Console: Mega Drive Funniest quote: "All your base are belong to us." Even if you've never heard of Zero Wing, chances are that you've come across its most famous quote. A legend in the translation cock up world, "All your base are belong to us" has been referenced throughout every form of media, often adapted in the same vein as the irritating "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters. Zero Wing also features a number of other fantastically awkward lines, such as "Somebody set up us the bomb", "How are you gentlemen !!" and "For great justice". Nothing will ever come close to the infamy of "All your base" though, a phrase totally ingrained in popular culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fvTxv46ano
