But if in the above scenario [i.e. the program hacked to start off in '...Secret Service'], the first game is terminated whilst James is moving right (e.g. if you push him up the left-hand side of the Alp to collide with the left-hand skier, twice), and then restart the game whilst keeping the Right key depressed, then James will set off straight up the slope at the start of the next game. (Because the Movement Flag will retain its setting from the end of the previous game.)
