    Isn’t it a lot older than that, it became popular probably 10 years or more ago.

    Sounds about right I kind of recall it being around when I first started playing online games which was about 96/97.

    Actual game it was from would be early 90s?

    Origin
    The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing. The quote is from the introduction sequence of the game in which the player’s enemy, the leader of CATS, appears. The following conversation happens:
    Captain: What happen ?
    Mechanic: Somebody 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 ha …
    Operator: Captain !!
    Captain: Take off every ‘ZIG’!!
    Captain: You know what you doing.
    Captain: Move ‘ZIG’.
    Captain: For great justice.
