Who's in first ? Your arcade alias.

[somePUNK]

RAH-intals

[nesman85]

I always use my initials: MTM, but i used to always see different people typing in ACE as theirs.

[sigma]

I'm (kinda) surprised no one used SUK

[mistah kurtz]

WIZ

[Mr.FoodMonster]

RMW, my initals. Boring, but a lot of the machines at Pete's have them plastered all over

[Sega Ages]

I always tried to be stylish.

 

In the 80s I used "RAD"

 

In the 90s I used "ICE"

 

Both expressions of cool that seemed to suit the times.

 

Now I use "VAC" based on another forum alias.

[chadtower]

CWT

[Christophero Sly]

CAM

 

...except on 'Punch Out'. For some reason I used ROC on that game.

[bradjewell]

Sometimes I use RBJ - initials...

but i do occasionally still do ASS and POO, SUK, FUK, among others..

still do em at bowling alleys...

my old girlfriends initials were TNY, but somehow theyd always turn into TNA on the scoreboard.. hmmm....

 

 

Brad

[Saikyo]

I usually use OAT cuz it sounds funny!

 

Go on then have a good laugh why dont ya!

[128bytes]

I used XTC after my favorite band

[Albert]

I've always just used my initials, AJY. I entered them on many machines at the Houston Arcade Expo a few weeks ago. : )

 

..Al

[Lemmi]

SRL

or

ZEK (zeek)

[BeerGnome]

The Mother unit enjoyed the Family Circus cartoon... I ended up with the name P.J., used all my life.

the last name is "Seay" pronounced with a silant "y"

 

hence

 

PJC

[vespertillio]

Has been and always shall be OUI. Don't ask me why.

[kisrael]

I have to admit I shunned my own initials (KLI) for the kid-kool "Z".

 

Later, I realized my first name Kirk goes to KRK pretty easily, and usually use that.

[bruser_inc]

I always put DBG---my initials. Or the classic AAA. Or POO.

 

The arcade her turned off the games each night so they lost the scores, each morning the manager would put in one one of them (it was a shooting game):

 

IOU

_A_

B_J

_O_

YES

_I_

D_O

LUV

KEL

XOX

 

And Kelly was a dude.

[+Random Terrain]

Mine is Cye (pronounced Kai)

 

What's yours ?

Mine is DAH (pronounced Sporf)

[Scooterb23]

I use SRB...initials.

 

One of my favorite games ever is U.S. Classic, a really good golf game from the early 90s (kind of like Golden Tee) on that game, if you entered the initials AAA...it gave you the in game name of GOD !!

[caveman]

I had a few:

 

CAZ- the first syllable of my last name.

 

WHO- after I started listening to the Who.

 

SAB- after discovering Black Sabbath.

 

ZIP, ZED- when I got a bad score that still cracked the high score table.

 

ARP- after my favorite synth, the ARP 2600.

[dgo]

dgo has always been my alias

 

In flying you have DFO which means Distinguished Flight Officer

 

So when I was a kid I replaced 'Flight' for 'Game' and voila ! It used to be in capitals DGO but I found that a little pretentious and not very friendly looking, so it evolved into dgo not longer associated with the abbreviation.

 

it also happens to be an acronym for.. yes

[Heavy Sixer]

Nothing fancy, I've always just used my initials TES. I let my scores do the talking.

[Student Driver]

I've used a few arcade aliases:

 

RCM (initials)

SON, on games that I played with my mom when I was a kid. She'd enter MOM, of course.

MAX, after Max Sterling from "Robotech." Geeky, I know, but he *was* the arcade-game ace in the series.

 

I always hated that early-80s Midway titles allowed for only two initials. I became addicted to Kick at a local haunt recently, and half-heartedly entered "MX" or "RM" when I'd place, but it didn't feel right.

[keilbaca]

CLK is what i usually use but every once in a while i put in my work initials one of my "friends" gave me and it kind of stuck... DDR

[Rocko]

In addition to my initials, I use:

 

 

PaR (On golden Tee, my initials spelled backwards)

Hat

And the usual poo, ass fuk (I would do that on a bad score, and if it was a free machine, I would get a score just a little worse and use "you")
