Mine was TUK.

Short for my last name Tucker, and more interesting than my initials, MJT.

AAA

You may have seen my high scores all over the country on many games. Do you remember seeing my initials on your high score list?

usually AZA although the ever popular FUK YOU was always a nice touch if you could snag the #1 and #2 spots. juvenille? yes, but hey, it was the 80's.

I was known as:

WIZ

(not because I was any good at the games, but because I had a bladder control problem)

Back in the day it was either "KID" or "LRC" nowadays it's "PIX"

Even better than "FUK" and "YOU" was the classic, unstoppable power of "FUQ" (both words combined, no need for 2 spots)

ahhh, yes, but therein lied the challenge. anyone could FUQ, it took some skill and planning to maintain a #1, #2 combo.

I would use RIK for my first name if I scored in the top 3, otherwise I'd use XTC. Don't know why though...

"I used SEX, they used to call me Sexy Randall the Pharoah Wizard"
"No they didn't"
"One guy did."

I actually used KMN, my initials. It worked out especially well on Capcom's games, because after you chose one letter it would stay on that letter, meaning I could quickly enter my name

I remember on some of the Midway/Williams arcade games (e.g. Robotron 2084, Joust, Sinistar, Bubbles) if you got #1, and the arcade operator didn't change the high score settings, you could enter a message up to 40 characters!!

MAX - it's my name, so... easy choice. Sometimes it was MCA - my initials.
