Title: Horribly-Translated Video Games Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 12, 2004, 04:52:29 AM Sometimes, they just can't give us a good translation. The most classic of these can be found in Zero Wing, on Sega Genesis.
"All your base are belong to us..." What other horrible video game translations (or just poorly-written text/dialogue) can you think of? Title: Re: Horribly-Translated Video Games Post by: Arrrhalomynn on June 12, 2004, 05:11:11 AM Alien Soldier comes to mind.

Captain America: YOU CANNOT ESCAPE! Bad Guy: YOU WILL BE THE ONE ESCAPING! Accompanied with ridiculous Gauntlet-esque Elmer Fudd talk ('WELCOME TO THE TWEASURE WOOM!!').  Another similarly funny occurrance was when Guile proclaimed 'GO HOME AND BE A FAMILY MAN!' on beating Chun Li. However, sheer bad translation awards go to Star Luster (my sig, should be Cadet Wing), and these are good too: http://nermal.santarosa.edu/~rguinn/pics/batrang2.jpg http://nermal.santarosa.edu/~rguinn/pics/aerof2.jpg http://nermal.santarosa.edu/~rguinn/pics/monsterparty.jpg and http://zanyvg.overclocked.org/finalfantasy2/ff4spoony.gif of course (copy & paste). Gunbound, the online Worms-type clone, has some very odd moments indeed.  Here's an item of 'hair' you can buy... it's all so obvious by the description! http://sureshot.sulphuricacid.co.uk/woodhair.jpg http://www.engrish.com/category_index.php?category=Video%20Games: some new ones on there too (some already posted too).

Guard falls asleep, then wakes up and says: "I FEEL ASLEEP!!" Snake gets in a truck, message: "UH - OH! THE TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO MOVE!!" Title: Re: Horribly-Translated Video Games Post by: Izret101 on July 06, 2004, 09:14:23 PM http://www.engrish.com/category_index.php?category=Video Games
screenshots of horribly translated games at their best I would guess. Your gonna have to copy & paste since the games is part of the link.
