Where does flash player save permanent files to, like game saves, or configurations?

I'd like to grab a copy of a save file I have for a flash game (to be fair, there's at least 20 hours of gaming in that save).

I assume that different browsers and different operating systems do their own thing, but to know how different browser/OS combos do things would be useful extra information.

I use google chrome and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

Linux: ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/
Windows: %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/

Plugin behavior, and therefore Flash LSO location, is browser-independent most of the time.

Also see Local Shared Objects on Wikipedia.

On Ubuntu 12.04, I found Google Chrome's flash plugin also stores LSOs in

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/

More specifically, I found my game saves in

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/#SharedObjects/
