There is definatly a reason why this game is famous, at least in the retro gamers circuit. Nope, it's not for it's awesome gameplay or even colorful anime type intro, but rather for the worst translation ever known in video game history. The game itself is actually kinda fun, not the best shoot'em'up I ever played but definatly not the worst either. You have 4 different types of ammo to use throughout the stages each of which can be powered up, sadly none of the power ups really look all that cool when your shootin, but its still fun none the less and a little challenging, but because there isn't much else to this shooter to set it apart from others of it's era gameplay...

Totally awesome you own the game where the "All Your Base" meme came from. If anyone doesn't already know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
