Game Extractor is an advanced archive tool developed primarily to open and manipulate game archives. Game archives are typically proprietary formats developed by the gaming companies, and they often change between different games. Game Extractor, with the assistance of plugins, has the ability to read and manipulate many of these game archives that were previously unreadable.
Game Extractor is an advanced archive tool developed primarily to read and write game archives. Archives are large files that store all the images, audio, models, and other files used by games. The archives are typically proprietary formats developed by the gaming companies themselves, and due to this, most programs aren't able to access these files.


Game Extractor was built to allow users to work with archives in the simplest manner possible, while still including many advanced features that are not found in other archive readers. One great advantage of the program is that it will work on all computers regardless of the operating system. This means that Windows, Linux, and Mac O/S users will all be able to use the program and share files between the systems with full support.
This is where Game Extractor comes in - this program can open a huge number of archives from different games, and allow you to read and modify the files within them. The main uses for this are to create game mods, translate games in to other languages, or even just to export files to use as wallpapers or play in a music player.


Another important feature is the use of plugins. Until now, you needed to download a whole new program when a new archive type was developed. With Game Extractor, all you need to do is download a small plugin which works together with the program to allow access to these new archives. The plugin system has been developed to be specifically simple, allowing almost anyone to develop a new plugin without great programming knowledge.
Game Extractor can extract files from hundreds of games, but also has advanced features such as showing image thumbnails, previews of many different audio and image formats, and can convert images to different formats when extracting. Some archives can also be changed, allowing you to import your own files into the game.


Game Extractor works just like any standard archive viewer. You have the ability to open archives of various types, add and remove files, and save your archives for use. You can also extract the files from the archives to your computer for editing and viewing, or you can use the in built previewer for quick access. Previews can be saved in a variety of formats - the conversion done by Game Extractor.
Game Extractor (Basic Version) is totally free, and allows you to open and extract files from all the supported games. You can also purchase the Full Version for only $10, which gives additional features such as the ability to modify and save archives from some games, file previews and thumbnails, and the ability to convert images to different formats when exporting.
 
In addition to the basic functions, Game Extractor provides many convenient functions such as renaming and replacing files, searching for files, and customisation of the interface. Buttons can be added and removed from the toolbar, and both error and message alerts can be suppressed so they never bother you again. Game Extractor also has an in built version checking facility to keep you up-to-date with the latest enhancements, and an autorun program to make it easy for Windows users to run Game Extractor.
 
I hope you enjoy the use of Game Extractor and find it helpful to your needs. I welcome any advice, suggestions, and comments - please visit the website (http://www.watto.org/extract). Thank you.
