The greatest..most catchy phrases in a video game?

[Nick]

I'm honestly not sure if this topic has been covered in the past and I'm very sorry if it has but I was sitting here going through DP and one of my favorites came to mind.

I will never forget being at the edges of Nevada with my family and stopping in what was the first Casino we had seen on our way to Vegas for a family get togethor. The place had a NICKEL arcade with maybe 10-15 games. Back then it didn't really matter how many games they had, I would play for hours and hours on one machine. For the first time in my life I ran in to a little game called "Smash TV" and instanly bacame a hardcore fan of it's crazy style but more importantly the addicting voice overs by the game show host. My brother and I must have gone through 20 rolls of nickles each. (I'm sure I went through more than him..I was the baby and maybe 8 years old back then :) )

All I can say is...

"BIG MONEY...BIG PRIZES..I LOVE IT!"


Hahah...definetely was the goodies. One day I'll have that game in my house.

Any good one's you can think of?

[-hellvin-]

Kind of already did this...most of my favorites were from Planescape: Torment (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38174&highlight=quotes)

forgive me if i spell this wrong but HADOUKEN!!!!!!!

[PhoeniX]

The 'Santulli Slant' got it spot on when it commented on my favorite videogame quote, "I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence." (Kefka, Final Fantasy III [IV]) This and many of Kefka's other nugets rank high among videogame moments.


But the real question, is Kefka Kafkaesque???
I have my answer, but is it the only one?

Here's one that you should like, Nick:

"I'll buy you for a dollar!"

Taken from Total Carnage the sequel to Smash TV

[Bronty-2]

two words: FINISH HIM!!!!

[Nick]

I have heard all of those...all damn good.

Smash makes me laugh when I think about it..It was so screwed up. ahaha LOL The guy has all these cliched game show comments with his pair of game show hookers...with a big smile on his face while hundreds of people are dieing like its nothing.

Eggcellent... :D

[whoisKeel]

one of my favorites, but not as famous as hadoken or fininsh him:

LOOK! It's space Michael! (Space channel5)

or just 'hello' from oddworld had a nice ring to it. if you've played quake3 insta there's HO0000LY SH*T! which was good for a laugh, till i heard it for the 456th time.

[Nesmaster]

-itsa me a mario

"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!"

[Graham Mitchell]

You kind of have to have HEARD these for them to be funny, but here goes.

They both come from TG-16 CD Roms; the first is from Y's III, Wanderers, where Chester is about to kick into the lava pit at the (alsaido? can't remember) ruins. Captain Obvious says to you "There is molten lava down there" [long pause] Continues threat... It's just really awkward sounding, sort of aprosodic speech like stroke patients or something...

The second is one that me and my friend quote constantly, from Valis III. The first-level boss says: "Hey, Ask your sword, Yuko!"

And I can't believe nobody mentioned "Let's play money making game" or "It's a secret to everyone".

[Gapporin]

And I can't believe nobody mentioned "Let's play money making game" or "It's a secret to everyone".

I use the phrase "It's a secret to everyone" (among many other phrases) in everyday conversation. Yeah, sad, I know.

[K3V]

Hey, it's okay I do too. "Boy, this is really expensive" is one of my favorites as well.

[Neonsolid]

[Dahne]

Some, like "a winner is you!" is so much a part of common vernacular that I don't even know exactly where it came from.

Sometimes, late at night, "Henshin a-gogo, baby!" rings ominously in my ears.

[Dangerboy]

1. Damn near every phrase or item shouted out in any Metal Slug game. I've been known to wander my store while empty and just pick up random items and yell out "SHOTGUN!' 'FLAME THROWER' "THANK YOU!" etc

2. "Sob, Sob. I am beaten." Kickle Cubicle

3. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer..Revoluuution, tion...tion...tion....

4. "You were good, you fought well. You were perfect! I met, my maaaaaatch." - Krauser, Fatal Fury Special / 2

5. "I never thought the inventor of something so sophisticated would be so....cute." Snake, MGS2

6. "How bout' my Baby Betty blow you a kiss!" "You're a strange one, naming your helicopter." - Last Alert

7. "I've got a chaos theory for you..." - Striker, Burnout 3

8. "I don't care what your name is. Your new name is...Mid-Boss! (watch characters name get dropped and replaced with 'Mid-Boss' text) - Disgaea

so many...

[Sylentwulf]

Someone should get this one :)
"A Horses Weiner?! Now that's REALLY DANGEROUS. Watch out everyone!"

[GunPanther]

From "Serious Sam" for the XBox:

Sam comes across this area where he sees a door that's locked. Apparently, the statue of a 2 headed dragon with the heads on both ends (it has no tail) has something to do with unlocking the door.

Upon looking at the statue, Sam says one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a video game:




"Hmmm. I've always known that two heads are better than one....."

*silence for about 2 seconds*

"But how does it fart?"






That line had me ROFL






:rockets: GunPanther :2gunfire:

[El CiF]

What was that quote from some random Resident Evil... "I give this lock pick set to you, the master of locks." Something like that.

Sotenga beat me to my fave though, "YOU SPOONY BARD!" Tellah kicked ass... until he DIED!!!

[stonic]

"You have sustained a lethal injury. Sorry, but you are finished here."
"KNOCKOUT! Great fighting. You're an up-and-coming boxer."

[atomicthumbs]

Hah! Duke 3D..

"It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.. and I'm all out of gum"

To give credit where credit is ABSOLUTELY due... It's a variation of the line from the movie "They Live". (I LOVE THAT MOVIE)

[Jasoco]

"It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.. and I'm all out of gum"

"Who wants some?"
"Hail to the King, baby."

Yeah.... It's kinda like Sewer Shark! The best quote in that game is taken from a movie ("I love the smell of the sewers in the morning! Smells like VICTORY"!!!)

By the way... Did the original PC Duke Nukem ever come out on a console?

[atomicthumbs]

ooookkkkaaayyy.... How'd that happen?

[Jasoco]

What? Quoting yourself? I dunno.

Anyway, to answer the question, no. The original Duke Nukem's did not come out on a console unfortunately. Duke 1 and 2 sadly. There WAS a GBC Duke, but of course, I don't think it was anything like the old DOS games. Which I played to death back in the day.

Crap, that's too bad.

" To go forward, you must possess Dracula's Rib."

[Black_Tiger]

"Jipang, ichi no date otoko!"

[jdc]

Well, I can see that the Duke is popular.

BUT....there IS another videogame wiseass with a continuous stream of wisecracks. Nall the dragon in the Lunar games.

[Vigilante]

The one phrase that still puts a chill down my spine.....

"RUN COWARD!!! RRRRRRraaaaaRRRR!!! <Crunch>"

I suck at Sinistar.
