Booty: Routine at D08A

When a new game starts, the player lives have already been set to 04 in DisplayIntroductionScreen.

*GameState will be set to 02 after the player has collected the golden key and the game restarts. This is how the game ensures that the lives and booty count are not reset.

Game modes 01 and 02 appear to be mostly identical, however as the booty count is retained in the new game - this means the animals will continue to appear more frequently as the count checks if the number of items of booty is higher than 100. See the check at AnimalsEventTiming.

Used by the routines at TitleScreen and GoldfishGame.
