Zero Wing

Zero Wing is a Shoot Em Up Video Game created by Toaplan in 1989, where it was mildly (but not wildly) successful in Japanese arcades. Typical of the genre, after an opening cinematic establishes the setting, the player takes control of a one-man fighter to shoot down enemy forces in massive numbers.

Fairly typical and unremarkable compared to the rest of its genre, there is no particular reason people today would give this game a second look ...

...that is, except for its infamous English translation (that has even inspired examples of Intentional Engrish for Funny):

"Narrator: In A.D. 2101 War Was Beginning.

Captain: What Happen?

Mechanic: Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb.

Operator: We get signal.

Captain: What!

Operator: Main screen turn on.

Captain: It's You!!

CATS: How are you gentlemen!!

CATS: All Your Base Are Belong to Us.

CATS: You are on the way to destruction.

Captain: What you say!!

CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.

CATS: Ha ha ha ha....

Operator: Captain!

Captain: Take Off Every 'ZIG'!!

Captain: You know what you doing.

Captain: Move 'ZIG'.

Captain: For Great Justice."

Made Memetic Mutation for great funny was when send happiness to users of Interweb reality highway quotes did. Popular most is the conquerance of CATS dialogue, "We have conquered all of your bases." Main screen not on; no plans of justice to rerelease Zero Wing make time at now.

Inspire epic song, posted here for great justice, a Rhapsody of Boheme song of parody and a Dub project.

And down with them completely! Good luck."
