NOTE The following information does EMnotEM apply to the arcade version of this game. The all your base are belong to us intro was only on the Sega GenesisMegadrive version. The original arcade game does not have the intro.BLOCKQUOTEThe intro sequence of this game turned into a meme a propagated idea or invention that infected the Internet community in early 2001. This was due, in part, to the unintentional humor of the sequence since it is a perfect example of Engrish i.e. horribly translated Japanese text. A QuickTime video of the introduction sequence see httpwww.overclocked.orgOCzerowing.htm was created that added voices and sound effects. Its more famous cousin was the Flash video entitled Invasion Of The Gabber Robots By The Laziest Men On Mars httpwww.denandenende.dkayb2.swf .PA few other related places to visitULLIEverything2 node for Zero Wing httpwww.everything2.comindex.plnodeZero20Winglastnode_id883446 LIEverything2 node for All Your Base Are Belong To Us httpwww.everything2.comindex.plnode_id883446lastnode_id0 LIOfficial Homepage httpwww.planetstarsiege.comallyourbase LIAn extensive discussion thread in on the Tribalwar message board.
