All your base are belong to us
I questioned myself over and over again, why is this sentence so famous, why does everybody know about it?
Is it cauz of the error in the game, in the text? cauz of a little mistake like that?
Someone please explain cauz i'm really curious :) and I really want to know.

Not only the line in the game but becuase of the rediculous flash movie that went with it.... That video was insane, it had a whole bunch of photo-shoped pics. Besides that it was funny.

By the way the game was really stupid too.... (I have it).

It definitely is popular, some people use it in their forums... i.e. All your posts are belong to us. That's from the Couch. Though, I never knew were it came from. :P

The game is Zero Wing. When translated from Japanese to english it had one of the worst ever translations.
"A declaration of victory or superiority. The phrase stems from a 1991 adaptation of Toaplan's “Zero Wing” shoot-'em-up arcade game for the Sega Genesis game console. A brief introduction was added to the opening screen, and it has what many consider to be the worst Japanese-to-English translation in video game history. The introduction shows the bridge of a starship in chaos as a Borg-like figure named CATS materializes and says, “How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us.” "

I'll clear a little more up on the "All your Base" craze. Yes the game had poor translation... and it was fun. I still laugh to this day when I see that video. All I can justify is that I used to say "All your base are belong to us" When we would have team matches on Star Craft. It sounds way better than saying "I own you" And such. Eventually the people in the clan started saying it. I heard it said in other channels. I guess a bunch of "All your base" Geeks like me got it started on Star Craft. If you look on Blizzard's site under War Craft 3 they will tell you the history of the all your base are belong to us cheat. And it will say that it was a craze started on Star Craft. Those were good times...
