All Your Bases are belong to Zero Wing

I know the fade is out, but I think I remember seeing it on a flying saucer animated GIF. It’s ironic that Fox News had a story on it 3 years ago.

"How are you gentlemen. All your base are belong to us !! You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time."



I found out this joke is already 5 yrs ago and has been solved 3 ago old as in it's stupid and everyone whom thought it came from aliens got confused & used by a popular inside joke gimmick! Sorry. It appeared in a whole bunch of magazines.


Title Screen of Genesis

The reason why Japanese games have had good English translation now is to avoid “All Your Base Are Belong to Us.” Most Japanese who weren’t fluid in the English language probably spoke this way. Mostly at the end of World War II, English became an influence and they learn by what music they download or text they can translate via Babel Fish otherwise it might sound like that one popular phrase from the intro of Zero Wing for Sega Genesis. That intro was recorded in the GENS emulator into AVI than down ported to animated GIF using Animation Shop 3.0 or something like that.
