Zero Wing
was a so-so video game released for the Sega Genesis (ported
from a 1989 coin-op), and is remembered for the famously
butchered Japanese-to-English translation of the opening
sequence.
"All
your base are belong to us," resurfaces on the net every
few years as media types try to figure out why some people
think this is so funny. There's really no deep meaning
or purpose to it. It's just funny!
In
addition to Zero Wing, there have been a number of awful
Japanese to English video game translations. Proof
things don't have to make sense to be funny.
