* ''[[Touhou]]'' has Suika and her ability to manipulate density. As this includes the creation of Black Holes, this trope is naturally present in the games she appears in.
** Also Utsuho and her last spell card in [[TH 11]]. Koishi of the same game has a similar spellcard, but it pushes you away instead—to a wall of danmaku with KILL written all over it.
* ''[[Recca]]'' has [https://web.archive.org/web/20131125195204/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/recca/recca-15.png this boss] who fires out two kinds of gravity wells, blue ones which suck your ship towards them and white ones that repel your ship. Note that this is an NES game...
* In [[Halo]], Pelican dropships are shown dropping like a stone the second they are released from the ship suspending them above the surface of the planet below. Possibly justified if the parent ship deliberately flies low enough before releasing its cargo, but that's certainly not how it looks in the game. Notable because, like a lot of ''Halo'', it is cribbed from [[Alien]]s.
** Justified in that the dropships aren't just released, there is a minor propulsive force to put distance between the Pelican and the ship. Even then, they don't fall - they drift along until they engage their own propulsion. A more extreme mechanism is used for the ODST drop pods - they aren't dropped, they're literally shot out of the ship.
