It's a mis-translation from an 80's video game.

I knew it had something to do with a video game. But what is the proper context of it use?? and why does it seem to have a cult following. The last time a phrase enjoyed so much of a following I had to endure the sight of an elderly woman asking about the location of Beef?

If Marconi had known this was part of the evolution of his invention I think he would have salted the barrel and pulled the trigger.
