High score saves add to the enjoyment of playing classic arcade games. Technology to save high scores slowly started to appear in 1980 but many classic arcade games unfortunately didn't include this feature. Modern technology and some dedicated and talented individuals have endeavored to create solutions to remedy this.
Below is a list of all the high score saves that I'm aware of. If I'm missing any, let me know!
