high score table
Best players list
A high score table is a ranked list of top performances in a video game, displaying player names or initials alongside their scores.
Arcade games popularized the format, encouraging competition and repeat play: I finally got my initials on the high score table.
The concept extends to any leaderboard ranking achievements.
