What's the origin of this line? - "All your base are belong to us!"

It's a quote from a video game (a Sega MegaDrive/Genesis game called "Zero Wing", I believe) that was horribly translated from Japanese subtitles to English (or Engrish,
http://www.engrish.com , as you like
).

For the lazy, the original English subtitles are as follows:
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Someone set up us the bomb
Operator: We get signal
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
Cats: All your base are belong to us
Cats: You are on the way to destruction
Captain: What you say?
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time
Cats: Ha ha ha ....
Operator: Captain!!
Captain: Take off every 'ZIG'!!
Captain: Move 'ZIG'.
Captain: For great justice.
