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?

Well Captain America & The Avengers wasn't badly translated, it was just a bit weird.  For instance:

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:

and http://zanyvg.overclocked...nalfantasy2/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/ca...hp?category=Video%20Games: some new ones on there too (some already posted too).

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.
