It's first time i hear people actually obfuscate or/and encrypted wallet inside video game. Assuming it's not fake/hoax, i suspect it uses non-standard obsfucation, encryption or private key representation.

...Totally agree but this was May 2010 when lots of experimentation was taking place ...

I know there are few standard for wallet on early days of Bitcoin, but IMO hiding it on video game is still unusual.

But I think the bigger question here is what kind of wallet it is? All wallet softwares put a special sequence of bytes at the beginning of the wallet file that uniquely identifies its type (the so-called Magic Bytes).

Install a hex editor such as HxD (and make a copy of the extracted wallet file because HxD allows you to unintentionally edit and save the file just by typing keys on the keyboard!) and open the wallet file with it, look at the first 10 or so bytes and see if they match any of the defined magic bytes.

Shouldn't OP look for magic bytes used by bitcoin (such as 62 31 05 00 09 00 00 00) ?

...Appreciate that, will certainly take a deeper dive for the magic bytes, but feel we are looking for hidden private keys..
