Anyone have/seen a videogame License Plate?

[hezeuschrist]

I was driving around yesterday and saw the coolest personalized plate ever: SHINOBI. Plain and simple, no abbreviation, and usually I detest all personalized plates. It's an unnatural hatred, but I've worked through it.

So anyone have or have seen a videogame plate?

[Nesmaster]

i just recently saw NINTNDO

[Sniderman]

I'm fairly certain this topic has been covered waaaaay in the past, but damn if I can find a link.

My license plates read "AT 2600" with a frame that reads "I'd rather be playing Atari." And, as I recall, John Hardie himself has "ATARI" as his plates.

As for personally seeing some plates, it only happened once here in Ohio. Several years ago, I saw "FROGGR".

[Kejoriv]

Honestly I have never seen a video game plate

[AlanD]

The wife and I have ATARI-8 on her car and COINOP on my truck.

[Sylentwulf]

Sihnobi isn't exactly a videogame liscence plate, but anyways. In real life, I know I saw one once, but for the life of me I can't remeber what it was now... It was only a few months ago too.... I'm getting old...

[16-bit]

Shawn @ neo-geo.com has (or at least had) a one that said

NEO GEO

[Flack]

k8track has "Commodore 64" abbreviated on his plate. Or was it Commander 64? ;)

[Chunky]

Dispite Joes tag line, The former work van that went home with the old partner for almost 20 years(or ever since i remember) that van had the plates of GAME ON.

[Sanriostar]

Someone in my hometown has MSPACMN for his CA plate. He's the owner of the local bowling alley, but he made his $ in arcade games.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Could be someone who is just into ninja and such. In fact, most license plate possibilities could be coincidences, so to know if it's intended to be about video games we'd have to get confirmation from the owner.

Anyway, I see tons of ridiculously stupid personalized plates in NYC, but I've yet to see a video game reference. The closest I've ever seen are random assortments of two or three letters that happen to form an acronym for a game.

[SKVermin]

A fan of the GCN game Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem went out and got himself a set of PARGON plates. Pargon is the "Power" rune from the game. Wonder what he's got under the hood...

Ha! I used to have (at the time Flack saw it) CMMDR 64 as my plate. I remember when I first got it and saw it that I realized that "crap, people are gonna think commander 64." Bugged me for a few years. In January, I totaled my car (lots o fun there) and used the opportunity to get a whole new license plate, the one I really wanted all along--CMDOR 64. I'm happy now!

[SoulBlazer]

Not exactly game related, but a few years ago I saw a Virgina car with NCC-1701 as the licence plate. :)

[shai hulud]

i have NEOGEO 1 as my plates, and i have actually seen NEOGEO 2

[Ed Oscuro]

Hmm...how much do they cost in everybody's neck of the woods? I think vanity plates are $70 here (more than I can currently even consider spending)...I know what I'd like to get!

[chaoticjelly]

I havnt seen a videogame plate here in the UK

I saw a computer-related plate once..

"P3 CPU"

LOL (and this was at the time the P3 was a new chip)

[Gapporin]

I've never seen anybody with a video game reference before, but if I did, I'd probably put something like KUPO or MOOGLE on it. Actually, I'd probably be tempted to do something a bit more obscure.

"You're so vain...you probably think this plate is about you..."

[Aussie2B]

Well, I think everyone knows what I would get - TRI-ACE. :P

[sliop24]

I dont know if this counts but I saw NYPLUMR

[Dahne]

On the old Everquest boards I used to go to, somebody got a picture of a SOW PLZ.

Back when I played Dark Age of Camelot, I freaked out when I saw a plate that said ALBION, until somebody pointed out that it's a town in Northern California. LOL

[itatton]

My friend has a "KLONOA" plate.

[Crush Crawfish]

I've never seen one before, but I'd love to have a "Megaman" or "Capcom" plate. Forgive my extreme ignorance, but how many letters can fit on a plate?

