Great way to keep your scores in the challenge you to keep playing your game

So what I love about this is what I love about all of the high score kids here is that it breeze new life into my game. Seeing my scores help challenge me to try to keep going. It's nice not having the scores wiped out the second you turn off the machine. Plus this is super duper easy to install that a baby could do it. Don't be afraid this is worth every penny! Like all of the kids this is super high quality.

Our feedback: Enjoy!
