10 Serious Gaming Moments That Were Unintentionally Hilarious
2. All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Zero Wing
Zero Wing will forever be a case study of video game translation gone wrong. The Mega Drive version of the shoot em up features an added cut scene which tries to flesh out the games story a little more; in Japanese, it all makes perfect sense. In English, its a whole different story. The Japanese version sees a man/alien/cyborg named CATS take over a series of military bases, causing the Captain of one base turn to the player character (named ZIG) to save the day. In English however, everyone seems to have lost a few brain cells as it makes next to no sense. It does however feature hilariously great lines like: Someone set up us the bomb and You have no chance to survive make your time. The icing on the cake though is CATS declaration that All your base are belong to us; youd give up all hope immediately if you were in the room at that moment. Its amazingly sinister and stupendously dumb all at once and thats why its so darn funny. Thank you poor English translation!
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
