GAM stands for Saved Game Format File. These files are written by video GAMes and are saved so that the player can continue from where they left off, after the video GAMe program is opened the next time.
The GAM file format files begin with a header called MAP_GLOBAL_VARS. This is followed by variable declarations used in the GAMe. GAM files allow for comments to be embedded inside using the // format. This format recommends that each line not be of more than 256 characters in length. If a line exceeds this limit, then it overflows into the next line, causing unknown behavior and possibly corruption of the GAMe.
