TOPIC: Twin Galaxies

In my last post I talked about how the original acrade games focused on high scores and that is why people spent hour after hour playing games. With modern style games this type of game play has disappeared. There are however ranking systems on certain games that, because of the advances of the internet, that include players from all over the world when they are connected through a system like Xbobx or Playstation. But the original scorekeepers are from an arcade from Iowa called Twin Galaxies. They became this concept of score keeping. In order for a score to be the world record it had to be kept but Twin Galaxies. To some extent, it still is the only word on whether someone has a record in a game and what it is. Here is a link to their official site which gives a lot more information about them.
