Atic Atac: Routine at 8D61

Used by the routine at START_GAME.

One LDIR of $1570 bytes from INITIAL_STATE to $EA90. Everything the game keeps at run time -- the player's record, the objects, the monsters, the doors, all of it -- exists as a template inside the loaded block and is copied wholesale into the working area.

So the runtime tables that do not appear in this disassembly, because they live above $D600, do appear in it after all: as five and a half kilobytes of data starting at INITIAL_STATE, waiting to be copied. Starting a new game is a single block move.
