This simple little phrase originates from a rabbit named Peppy in Star Fox 64. Releasing in Europe under the title Lylat Wars in late 1997, the game is just on the cusp of being 20 years old, although if you lived in Japan or America (where it was released in the Spring and Summer respectively) you can look at Lylat Star Fox Wars with the depressing knowledge that it is in fact older than most cars on the highway.

It's still a pretty good game despite its relatively short play time and simple gameplay, and Star Fox would receive a remake on the Nintendo 3DS where it somehow feels more at home.
