I prefer that ancient American megatrends style. I find that mouse based EFI guis are always really laggy and frustrating to use with the mouse, so I end up using the keyboard anyway. Plus, I’m just here to change boot order or some random OC setting, I don’t need animations and nice graphic design. Newer bios menus just feel like a bunch of form over function when form is irrelevant.
They did a whole WIMP BIOS design back in the Socket 7 era. AMI “WinBIOS”. I had it on a PCChips M560TG, whose most notable feature was that it cost $48 for an almost-working motherboard.

I remember a time when we didn’t even have BIOSes
