Zero Wing

Zero Wing is a 1989 Japanese shoot 'em up arcade game developed by Toaplan. Like other shoot 'em ups of the time, it featured no real plot, except to distinguish that the player is a lone hero who will save the universe from bad guys. However, it enjoyed a degree of success in the arcade, and was thus ported to the PC Engine and Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) in 1991.

The reason for Zero Wings popularity beyond its release as an arcade game and video game is due to the additions made to the European Mega Drive version. To expand on the game's plot, an introductory cutscene was added to the game. This introductory scene was poorly translated to English for the European release, with one clip reading: "All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time!" The intro does not appear in the arcade version.
