@7EliteCHEESE7 Actually probably none. The game was never released in the US, only in Europe, and it wasn't until 1999 when people discovered the issue.
@DominiqueDespoix ZeroWings was a Japanese game. When they ported it over for the genesis/megadrive, they got a person to translate it the opening to English. He failed, miserably. He didn't actually know how to make a good sentence in English, and literally translated Japanese into English without going over it or adding proper grammar.
Thus a failure of the English language was born and one of the most popular(and one of the first) memes of all time.
Actually, the game was never released in America (at least the Genesis version. I know the arcade version was.) The Genesis version was only released in Japan and Europe.
so....what the f*^k is a 'Zig'??? that space fighter jet that looks like a transmission piece??or did "take off every zig" mean that since they were gonna die....they were just gonna have a big ass orgy??
@kurojin97 Man that is a very tough question! I mean, he does say move zig when all the unknown un-named fighter jets move, but really it could be anything! A joystick? Terrorists? Halo? Bad grammer? Only time will tell...somehow.
Great company that provided the game, "Toaplan". In my country that means "Toiletplan" <- seems that the script for the intro was atleast flushed once and then reused :).
In the year A.D. 2101, war was beginning. "What's happening?" "Someone has planted a bomb in our base!" "Incoming signal, Captain." "What is it?" "Displaying signal on the main screen, sir. "It's you!" "How are you gentlemen today? We have taken control of your base. You will be destroyed shortly." "What are you saying?" "You will all die. Make good use of your remaining time.(laughs)" "Captain!" "'Zigs, move out! You know what to do. In the name of Justice, go!"
When I think of it, All Your Base Are Belong to Us became a Lolcats quip.... but it was first mentioned by (Prince?) Cats..... The megadrive gave birth to the Lolcats phenomenon?
@izdagrimeyone Take a look at your original post, numbskull. You wrote "grammer". And you made the claim that it's a question of grammar when it isn't. It's a matter of spelling error.
I just began writing a story recently, where a ship full of "Cyber-Knights", of which I am a member, is attacked by another ship filled with Robot Demons. After firing at us, the leader of those demons, "L-C-FR", makes a more logical speech like CATS, then boards the knights' ship. The silver-armored Captain sends off an alert saying "We have a Code-Red 'Zulu-Whiskey'!" And later he says, "Good god, where's a good 'Zulu-India-Golf' ship when you need one?" All he gets is a slap from the general.
I played a game in a hospital at the age of 4 in 1990, and I've always had a fleeting image of futuristic artwork and a poor grammar intro stuck in my mind, yet not knowing where it was from.
@takeshiC1 Oh man I love that feeling when you play or see something as a child and then find it again a decade later and just that whole nostalgic blast of "holy crap so that's what that was!"
You have no chance to survive make your time. XD
