I'm looking for ideas...I would love to see how you guys show or display the high scores made in your personal arcade? Leave them on the machines? Have them up on the wall? Let's see!
 
Thanks guys! I have a big whiteboard, but I love those concession stand signs!
 
For home arcades, a simple excel chart with some graphics would work fine as a Powerpoint presentation. Can connect to a TV or overhead projector.

Plus you get all those snazzy wipes.
 
Finally got my High Score board up! An old dry erase board, some black electrical tape and help from Zenner at The Zencade with some vinyl stickers and BAM.

I don't worry about that unless the game saves it. Asteroids, Centipede and the Megatouches do. I don't have a large number of people over playing the games. If that were the case, then displaying the info might be desirable.

I use powerpoint slides with a 1 or 2 sec delay between screens. You get whatever snazzy graphics you'd like with the scores in whatever format you'd like displayed any way you'd like. I use that game's arcade flyer for each game.

Mine cycles between game specific screens and starts with an overview screen of all the high scores.

I drive it with my vertical MAME cab; when it comes on, the high score screen comes on with it and the powerpoint slideshow runs in the background of MAME on its own display screen.

The actual powerpoint slide lives on my desktop a few rooms away and it's trivial to edit.
 
Thank you! It's like 4 foot wide. He's big!

Yeeeeeeeah, I couldn't fit that in my area.... As it stands, my 12"x18" white board is "hogging space". Still, it's an idea for the future. Mostly because I know I'll never get my hands on a sandwich board, like we had in the "old days".
