'''''Zero Wing''''' (ゼロウィング) is an infamous shoot 'em up video game developed by [[Toaplan]]. Initially released in arcades in 1989 by Taito where it enjoyed a reasonable amount of success, it was ported to the TurboGrafx-CD in Japan, and to the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in both Japan and Europe in 1991. Though not officially released in America, the European release of the Mega Drive port is not region locked, and so will run on a North American Genesis console.

==Translation==
 
Though all three versions are essentially the same (apart from various graphical/audio changes between the hardware) the Mega Drive version is notable for giving the game an introductory cutscene. When released in Europe, this cutscene was not translated in coherent english, so when the [[emulator]]s became popular in 1999, the game re-emerged to become an internet phenomenon, specifically for the Engrish line "All your base are belong to us".
