Na tej stronie zgromadzono dane na temat sposobu przechowywania informacji w zapisach stanu gier:
W dwóch ostatnich przypadkach pojedynczy zapis tworzy wiele plików, o identycznych nazwach, niezależnie od gry, natomiast zapis stanu gry UFO w wersji Amiga ECS umieszczony jest jedynie w trzech plikach: saveinfo.dat (40 bajtów), savegame.sav (45 299 bajtów) i tacdata.sav (wielkość zmienna, zależy od wielkości mapy). Dwa ostatnie to w rzeczywistości połączone w jedną całość mniejsze pliki, podane w poniższej tabeli. Offsety tych mniejszych plików ukrytych wewnątrz większych, podano dla pliku tacdata.sav o wielkości 91 614 bajtów.

Następna tabela podaje kolejność pól w obrębie rekordu (pierwsze pole ma numer zero) w plikach zawierających dane gry strategicznej w UFO-1. Obcy oznaczeni gwiazdką (*) normalnie w grze nie występują. Także poprzedzone gwiazdką dane dotyczące czołgów w plikach project.dat i research.dat nie są wykorzystywane.
W pliku base.dat w bajtach odpowiadających polom 0–47 (umownie liczymy, że każde pole to dwa bajty) zapisane są informacje dotyczące nazwy bazy (0–7), jej zdolności wykrywania UFO (8–10), elementów istniejących (11–28) i budowanych (29–46), wreszcie ilości inżynierów i naukowców (47). Pola 91–96, 110–112, 124–127 oraz 144–145 nie są wykorzystane (w wersji AGA brak pola 145).
W pliku craft.dat pola 0–43 przechowują informację na temat jednostki latającej, jej wyposażenia w broń i amunicję pokładową, stopnia uszkodzenia itd. Pola 77–79 i 96–103 nie są wykorzystane (w wersjach amigowych brak pól 100–103), w polach 80–82 wpisana jest informacja o przewożonych ciałach (80 – bez pancerza, 81 – w Personal Armour, 82 – w Power lub Flying Suit).
