Just create a petition to get trap15 to make an "AAA initials hack" of your favourite game.

Part of the fun of being an immature teenager during the Arcade era was trying out all sorts of naughty words to see which ones sneak past. :P

I know someone who has this same problem. His score would come up as CAP on Street fighter because it assumed AAA was "I don't give a shit".

There were several Japanese arcade games released after the sarin gas attacks that forbid entering AUM as your initials. Can't remember which ones.

Good luck entering your initials on Capcom and SNK games!

Lots of games forbid the initials "SEX".

I can only assume it's an insane short hand for "ass hole". Because the "O" looks like a hole.

They should have an option where if you don't care about the score, it inputs an initial randomly. CRS64k did that, using initials from older shmups. It's pretty cool.

I didn't know initial censorship was a thing. Really, guys? That's taking pathetic to a whole new level. (talking to the companies not you guys)
