Sounds are stored as regular WAV files.
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 22050 Hz.
These are uncompressed BMP images with parts of the header zeroed out. The headers are hardcoded in the executable.
It is sufficient to fix up the following bytes to make the images readable:
| Offset | Length | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 4 | int32 | Width |
| 16 | 4 | int32 | Height |
| 1A | 2 | int16 | Color planes (1) |

There are two slightly different save game formats, determined by the magic marker at the start.
- If the save game starts with 0x57303453, the size is 45305 bytes.
- If the save game starts with 0x5730344E, the size is 45329 bytes.
