I'm not sure what aesthetic rules you're following, but if you can't 'quit' the game and need to reboot to exit, whether or not ProDOS is resident after load seems irrelevant.

With that in mind, you would be able read the ProDOS directory blocks of the game files, stash the block list, and issue Smartport calls, freeing up ~12k of the language card (assuming you kept the Disk ][ driver resident to allow for 5.25" compatibility)

But I suppose that's cheating ? :-)
