About

UFO Interactive Games is an American video game publisher and a subsidiary of Tommo Inc. Established in 1999, the company is best known for publishing niche Japanese titles, arcade ports, and budget games in North America. Their portfolio includes releases from franchises like Raiden, as well as various puzzle and simulation games for consoles and handhelds.
The publisher's early operations focused heavily on bringing diverse genre experiences to fifth and sixth-generation home consoles. Initial software distribution began on the Nintendo 64 with the sports title Super Bowling (1999), which later received a Sega Dreamcast port as Super Bowling (2001). On the Dreamcast platform, the company also handled the localization of the ecosystem simulation Seventh Cross Evolution (2000) and the strategic espionage game Industrial Spy Operation Espionage (2000).
As gaming hardware transitioned, the release catalog diversified into arcade-style action and handheld puzzle games. The company distributed the shoot 'em up Raiden III (2000) and its updated release Raiden III (2005) across multiple platforms. During this period, they also targeted the casual gaming market on portable systems, releasing the tilt-controlled action game Labyrinth (2005) and the grid-based puzzle game Sudoku Mania (2006). These releases established a consistent pattern of licensing established Japanese software for localized distribution.
