About

Based in Melbourne, Australia, EnterYourInitials began life many years ago as the domain BeatTheMachine. This was primarily devoted to game development and the projects I was working on. My hold on the domain name lapsed and it has since been owned by someone else. All of the original posts were lost and most of the content gone. What little I had stored was reworked into a new site – www.newhighscore.net and it’s purpose was to again promote my game development. However this time it’s focus was on mobile devices using the Corona and Gideros SDK’s. It was intended to expand over time to include my older work with platforms like Gameboy Advance, OpenGL, C64, Assembly, Turbo Pascal and just about anything else I had developed on/with over the years. For over 3 years newhighscore.net was my home, but with a change in hosting company, I decided for a change in domain too.

During my time with newhighscore.net, my hobbies and interests began to take a turn towards classic arcade gaming. A strong emphasis being on Arcade machine construction and restoration. I went on to build multiple upright and cocktail machines, along with restoring originals. This has now become my primary focus and so the site has evolved into www.enteryourinitials.com (I was never a fan of the .net domain name, so glad to now be posting to a .com).

I will continue to present my projects on the site, most will now be arcade and pinball projects, although I will continue to throw up some other interesting things along the way.
