Every time I'm talking with Japanese colleagues about Sega Genesis games, I always say they were on the Sega Megadrive. It still strikes me as weird because I had a "Genesis" and not a "Megadrive," but I know they're the same thing.  |
ahh naren
again i shall educate you in the fine arts of european video game names and translations.
the European console was also called mega drive. a game called
Zero Wing was released on it.
the Japanese -> English translation of this game is where the famous phrase "
All your base are belong to us." (~ = owned.) comes from!
this is a thread of must have games, Zero Wing has become world famous today through internet because of the funny and horrible translation of it, with quotes like "Someone set up us the bomb", "All your base are belong to us" and "You have no chance to survive make your time", they have been used on this board as well.
now, the threadstarter can't get the Zero Wing game (well, unless he gets an adapter
) so i made some quotes from that speech from Zero Wing but made it out to be about him not being able to get Zero Wing. these are all selected parts from that speech:
lol
you have a genesis. (not a mega drive, wich means that..)
all your base are belong to us. (..you are owned, you can't get Zero Wing)
get a mega drive.
you have no chance to survive make your time. (get a megadrive or you are screwed.)
for great justice. (the final quote in the speech by the bad guy).
it was supposed to be funny but no one got it
i guess that makes me the fool
finally, to kung_fu (thread starter):
You know what you doing.
