"I FEEL ASLEEP!!"

"VICTOLY!"

And, of course, who could forget...

"BARF!"

Text mistakes are the spice of life in video games. While bad voice acting (Megwamean! You hav'ta save da wowld!) is beginning to enter a sort of enlightened age, bad translations and general typos have left it with some big shoes to fill.

In this thread we post our most memorable shoes, new and old.

Mine's pretty new. It's from Stargirl and the Thief From the Exploded Moon. This one might've been a joke, but it's more than likely just an awesome typo.

UR MR GAY has to be the most legendary thing I've heard in awhile. Even more awesome than Starcooter.

Well it makes sense.  Check out the look Mario's giving that poor star.  It looks afraid.

There was an accident involving "3d Energy" that caused time to become a loop (like a video player stuck on REPEAT). This is the 10th occurrence of the 14th of January since the accident. "The groundhog day" was based on this idea.
The writing could be clearer, but it's still salvageable.

I'm sure mentioning AYB is some kind of faux pas. Tongue

Nope.  The 14th January is the 10th anniversary of the '3rd energy' accident, when the doctor and his city were transported through time.  This anniversary always makes the doctor feel despair, probably because he has had to spend 10 years living with hungry dinosaurs.

Fortunately he is eaten by hungry dinosaurs before he can get too unhappy.  If time was looping, he would become alive again, but alas, that is not the case.

Just a few of many screenshots from a pokemon (insert color/gem here) romhack.  Apparently the hacker is spanish, yet decided to translate the game himself, probably with the aid of babelfish.
