Yep. It is from an old SNES game called Zero Wing. The game was very badly translated and everyone thought it was really funny. The quote "All your base are belong to us" then beecame really popular. I think there's even a street named after it. I saw it the paper this week.

The game is not for the SNES, it's for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

I never understood why it suddenly spread around the Internet faster than the Melissa virus, tho... I mean, that games is like 10 years old, and no one even noticed it for all that time (Hell, even people that played it probably didn't pay that much attention at the time, because bad translations were at least as common as good ones). What suddenly happend in the past few months that made it a quote that even people who never played a video game knew???

Actually it has been around the net for awhile ... it was on this board (forgot the name) and people were making the different images (the ones where it says "All your base are belong to us" ... most are seen in that flash movie for it) and it was just a small thing for this group of people ... it just eventually spread out and became mainstream. Search around and you can find some history on it.

That's what I meant to say, I just didn't realize it at the time. I'm not all there sometimes...