[Gapporin]

Forgive my extreme ignorance, but how many letters can fit on a plate?

Seven letters, I believe, is the maximum for most states.

[Pantechnicon]

Just a couple of months ago I saw a guy here in Albuquerque with a New Mexico plate what read "ATARIAN". Excitedley I started trying to get this guy's attention at a stoplight "Yoo hoo! Cool plate! Do you play? Do you collect?" etc. The guy said he liked Atari as a kid, didn't own one at the present, and he actually seemed a little embarassed that I'd be asking him this stuff at all let alone in traffic. I was shocked to say the least. Here I am thinking I found a kindred spirit for me and my homey Altairboy and this guy turns out to be just some yuppie retro-poseur. That should be my plate, dammit.

My choices would be "ATARI26" or "GALAGA". Hell yeah...

[rbudrick]

Just yesterday I saw a "ZELDA" license plate. :)

-Rob

[link1110]

I never saw an -intentional- VG license plate, but here in NY circa 2000, they were giving out license plates with dw# as the first 3 characters. I could nto see one o fthose without thinking of Dragon Warrior.

I also saw one that said "N64 5FC" (Try translating the 5 from 1337-speak)

[SoulBlazer]

On a related note, I just noticed today that my RI Licence Plate I got last month is LV-461.

Was'nt that the name of the planet the Marines go to in Aliens? :hmm:

[digitalpress]

Perhaps one of the best ever, David Crane's license plate, as recorded at Classic Gaming Expo 2005:

[Famidrive-16]

There was one in EGM that was like MTROID or something like that...

[njiska]

Hmmm i wonder if anyone in my province already has an ND4SPD plate. That'd be cool if i could get it.

[Raedon]

I tried to get ATARI for my daily driver but it was taken.. my 99 FRC Corvette has an interesting plate.

I know I should know this, but what is it???

[K3V]

I saw a SYZYGY plate once. Pretty cool. 8-)

[alec006]

My Friend saw a car at E3 that had SHADOW on it. He said you could tell it was the hedgehog because he had a Shadow hanging from the mirror. I need to get that pic from my friend.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Hardie's plate is actually in reference to the Japanese board game, Go. I believe he even has a tattoo of it on his

I can't beleive his liscense plate doesn't read "Corona"

[snes_collector]

I don't believe I've ever seen an video game plate, but when I get I car(like in 3 years) I want it too say "SUPRNES". btw, I've always wondered this so now I'll ask it: if someone has plates in anyother state that says "SUPRNES" can I still get it?

[Zap!]

Here's mine. Not exactly video game related, but still ultra-cool:

I was going to post this topic again, but did a quick search to reveal that it has been done a few times previously.



I just changed my plates online today and will take a picture and add it to the thead later, but I just got......

8BITNES ( 8 bit nes )

I wanted something like Nintendo or Capt_N , but Nintendo doesnt fit and I wouldnt want people to think I was in the military. :P


Sorry I had to take a forum members name as my plate, but he doesnt live here anyhow ;)

I was thinking that. I wonder what he'll think LOL.
Cool plate, nontheless.

[Geddon_jt]

Awesome topic.
About 6 months ago, pulling out of Clearwater Mall in Clearwater, FL, there was a new Mercedes convertible with license plate "XEVIOUS".

I so wanted to get out of the car and talk to the guy. Always wondered if he ever visited this site.

[VACRMH]

A few months ago at a local fast food place I saw someone with "CONTRA" :D

[captain nintendo]

Being a big hockey fan and the fact that I have played hockey and goalie for a long time, I really wanted to use: "bigsave" or some other goalie term.

But in the end, I just decided that the NES is the way to go :)

[bazariah]

i used to see one quite frequently which was P4 DKC or something, which i allways thought donkey kong country, allthough it could've been the guys initials

if i wanted my intials it's be BMW lol

[DogP]

A friend of mine has GA1AGA on his plates... which means there's a GALAGA in VA also. Never seen that one though :P .

