“All your base are belong to us!” – Zero Wing
More of a mistranslation than anything, this hilarious line from Zero Wing, a 16-bit shoot ’em up, would surge in popularity around 1998. After it was revealed that “somebody set up us the bomb”, the main antagonist CATS would gleefully state “How are you gentleman! All your base are belong to us!” It was meant to actually say “All of your bases are now under our control” but alas, what we got was arguably better.
