Yes, that helps a lot, thank you.
You already had a lot of answers, let me offer mine.

Just type in the following BASIC programs to get useful information to
run the program:
1/ Get the run address of the program
BLOAD <pgm>,A768,L3
PRINT PEEK(770)*256+PEEK(769)
-> The result will be the run address of the program for later use.
Keep it carefully!

2/ Make a "buffer available" version of the program
BLOAD <pgm>,A$800,B3
BSAVE <pgm2>,A$800,L30701
-> The original program is loaded at $800 bypassing the first 3 bytes.

3/ Now, to play the game
BLOAD <pgm2>
CALL <address>
<address> is the run address given by program 1.

In those examples, '<' and '>' must not be typed in :-)
