If it's a standard 3 letter Hi-Score list (why they spell it like that anyways?) I put TK.. If there is no period available it's just TK.

If I can put more than 3 letters, TKGB, my internet moniker. If you go to any website and see TKGB, chances are it's me.

If the score is below 3rd place, BAD.

CIT

Which stems from one my oldest internet handle name "citcelaid", which is "dialectic" spelled backwards.

But who am I to talk; DEL meaning 'of' in Italy and Spain :roll: .

EDIT: Yeah, Pre Menstrual Tension, you're right spadgy. Both still abbreviate the same tho.

PMT
lol, guess I'll input "PRO" or something else instead if I score in an english speaking country ;D

GOV- short for Governor, my nickname for close to 8 years now. Sadly, there are no arcade machines around here. there was a Strikers 1945 cab in the local pizza shop, but now it's gone. :-(

TIM

it stand for me.... Tim, duh!!
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

S.G, my real initials. Often I'll use JQ! when aliasing but that's another story entirely. A little funny since an ungodly high Metal Slug 3 score around here, what I'm assuming is a normal 1CC, uses the initials S.H...so even if I did topple it, it'd just look like a typo. Damnit.

I began to use "NOP" a while back.

It's actually a common instruction in many assembly languages from different architectures. Usually it means: "No instruction" and just increments the "PC" counter by two.

Here is an example for the SH-2 (Sega Saturn):

Code: Select all

_foo_bar_routine:
    MOV #0xff,r0
    RTS
    NOP

I've been using BAD for as long as I can remember, which dates back to the 80's. As some of you remember, at the time (and maybe even now) "BAD" was slang for "cool" or "great" or "awesome" or "skills" or whatever. You know, like, "Awww! That's bad, man, look at that!" or "Awwwww! That dude's bad; he can do a Dragon Punch!" And then Micheal Jackson had that "I'm BAD" music video and everything...so anyway, I was like, "damn...you gotta be BAD to be up in the high scores," so ever since then I've been using it. I don't listen to Michael Jackson anymore (that shit's not heavy enough), but I still use the B to the A-D.

I don't always get first (especially in Japan), but either way if my name's up there then it's all good! If you're in Japan and you see BAD on a machine somewhere, chances are it's me. If you've ever seen it in the states, chances are that was me, too (I move a lot)...ha...

Great thread, by the way!

A friend of mine told me that CPS was a really good Street Figher II player who went to each machine every morning to get the high score.


Anyway, I use RJC which are my initials. I also sometimes use AAA which means my score was so bad I don't want my name on it.

CPS is also the name of the arcade board Street Fighter II was originally on, before Capcom moved to the CPS2.

I've done that, especially when I do some stupid mistake I could easily have avoided.

Ah, its great to bare my inner soul like this...


I just remembered, when I was really, really young I used to use ZOT. Dont know why & Im just as surprised that I remembered this as I am that I forgot it.
