Hi Erik!

Ok, I see.

Well there's bytes wasted throughout the source, one by one. Little sins like

WaitOverscan
    lda INTIM
    nop
    bne WaitOverscan

where the nop byte is wasted for example.

Or you do:

 lda #$00
    sta GRP0
    sta GRP1
    sta VDELP0
    sta VDELP1

and a few lines later:

lda #$00
    sta WSYNC
    ...
    sta GRP0
    sta GRP1

The subroutines

GetScoreImage
GetRankImage
GetSuitImage
GetLetterImage
GetMessagePointer

Do all ~ the same thing, that is setting a pointer.
I'm sure this can be generealized

Stuff like that. It sums up. Maybe I find some time 
over the weekend to compile a list of where and how you 
could save bytes.

Greetings,
     Manuel
