I don't think that example you've posted is right (the grab input one, not the game on Github). Firstly, RESUME was to continue execution after an error (eg ON ERROR RESUME NEXT). I think RETURN is what you might have meant? Secondly, you cannot RESUME/RETURN from a GOTO. I think you meant GOSUB; which was a crude approximation of subroutines. BASIC did also have GOTO as well though.

Yes you are right, i meant GOSUB/RETURN. Though instead of "RESUME" (which should have been RETURN) most programs would use GOTO 20 (in an opposite expression of what Dijkstra wrote about, i accidentally used a 'function call' idiom instead of a spaghetti 'jump wherever' one :-P).
