Summary 04246: 25pacman, 20pacgal, 20pacgalr0 thru r4 clones: cheat system problem trying to start mspacman at higher levels
Description When trying to start at a higher level (an orange or higher), the maze is that of board 1, with some flashing dots in the corners.

If you lose a life before eating all the dots, the game with refresh to the correct board and colors, but the dots are a mess.

If you happen to eat all the dots before losing a life – your stuck on that now empty board.
Steps To Reproduce Use the attached chat files or download from Pugsy's site.
Start the 25pacman or 20pacgal game.
TAB to the 'cheat' menu, and choose a starting level that of a Pretzel.
Insert coins and start the game.

You should see the fruit at the bottom of the screen looking correct,
...but the maze itself will be that of the cherry level, not the pretzel.

Lose a life and watch the maze change to the correct maze, and the dots go random.
-or-
dont loose a life and eat all the dot. you'll now be stuck on an empty maze with no way to end the board, since the DOT count is off.
Additional Information A similar and much more minor bug (but related to above) is with the main mspacman and its clones games: such as mspacman, mspacmat, mspacmab, etc.

When trying to start at a higher level (an orange or higher), the dots and fruit are correct, but the color is wrong, it is that of the first board.

If you lose a life, then it refreshes to what it is suppose to look like.
