lower() == 'p':
    # add original code here

See? Quite simple. Even with pygame it shouldn't be a whole lot more complex
than that. And that's really the most simple example I could think of and
it's really not very good. For instance you could put the original code into
a "game" function and then call it if the choice was P.
