Sorry to open this as an issue, but your reddit comment is archived and there are no discussions on this repo.

I am seeking another game from the old http://ga.me and wonder if the resources and methods you used here could be useful for other games.

What game are you referring to, and is it a Chrome Extension like Polycraft?

The name of the game is Save the Day. It wasn't ever published as an extension, just served from the ga.me website.

Probably not
The only reason why I could get PolyCraft is because it was an Extension

I'll see if I can find a way though
I'll update you here if I do find it
if not I'll probably will just stay silent

I'm tempted to go through your repo here to figure out the paths to everything, then try to get them one file at a time from the archive.org cache of the ga.me website

Yeah, the games are locked behind authentication to a dead API. But I suspect all the game files are still fetchable, if we know the paths.

I dont have a Chromebook to test it tho

Thanks. Seems like these aren't compatible with modern Chrome. I may try to get an older Chromium running.
