How do you guys keep track of high scores at your housecade?

Hi guys,
was wondering how you keep track of high scores for your games that don't save? I've seen some nice hi score eraseable boards. I was Thinking about using post-its.. If it's not too tacky. I like the idea of the score being physically attached to the game it's tracking. What solutions have you guys come up with?

Thanks
Tom
 
Non-tacky post-it notes suck. They end up falling off whatever you put them on ;)

Get back to work. Break doesn't start for another 2 minutes!
 
theres a bunch of threads on this already, I dont think any had to many ideas though

A couple people I think use those black boards that you can snap the letters into, kinda like what you would see at a consession stand

Also dry erase/chalk boards and maybe even a cork board with index cards for each game.
 
Here is the menu style:

Wow, thanks for the pic, that black press board looks amazing! I wonder how much a setup like that goes for?

I really like the dry erase board as well. Gotta love the trash talk factor... Hadn't even considered that, lol.

Would love to see more high score pics if anyone has them!

Hey nice to see bank panic getting some love. A friend of mine swears it's fun, but I've never played it. Just picked up a bank panic pcb on eBay today. Curious about all the upside down picture frames?

I have an old school menu board from a restaurant with the letters and numbers and we put them on there.
 
I think the best/coolest way I've seen it done was that someone got matching marquees for all their cabinets, mounted them on a chalkboard, and then put the score next to the respective marquee. Pretty sure I saw it on ataricade.com but the link is down :(

Heh - I got it for my wife:

she had fond memories of it from her childhood - took me 3 years to find one and got it at a local arcade auction fully intact and working for $175. I think it's boring personally but it makes the wife happy.

Heh - my plan is to have flyers of all my games printed out and displayed around the high score board. I have all the flyers and just need to get them printed. The frames I got at the dollar store for ... $1 each. Should look good once done (I hope anyway)
