On old arcade games, when I managed to get a score on a leaderboard, I was always "ABC" I just didn't have the patience for anything else. I was lazier... AAA. Mine was CAN because it pissed off my brother Dan |

I usually did my initials or "Matt" because that is my real first name.
Granted it made sense for those older games like Final Fantasy where there was only so much memory you could use for names. I usually named my warriors of light by their class abbreviation (WAR/KNT, MNK/MST, BLM/BLW, WHM/WHW, THF/NIN, RDM/RDW), named them after friends, or named FF characters that shared their jobs.

I thought this thread was about arcade games that let you type out your name when you achieve a high score. The majority of those games only let you type out 3 characters; games that allowed 4 characters were very rare.

I think some of the later ones were because of how the lettering was done in Japan and how much space it gave them to change it to English |

I think some of the later ones were because of how the lettering was done in Japan and how much space it gave them to change it to English That was the case with FFVI's original SNES release. It's why so many names had to be changed or shortened. Well, that and Nintendo of America's censorship policy regarding anything remotely controversial (changing Holy to "Pearl" and Jihad to "Crusader" among others) and plain ol' mistranslations due to it basically being a one man operation (Meltdown becoming "Merton"). |
