I hear people say it all the time, but I never quite knew the origin. I know it came from an old video game but im not quite sure.
What is the origin of the phrase "All your base are belong to us"?
Why is it in the wrong tense?

I'm not really sure of the exact origin, but here is a movie that has to do with it.

It comes from the game Zero Wing on the old SEGA
It's Engrish at its best.

I heard it was a crappy translation from some other language.

All your base is a line that Cats says in one of the worst games ever Zero Wing! I have played it before, and it sucks. It's just a clone of all the other games like it.

Best link I can provide someone. Check it out, and it gives an accurate history. It also has a Flash movie of it, which is the second newgrounds link posted.

google returns a good flash when searching for "all your base"
And ofcourse there is the StarCraft map:

Lol, funny as hell.
Anyways, I never got into, or EVER realy noticed the AYB craze until i saw a flash on newgrounds like a year ago. God I must live under a rock...

Nice, I never new someone would make a card game. All your base is one of the worst translations, but there are translations that suck even more, ones that make no since in the english language, like my writing. There is one from redident evil thats like "move door from away kick" or somthing.

How are you, gentlemen?
All your base are belong to us.
Aaah, I've known about this fad for ages, but hadn't realised exactly where it originated from. It explains a lot, actually :)

Haaaa.....Whew. Sorry Schwit, but as soon as I saw "Last post by: Schwitzer" The first thing that came to my mind was "OMG! He closed the thread! That jerk! Someone must have spammed it!"
Sorry,

Sorry,
You're not the only one... ok, back on-topic. As BOB-9000 stated earlier, Zero Wing was... laughable, at best. And the Japanese-to-English translation was friggen atrocious, too.

hmm, i can't see movie. my comp is at home, but we all have own users but restricted freedom. basically, no dowloads, so i have no flash, nothing. plus, no music. sigh, all i know is it was bad translation from something like jap->english->russian->french->english or something rather

Sorry,
I truley resent that. I have made over 3,000 posts, and of those less than 50 have been thread closures.
Gee, thanks for using a less-than 2% ratio to brand me with your accusations.
Now don't drag this thread off-topic.
Also... All Your Post Are Belong To Me.