DogP

[2Dskillz]

This got me looking on the Virginia DMV web page. For most plates it is only an annual fee of $10 (4-6 weeks delivery). The # of characters depends on the plate type, with the most being 7.5 characters with is 7 alpha numeric and either a space, a dash, or an ampersand.

Do you think it would be better to go with a game reference, or use your handle like 2DSKILZ?

I am going to have to think of some ideas...

[DogP]

I dunno... I'd go with a game reference, just because I hate when I see a plate that I can't figure out, and it just ends up being some name or something... although 2DSKILZ would be easy enough to figure out if you had a Mario Bros bumper sticker or something. I've got the VA .com plates, but I haven't personalized them yet... I was thinking about doing DOGP, but I should register the DOGP.com domain, and then it'd be advertising too ;) .

But like I said, most people wouldn't have a clue what that is, and I hate plates like that :P . I guess they would probably figure out Dog-Pee and think it was funny, but wouldn't get it... like I saw a plate a while ago... it was CMPN5. At first, I thought it was hilarious... C-M-P-N 5... See 'em peein' 5. But I think it was supposed to be Campin 5 LOL .

DogP

[Retsudo]

Nope, never seen one.

[2Dskillz]

DogP thanks for the advice. I noticed that zangief would also fit nicely. I will just have to take some time with it but I do like the idea of using personalized plates for this. I will be sure to post whenever I do decide.

Someone in Grand Rapids, Michigan has a bright orange Gremlin with the license plate "QBERT". It rules.

[DDCecil]

I was in line at a local fast food joint, where a minivan in front of me had "GMRGRL" as its plate number. Of course a guy was driving it...

[qbertandernie]

saw this on ym way to work...i was running late and this guy was turning, so i didnt get a chance to talk to him, but his plate is nice!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/qbertandernie/mriobros.jpg

oh, i just remebered! a guy i know that has a game store called 'video game underground' has a license plate that says 'VGUG COM' then he just colored a dot before the 'com'.

[pacmanhat]

I can't say I've seen anything like this, but it's something I've considered doing from time to time. However, I think that if I were to get a customized plate, I'd probably go with something like 'ITSACAR'. :)

That would be great to see. That person probably rulles!

"You're so vain...you probably think this plate is about you..."

Kupo's my boyfriend's cat's name.

Just wanted to share that. LOL

Also, I have never seen a video game vanity plate, but I did see a NH plate that said PLATE and thought it mildly amusing

EDIT: I forget whether my boyfriend saw this in person or if it was in a magazine (it might've actually been in person) but it was an all-blue car with Sonic the Hedgehog stickers and shit all over it and a Sonic clingie in the back window and everything and vanity plates that either said SONIC or something related to Sonic the Hedgehog. I wish I'd seen that!

[GameSlaveGaz]

Forgive my extreme ignorance, but how many letters can fit on a plate?

Seven letters, I believe, is the maximum for most states.

6 in MA. Some might even be 8. You have to ask your local RMV or DMV (whatever your state calls it)

last week I saw a dude driving around here with MAR10
not sure if it was his name or a game fan.

I remember the first time I heard of someone REALLY named Mario. It was a fellow 2 or 3rd grader and I made a joke which I think almost started a fight. Hehe LOL I think the joke was something like, "Hey Mario where's Luigi?"

[MeatPopsicle]

Quite a while back, I saw a mid-70's Cadillac with Texas (I think it was Texas anyway) PAC MAN plates.

when I was in high school I kept seeing this car with the following plate...KAGE MARU.

whether it was gaming related or not it's tough to say, but it is the ninja from virtua fighter.

NY allows 8 for plates, so you can get much more creative.

[SirDrexl]

I don't think I've seen any intentional VG ones, but I do see a lot of cars with "SNK" on their plates.
