Arcade
Platform »
Stand-alone machines specialized for individual games. Arcades began the game industry and peaked in popularity before home consoles took over the gaming public. Arcade games usually cost 25 cents, or 100 yen, per play. Known for the most cutting-edge technology of their time, arcades have the largest video game library, and greatest variety of control methods, of any platform.
Your 3-Letter High Score Name
Shortened version of my name
Mine was ADE, due to my name being Adrian. It had the advantage of being really quick to enter too, which was handy on machines which gave a punishing time limit to put in a name. I swear, on some machines it was more difficult to enter a high score than it was to play the basic game at times. I could also never understand why many games on home consoles kept the time limit on entering a name too. I mean, not like it had to kick a player off quickly so more money could be taken on the machine.
Mine was always JER, which is the first three letters of my name instead of my initials. I have no idea why I decided to go with my first three letters instead of initials, just did.

ASS, because I was always a child when I played arcade games, haven't played one that wants your high-score name in forever. I would probably just use my initials, MLP, now.
