All your base are belong to us.

[Cheez 55]

The Poor translation on Zero Wing (1989):

I have no idea how many of you have read this/seen the flash video of it.

You can google 'all your base' to find the flash video.

Here is the intro:

Captain: What happen ?

Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.

Operator: We get signal.

Captain: What !

Operator: Main screen turn on.

Captain: It's you !!

CATS: How are you gentlemen !!

CATS: All your base are belong to us.

CATS: You are on the way to destruction.

Captain: What you say !!

CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.

CATS: Ha Ha Ha Ha ....

Operator: Captain !! *

Captain: Take off every 'Zig' !!

Captain: You know what you doing.

Captain: Move 'Zig'.

Captain: For great justice.

This is so old school

Somebody set up us the bomb.

Which reminds me of the rhyme ;

Roses are red,

Violets are blue

All of my base

are belong to you

ALL YOUR BASE

Great translation!

[Padraig! 103]

is that a direct translation from japenese?

[Gingerlink 2]

it's what the translators put in the game, so they were probabbly Japanese with a small knowledge of the English language, but obviously not enough

That seems like the most likely cause of 'All your base'.

I thought the original text was Russian, not Japanese. I could be wrong though.

[ZuZu 10]

Seeing that its a video game, the original text is more likely to be Japanese than Russian.. How many video games are made in Russia? compared to Japan anyway..
