10 Biggest Game Translation Cock-Ups Ever

10. Ghostbusters (1984)

Console: NES Funniest quote: "CONGLATURATION !!!" There's probably no better way to be rewarded for completing a game than a black screen with white text screaming "CONGLATURATION!!!" at you. Ghostbusters gets bonus points too, for calling itself a "great game" in the same sentence. And, to top it off, it babbles on by letting us know that the player has "prooved the justice of our culture". Nope. We have no idea either. In fairness, Activision's Ghostbusters for the NES was a pretty great movie tie-in, despite the numerous spelling and grammatical errors. We just wish it would be a bit more modest about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFg6QOlV-EE
