The “Greys,” inter-dimensional humans from the future, aliens are actually angels! UFO’s have been all over the news as of late since the US government have seemingly released a slew of classified files about extraterrestrial life. Is any of it true? They want you to “come to your own conclusion.”
I’ve seen a few UFO’s myself – in video games! Here are the top ten instances of UFO’s in games.
Fester’s Quest
All he wanted to do was catch a few (moon) rays. Now, Fester Addams is the last stand against a hoard of evil aliens. I don’t remember this plot from the tv show!
Space Invaders
The COMMAND ALIEN SHIP is worth a whopping 200 points if you’re able to avoid enemy fire to hit it – quite a bonus from your regular enemies which are only worth 30 points at most!
Sonic CD – Special Stage
In this special stage, Sonic spin dashes his way around a track hunting down a series of UFO ships in order to earn himself a Time Stone. Pretty sure that’s how Thanos did it in the Marvel movies, too, right?
Kirby series
One of his coolest abilities, Kirby has been transforming into a UFO since his second outing in Kirby’s Adventure for the NES. What’s your favorite game featuring UFO Kirby??
Earthbound – Sky Runner
Built by the brilliant Dr. Andonuts, the Sky Runner is piloted by his son Jeff in order to rescue Ness and Paula from a graveyard prison in Threed – essentially using alien tech to aid in a war against aliens!
Ducktales
Scrooge McDuck infiltrates a massive alien ship while searching for a way to activate his robotic companion Gizmo Duck. It turns out that moon cheese is quite valuable!
Mega Man series
Wily’s iconic ride can travel through space, hook up to giant machines, and even teleport! You can tell he’s proud of his work from his wiggly eyebrows.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
Save the cows! Link wards off an otherworldly attack to protect a farm from losing their livestock.
Mario Party 8 – Saucer Swarm
Fend off the invaders and be the one to destroy the most. This Mario Party 8 mini-game calls back to the original Space Invaders where alien ships slowly approach your main character.
Honorable Mentions:
StarTropics
Dr. Mario
Mario Kart World
Unlock new characters through the power of abduction! The latest Mario Kart lets you explore a fully traversable map with interconnected tracks. Beam-a me up!

Totally! Pretty sure there’s a UFO site in one of the games. I have never seen the show. Whats your pitch for me to watch it?

that’s a good question! Yikes – have you ever watched Blast From the Past (1999)? If you did, it’s that but with violence, mystery and western? lol oh and there may be a Stormtropper type character gone from bad to good because he realizes that the mission was flawed and unnecessary as they, meaning the groups in this show, all have the same common enemy they were just pitted against each other from coming together and taking down the real enemy.
