The Wall of Names - Global Arcade Leaderboards
This is the modern version of three letters on a CRT: the top 50 scores for every machine on Arcade.now, ranked by score with ties broken by whoever got there first. Guests appear under their chosen nickname, and Google sign-in locks your entries to your name across every device you play on.
Use the tabs to switch machines and time windows - "today" is the honest fight, "all time" is the hall of fame. Chasing something fairer? The daily challenge gives everyone the same seeded run, and each game's guide (like the Gem Columns strategy page) is the fastest way to climb this list legitimately.

How This Board Keeps Itself Honest
The house rules
- Scores post themselves. Runs submit automatically the moment they end; nothing is typed in.
- Impossible numbers bounce. Values a machine cannot produce are rejected at the door.
- Ties go to the clock. Equal scores rank by whoever got there first.
Every machine ranks by score, highest first. The "run time" column is context, not a tiebreaker - surviving longer usually is the strategy.
Want your name here? Pick one machine and commit. The Gem Columns page carries a full strategy section written for exactly this climb, and the daily seed is the perfect practice arena - Same layout all day, infinite retries, fresh start tomorrow.
