What's your classic arcade name?

[noiseredux]

Traditionally arcade games allowed you three characters so that you can input (presumably) your initials to record your score. Though often times a lot of us used three-letter handles back in the day. For instance, to this very day in every game I play my character's name and savefiles etc are always BRA. Why? Because in the arcades my name (Brad) would not fit. The D would get cut off and it would say BRA (tee-hee). Anyone else have something similar?

Hmm, in Marvel vs Capcom 2 for PS2, I'd always input my initials as "FUK." But the programmers were wise to that, so if you try to input that combination, they'd automatically change it to "CAP."

Which is kind of unfortunate...I mean, what if your initials really are FUK?

When I was like eight years old, I'd always go with POO though.

I always used my initials, RDS. In arcade ports at home where my dad might play too, I would use JR to differentiate.

I had a friend that always used EGG. No reason why.

At our local Buffalo Wild Wings they have a Galaga/Mr. Pac-man cabinet. I had the high score on Galaga for months, but last time I went there, the machine had been reset. I was none to happy.

[noiseredux]

wow, that sucks.

[AmishSamurai]

AAA. Go for the classics.

[Luke]

wow, that sucks.

Yeah, but on the plus side, I have an excuse to play more Galaga when I'm there.

I use HAT. Creative, huh?

[Ack]

I'll give you one attempt to guess what I use.
