Gradius Moai's And Ancient Aliens

There is a documentary from the History Channel called Ancient Aliens. In it they explore the possibility that many ancient religions and possibly some modern religions were started by humans after being visited by alien species.

There is a brief mention of Moai's.. those statues on Easter Island and featured throughout the Gradius games. Perhaps the creators of Gradius were on to something. But even if the example of Moai's were not influenced by alien visitors it got me to thinking of what an alien species might think of a video game.

The Voyager space probe has a gold record with samplings of music from earth along with other pieces of information that defines our species. The hope was that if discovered by an alien race they would learn something about Earthlings. Perhaps a video game would have suited the voyage better... even if they were not common back then.

So this draws the question... what videogame cound an alien species play to learn about Earth and humans?

Sadly a game like Grand Theft Auto or Modern Warfare would be right on the money. Or maybe a game like Gradius would be a better choice. If the Aliens were hostile the Vic Viper or Lord British ships featured in those games might be able to scare them off into thinking we had this superior firepower and technology. Or maybe a game like Pooyan would be worth the chuckle.
