Swear words not allowed in high scores on arcade machines

<< < (3/5) > >>

grantspain:
i can't remember the game but there was one when you entered a swear word it would then come up "bad boy"

Malenko:
off topic, my buddy josh and his father always entered their initials as SON and DAD; I always put mine is as TOM (even though I've always spelled my name Thom)

Haze:
There are many games which do this, some of them even censor non-swear words.  I seem to remember several Capcom titles censoring 'SNK' etc.

It's always amusing when you open up a rom in a hex editor, when you're initially studying it, looking for hardware / manufacturer clues and find a bunch of censored words in plaintext.



This being US games collection, but in many cases you can find similar lists of censored words ;-)

Nor Galaxian, Frogger, Scramble (and probably Super Cobra), and Gorf.

Malenko:
