- QUOTE: Leaderboards are essentially a multiplayer implementation of the high score system found in a variety of arcade and pinball games. However, they differ in the sense that online leaderboards may track a variety of statistics, whereas an arcade game's scoreboard only lists high scores from players who have played the machine in person.
What a leaderboard measures is entirely up to each individual developer's implementation of a leaderboard in a game. Some games may only show leaderboards for game completion times, placing emphasis on pure speed runs without accounting for other statistics. Others may track a variety of statistics, even the more obscure and quirky ones.
In addition to multiplayer leaderboards, there are also leaderboards for some single-player games; for example, a developer could include leaderboards for how fast the game was completed and how many kills a player has attained.

- Leaderboard signifies rank among people who play various titles. Players can be ranked against other players based on their number of kills (most common), items collected, or some other metric. Overall, leaderboards can provide an incentive for players to improve as they give many a sense of superiority or accomplishment.
