After completing a game, if your score was high enough, and it was time to enter your initials, did you ever enter anything off-color like "SEX" or "POO"?

I have numerous times.

Whenever my dad got a score that wasn't the highest, he'd enter DAM or even FUC. I even did that a couple of times myself.

My friend would type DIE every single time. It seems like the op would always type TIM even though it isn't his initials.

Nope, I'm not old enough.

I've played a few arcade machines, but I'm never good enough to get a high score.

...maybe if I ever found a Bank Panic machine in the wild...

Oh yeah, all the time. Unless it was a high score I was proud of and was hard to get, then I'd use my initials. I went to the same game room every day. Everybody knew who my initials meant. If I got the second or third, etc, I'd put in something silly.

What are these strange things you call "arcades?" Are they similar to the primative music devices you call "records?" (sarcasm)

Seriously though, I never stuck around at a machine long enough to get a high score. When I got beat, I would move on.

I entered "ZAP" a couple of times. :P

But my initials are goofy enough. "MRS" :roll:

I think ILK was funny enough. It sounds like a disease.

I mostly enter AAA. If not for the stickers on the cars, that would be the best form of advertising for them.

I always hate when I hit the wrong letter in games that save your scores.

Though I guess it does give one more motivation to beat that score and clear it off the screen.

On one game I had, I tried to enter SEX as my initials, but it was changed to NAO for some reason.

I just usually put my initials, but if it was a really bad score, I might put ":(" instead. On a game I played last year, there was space for 5 letters, and the character I used had 5 letters, so I just used their name.
