Hall of Fame: All Your Base Are Belong To Us
Before anybody called them memes, there was this. Bad_CRC dropped it on Newgrounds in February 2001, stacked a pile of forum Photoshops on top of a thumping gabber track, and let a deadpan robot voice read out the most gloriously broken translation in video game history, lifted straight from the opening of Zero Wing. It traveled by email, by forum, and by dial-up, and it never really came home. SLOAF salutes it: a true masterpiece of the early internet.
Music video by Bad_CRC (Newgrounds, February 16, 2001). Music: “Invasion of the Gabber Robots” by The Laziest Men on Mars. Source game: Zero Wing by Toaplan. Shown as a tribute; the video plays from the Internet Archive and nothing is hosted here.
