Dj was the closest without overbidding...
However you compressed it, it stripped away the file types/creator types of all the files, these are what your computer uses to match apps with they're generated/compatible files. In most situations the most important is the file type code, thaz why a multitude of applications can view JPEG graphics, no matter what app was used to create it.
Yes "Joy! peff^" joy peff to the world, i have often wondered about this convention, and what the inside joke was between the RB coders when they started, its a signature file start. Those of you equipped with BBEdit, will notice that everything with the exception of; in game dialog, menu items, and other miscellaenous text is encrypted. Go ahead drop your data files/app onto BBEdit. I just thought i'd give everyone this little bit of information, just to let you know that technically there is no way to protect your plot twists...just in case you build an epic and someone leaks the plot within an hour of its release.

A strange but true thing that might have occurred. In the Game Options interface under miscellaneous you might have entered a reserved Creator Code...
examples:
Ogle---QuickTime
ttxt---Simple Text
8Bim---PhotoShop
GKON--Graphic Converter
APPL--all consuming application marker
or even still you might have used a file type for a creator code
possibly
' ???? ' ---the all purpose i dunno, that brings up the 'open with alternate app' dialog
'sfil'- apple sound file
and handful of examples out of the thousands, past present and future.
either way outside of your compression software screwing with things this is one of the other scenarios that might've possibly eluded you indefinitely..
