The gst file extension is associated with Need for Speed, a car racing video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for MS-DOS and various video game consoles.
A gst file stores data required by the game. It is a proprietary file used by the game and is not intended to be opened as a standalone document.
The original MS-DOS version of Need for Speed reads its gst files automatically when the game runs. Keep the file in the game's installation directory.
These files contain game data and are not intended to be opened with a general-purpose application. Run the MS-DOS game in its original environment or a compatible emulator.
A gst file contains proprietary game data for Need for Speed and is not intended for conversion to a common document or media format.

The gst file extension is used for scripts in AIM Software's GAIN Platform, a software platform for managing financial data.
A GAIN script text file stores script instructions used by the platform. It is part of the GAIN Platform's scripting environment.
GAIN Platform is available for Microsoft Windows. The format is intended for use with that platform, although its text content can also be inspected outside the platform.
Open a .gst file in the GAIN Platform on Microsoft Windows to use it as a GAIN script.
Because it is a text-based script, the file can also be viewed with a plain-text editor. A text editor may not interpret or run the script correctly.
There is no known conversion for .gst files. The file contains GAIN script text, so it should normally remain in the GAIN script format for use with the GAIN Platform.

A .gst file is a geoset file created for MapInfo, a geographic information system originally developed by MapInfo and later associated with Pitney Bowes Software. MapInfo was first released in 1986 as the Mapping Display and Analysis System.
The file stores a map configuration, including references to the tables and layers used in a map and their display settings. It works with the related MapInfo data files rather than replacing those source tables.
MapInfo Professional, now known as MapInfo Pro, runs on Microsoft Windows. The .gst format is primarily used within that software. Its MIME type is generally identified as application/octet-stream.
Open the .gst file in MapInfo Professional or MapInfo Pro on Microsoft Windows. Use the program's open command or its geoset-related tools, and keep the MapInfo tables and other source files referenced by the geoset available.
These geoset files are intended for MapInfo, and it is likely that they can be accessed only with MapInfo. Other GIS applications may not support MapInfo geosets directly.
A geoset is a MapInfo map configuration, so it normally has no useful standalone conversion to another file format. Open it in MapInfo Pro and export or convert the underlying tables and map output as required.

The GST file extension was used for templates associated with Multi Game Memory Editor. These templates provided saved data that the program could use when editing game memory.
Multi Game Memory Editor was available for Apple macOS and Mac OS X. The GST format is a legacy format associated with this older software.
Open the GST file with Multi Game Memory Editor on Apple macOS or Mac OS X. The program should recognize the file as one of its templates.
Because this is a legacy format, current macOS systems may not run the original software without a compatible older environment.
There is no known standard conversion for GST files. They are program-specific templates rather than documents intended for export to another format.
