All your base are belong to us

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Jump to: navigation, search

The infamous phrase is a piece of subtitled dialogue from the introduction to Zero Wing."All your base are belong to us." (sometimes referred to as "All Your Base" or abbreviated AYBABTU or simply AYB) is a phrase that sparked an Internet phenomenon in 2001 and 2002. The text is taken from the poorly-translated opening found in the English version of the Japanese video game Zero Wing, originally produced by Toaplan in 1989. Groups of game enthusiasts began to digitally alter various images to include the phrase. Eventually, these images were collected together onto one site and a Flash animation produced from them, which was widely downloaded. The original Quicktime movie can be found here. The most popular version of the video, set to music by The Laziest Men on Mars, can be found here.

The infamous quotations were taken from the European localization of the Sega Mega Drive port released in 1992. The arcade version of Zero Wing does not include the quote, nor any other dialogue; the intro for the PC Engine version has CD quality spoken dialogue, but has a completely different introduction. Zero Wing was never released in North America, and therefore never came to the Sega Genesis, the North American Mega Drive.

"All Your Base" is interesting because it demonstrated the Internet's power to quickly spread idiosyncratic messages that would never have been covered by the traditional mass media. Although the fad has died down, the phrase continues to be one of the most commonly quoted examples of "Engrish". The phrase is also often used as a battle cry on many competitive video games, particularly ones played over the Internet.

I wonder if it's actually seen by eyes anywhere...

It is -- at least I'm sure they have a live audience. After I hit the time and weather thing a few too many times, some dude in a black toque and holding a coffee cup was standing in front of the sign and flipping the bird at the cam. I was so impressed. I wonder what was in t he coffee mug.
