Someone who's never heard of Zero Wing?

A rare find among male internet users... There was a Sega Genisis Game called Zero Wing, and it was so poorly translated that the intro was f'jorking hilarious. It was made into a gif file and distributed across the internet and inserted itself into popular gaming culture. People randomly said variations of "all your base" when they won at something. It's popularity died down though. Things are only funny so long.

But I figured it would be a bit humorous in this situation since it was un-expected.

I have never owned nor played a Sega Genisis. That is why I didn't know this.

I didn't know the whole story until Sessler told me a few weeks back in the Video game thread. He even posted the intro gif for all of us to laugh at.

I tried to find the post, but couldn't. Do you remember what date he posted this on?

Gosh. It was probably before the turn of the year. Been a while...


Come to think of it, it might not have even been in the VG thread.

I didn't know the game was called Zero Wing nor did I know it came a Sega Genesis game. But I have heard "All your base are belong to us." And I've seen the video that was created. Hilarious. And to think that game was distributed with such horrible translation. So much for quality control.

Sometimes it happens even to modern games.

Look for Xplay's review of "Advance Guardian Heroes" for the GBA. It is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

It used to happen very often, specially when japanese games such as this one were porrly translated by the japanese programmers themlseves so it could be sold in the US. People didn't care much back then; but today, as games are as expensive as movies to produce, it dosen't happen anymore.

It still happens with technology. My Sony DVD player, when I click the stop button, says, "Disc will restarts..." I'm sure there are still typos in games, too, but you're reading them so quickly that you don't notice. No moreso than any other game that is produced stateside. Hell, we typo stuff all the time.

Telling someone You're gonna kill them and take their souls... "Thank you!" isn't a typo..

It's just a Japanese coloquialism that doesn't translate into English exactly right.

Okay, typographical, grammatical, and translational errors. Sorry I was too specific.
