Because the game is installed under /opt/ hierarchy, the standard dictates:

5.12. /var/opt : Variable data for /opt
Variable data of the packages in /opt must be installed in /var/opt/<subdir>, where <subdir> is the name
of the subtree in /opt where the static data from an add-on software package is stored
Correct way to do that! But even maemo itself doesn't follow the fhs in every place.
But for some reason this hierarchy clearly was left out from the backup process.
As far as I know you have to provide a backup command to the system backup software with your installation. Should be some easy-to-create textfile with folders or files to get backed up.
