What initials?

corblimey

Harking back to your arcade days (or these days for those sods with cabinets), what 3-letter initials did you use when entering a high score? Did you use your name or initials all the time, or intersperse it with 'ACE', 'SEX' and 'NOB' like all good school boys/girls?

I used SPA, as it's the first 3 letters of my surname but also a sorta rude word.

(Let's try and keep it clean?)

AAA - as I wanted to skip the name entering part and continue on playing !

I was over in the London Trocodero a couple of months ago and they had a few fairly knackared candy cabs. One of them had Raiden.

'Excellent! Time for a new highscore methinks!'

Made a balls of entering my name. They really don't give enough time to do that in games.

Actually my initials are OMG. Which annoyingly enough, means something totally different to the majority of the world.

Well, for me it has to be,
CDR, if it's only three letters...
CDRMN, if it's only, well, five letters...
It gets more awkward when games have 6 and 7, because then you have to decide which vowel means more to you,
do you go with...
Cidrmn
Cdermn
Cdrman,

and so on...

In fact, the timer may run out before you make up your mind and all I'm left with is..

Bugger!

My name is Aaron Arnold Anderson so AAA for me :P

Actually I was a bit immature and used SEX and later SJF, my real initials, when I began 1 crediting MERCs, Ghouls n' Ghosts and Carrier Airwing.

Ah, I used to always use the initials of my name B.D as it was quick for most games. Got bored of that so I just ended up using !!! if the games let me.

Don't really know why I chose that :pac: But I always use DUG or DUGGY!! (I like my exclamation marks :P )

Best ever was an old speccy game called Forbidden Planet, and when you entered rude words as your name it gave smart ass replies.

Usually BUD, AAA or ACE. No idea why. Had to giggle at SEX though.
