Zero Wing
Zero Wing is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game, best known for a poorly translated English version for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) that spawned the Internet meme "All your base are belong to us". The game offers novel features, such as the ability to "tow" enemy ships and use them as shields for your own ships.
Story
The game is set in the year 2101 and is about the signing of a peace treaty between the United Nations and CATS, an alien cyborg. However, CATS breaks the pact and takes control of the Japanese space colonies. The protagonist, Trent, leads a ZIG spaceship that has managed to escape from the mothership destroyed by CATS, with the goal of defeating the enemy forces, avenging the mothership and its crew, and liberating Earth.
