What is a "high score"?
A high score is the highest number of points achieved in a game, often recorded as a goal for players to beat. High scores are commonly seen in arcade games, competitive games, and online leaderboards. They represent a player's skill and success in reaching the top performance level within the game. In many cases, players strive to achieve the highest score possible to earn bragging rights or recognition. Some games have a system where high scores are saved or displayed, allowing players to compete for the top spot.
