What game? Some games write the files and store them in the game "system" folder. For example, Unreal Tournament does this. You could also try looking in the "Windows" folder, a lot of log files are kept there.

I have no idea what the name would be, probably something familiar to the game. My guess is the exstention would be .log or .txt .

Good luck

In you Administrative Tools folder in your Start Menu, click on Event Viewer. All the program logs/security logs are stored there.
