A .gob file, as created by extract_gob_stk + the files specified that
.gob file.

GobEngine STK files are general archives, and the compress_gob just
takes a bunch of files and stuffs them into such an archive file.

Just grab any of the (interactive) GobEngine demos. Extract the .stk
and .itk files with extract_gob_stk. The resulting files and the .gob
control file can be used by compress_gob to recreate a STK file.

(.itk are still STK files. Gob games just apparently used .itk to
denote that that file only contained video files.)

extract_gob_stk already does that. compress_gob should create a
foo.stk from an input control file foo.gob.
