They are not so common in Category:Computer Games since players' scores can there be displayed more compactly in their own individual areas of the interface with is updated by the computer as gameplay progresses.

Diegetic Aspects
Building on earlier sources[1], Parlett argues that it "seems intuitively obvious" that the use of Score Tracks led to the development of games with Races[2], both on a gameplay and thematic level.
