main screen turn on 

Broken english sentence said on the infamous Zero Wing game. This was supposed to be a good game; it was exceptional, however, but the English wasn't up to scratch. To get the full meaning out of this, play the Sega Genesis game or head down to Newgrounds.com, then you should have no problem wondering what the heck a lot of people are talking about.
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal!
