What about a scolling LED display?
How do you guys keep track of high scores at your housecade?

Awesome thread ...here's a thought
When i finally finish my arcade i would like to do something like this however im a statistics type person so i want to run with this.
top 10 leaderboard for all my games, with name and date. With about 15 games to manage, this would definately be cluttered so my way around that would be to buy a cheap LCD and a cheap PC, Media extender and run maybe a logo of game ---> fade to the champion screen of that game ---> then a top 10 table of that game.
It will be always visable and i like the top 10 because it gives people who dont live here a shot at leaderboarding a game.

Sure. Rub it in. You got a "useful" degree while I got mine in Business Management...
Sadly, none of my degrees have anything to do with anything fun... heh.

I really like the push in letter boards, very retro, but rarely do you see them with people's names, which kinda ruins it. I guess it'd be easy enough to make space for initials.
I have a dry erase board with printouts of all the marquees stuck on, and name and score next to it. It's functional but I'd love to have a really, really nice setup. Just needed something until I got around to making something nicer.

Yes yes! I like that Hyde. I like how it's right there at the machine and is easily updated. Much nicer than my post it idea. I think that plus a score board would be nice. Where'd you find those?

Yeah, it is super easy to update once a score is broken. Great for games that don't save highscores, or any game for that matter. I made these cards about a year ago. I based them off of the ones the Time-Out arcades used to use.
Here is the image, if any of you guys would like to print some out. I would recommend doing it on cardstock. It is pretty cheap but nice and durable.

Hmmm... I don't see why not. I have never actually tried it, though.

/thread over.
I use the repro Time Out cards, but a variation on that scoreboard above, with players' initials added, is the goal.

If your knowledgeable with microcontroller's you could build a circuit with an LCD that show's game scores.
I use an app called Awesome Note to edit an Evernote note on my iPhone with high scores in it. Can get to it from anywhere. I've thought about switching to a whiteboard though.
