ok so ive just downloaded ufo:alien invasion and its a .run programme. How do i run it or have i downloaded wrong format. Im a linux mint 9.0 user xfce.

.run programs are usually embedded sh scripts.
try

Code:

sh yourscript.run

worked a treat, thanks

Seems 'sh' doesn't find the file.
Could you try

Code:

sh ./yourscript.run

Mind the './' in front of your script name.

ok ive run into another problem
/usr/local/bin/ufoai: line 124: ./ufo: cannot execute binary file

Is it during the installation process ?
When you try to run it ?
Is there a /usr/local/bin/ufo file ?
Is it executable ?

it is when i try to run it
there is a ufoai file
and yep it is executable

'ufoai' file but no 'ufo' file which is what it is looking for.
Seems a file is missing.
You can try what is said on this forum
on the last lines. Or maybe renaming /usr/local/bin/ufoai to /usr/local/bin/ufo
