I’ve played quite a few arcade games recently and there seems to be a limit on how many characters can be entered on to the leader board this is usually limited to 3 characters, why is this?
In: Technology
In addition to memory constraints, arcade games were generally popular and often had lineups of people waiting to play, so the faster you got players off of the cabinet, the more money the game could make.
Limiting the time it took for players to enter their name on the high score board with a joystick made the game more profitable.
