I managed to repair the file using a hex editor. The version byte of the header had been corrupted to E6 (version 230!), but changing that version to something reasonable produced a readable save. However, I'm not sure if or how I'm allowed to share the repaired save.

I uploaded a copy using the current version of TPT:

 Why do you keep apologizing? No need to apologize. You weren't around for it, neither did I have an account. Until April of 2012... Again @jacob1 could be right, we could be both right, who knows? Only four people likely know. @Sylvi, @Simon, @HK6, and possibly @Savask know the explanation to this save. Unfortunately @jacksonmj is no longer active, but I think they still maintain a website connected to the original saves under Skylark. Again, I think. 

I honestly need sleep, I'm losing to a rug!

 I pressed the download button on the website.

 People often talked about how the website was buggy and down half the time under Skylark, it was abandoned by Skylark in late 2009 if memory serves me right. So by the time Simon gets the code from a third party source, the game had been abandoned for  six months or a little more. I wonder if Simon found the game through YouTube videos. I know Geeks 3D (Last I checked had the original version of the game), way before categories were a thing. 

Edit: Unfortunately that version of the game is no longer available and it looks like Geeks 3D was abandoned, taken down. I'm sorry if anyone wanted to play that version of the game. Unless it's available still on the website, but a moderator would have to verify this. I don't know where else it would be.
