So someone on IRC mentioned the ending(s) to Zero Wing and I found out there's a cheat code to skip to it. I thought it might have some more "All your base" style dialogue I could put in the generator, but I really wasn't prepared for what ending #1 looked like
This one is... more serious? a little?
usually something silly, or possibly the debug menu cheat code
The only problem is that you learn the cheat code from ending #35
it wasn't until later that someone figured out how to use it
C↑B↓A←→BCC→←→A↓ and hit Start
admittedly just translating the intro apparently almost killed the translators... 32 more endings worth of text would have been a disaster.
so the way it's been explained is that there's endings 1-3 which are the "normal" endings, then endings 4-35 which are the joke endings, which are only in the japanese version, right?
It gates you based on the firmware language! only Japanese Megadrives get the endings 4-35.
if you load up the japanese ROM with firmware set to US or Europe, you still get a Japanese intro.
Maybe everyone was wrong and those endings #4 to #35 ARE in the european version, but people thought they weren't because of the firmware gate?
Even with the firmware set to Japan, the European version limits you to endings 1-3.
a lot of the popularity of the whole "All Your Base" meme comes from a song, and later a flash animation.
That song is called INVASION OF THE GABBER ROBOTS

That's right, the 1964 classic SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS!

A fun fact on the wikipedia page for the metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor:
it is the most frequently manufactured device in history, and the total number manufactured from 1960-2018 is 13 sextillion.
That's 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Though this picture is a bit misleading.
Even with devices this small, we couldn't make 13 sextillion of them in 60 years.
So imagine a chip like this. It's the 555 timer, which is one of the most popular integrated circuits ever made.
In 2017, it was estimated a billion are made every year.
And at the heart of it is the die, which looks like this:

And that's fundamentally a bunch of CMOS transistors (along with some diodes and resistors), which are a type of MOSFET. How many of them are on a 555?
about 25. Not many, but it's a very simple chip.
