the four phrases mentioned all had > 1000 google hits, which considering how weird they are, is a sign that they have definitely been copied from Zero Wing. "somebody set up us the bomb" is actually more popular at 1780 hits than "move 'zig'" at just over 1000. "all your base" alone returns 52,000.

However, the less known phrases are probably more likely to acquire meanings...

http://hubert.retrogames.com/article.php?sid=1 is a good history of all this.

5 4th level power up on the arcade version

[edit] PC Engine cutscenes

Didn't the PC Engine vesion also feature cutscenes which are substantially different (although still have the same setting) than the ones from the MegaDrive? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.127.71.84 (talk) 14:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Translation

Correctly translated, it should have read something like "All your bases are now in our possession. Do what you will, you have no chance of surviving!"

I didn't think it was necessary to include this piece of information since it's rather obvious what the line is trying to say. Kakashi-sensei 05:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

cube60659~~the phrases all your base are belong to us is more of a way of comunication that inables one seen of people to comuincate with the same or simuler people

[edit] Release date

I'm not sure if the European Mega Drive version was released in 1991 - the back of the box says:

So I think it was probably released in 1992, but I don't have any evidence further than Sega claim copyright then (for the packaging?), even if the game itself only has a 1991 copyright date.

[edit] Screenshot

[edit] 4th level power up on the arcade version

I may well be wrong but i have been playing the original roms on the mame emulator, i have held the bomb untill i should get another one. The normall sequence continued no new bomb or 4th level power up. Could this be a difference between the sega version and the arcade?
