In case you didn’t know about the games holiday that happens today, it’s called National Games Day:
Considering they are a fun break from routine, games have been around in some form or the other throughout our civilization. After all, games sharpen our problem-solving abilities, our goal-focused strategies, focus and concentration, coordination and communication skills, social interaction, and multi-tasking. They can also be a motivating way to learn, and also give us a better understanding of different cultures.
So how did an official day to pay respect to games come along? Originally, Games Day was the name of an annual gaming convention that first took place in 1975. Sponsored by the British game production company Games Workshop
GAMES DAY – December 20, 2023 – National Today
If you need a game to play, we’ve got an interesting arcade game this week you might not have heard of or played before. The band, sure, you know songs like “Don’t Stop Believing”.
This week’s featured game is Journey.

This will take you directly to the official PGM iScored Score Chasing Scoreboard at the spot where you will enter your score on Journey (arcade). Where can you play? Here are a few suggestions (alphabetical order) but is not a complete list by any means:
- Arcade – yes, check your local area for barcades, arcades, mallcades, etc. You might have an arcade machine nearby and play might still be a quarter!
- Various Emulated / MAME / CoinOpsX / etc – emulated versions are allowed, but we do not typically link to these sources.
- Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch – search the stores for consoles for “arcade archives” as sometimes there are licensed versions of the games we feature available.
Now that you have located where to play, simply start playing to establish your personal best score. The goal of score chasing is not a typical leaderboard high score, be the top score tournament. We simply want you to play and beat your personal best.
