[PC] Martian Gothic .DAT files
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 7:41 am
Hello.
I happen to be a fan of (what now can be considered) old-school pre-rendered backgrounds.
And this game is a great example of such technique, with some very well designed environments.
So I've been trying to find the right tools to open/extract the contents of the .dat files, where I believe the background images should be... but so far had no luck.
Could someone please take a look at them and maybe will figure it out. I know it's a rather common archive type, especially for a PC title, but being a noob at this stuff, I couldn't access the inside files of it and get the properly viewable pictures.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Here are 3 sample .dat files from [cameras] folder.
