'''Twin Galaxies''' [http://www.twingalaxies.com/] is a videogame scorekeeping site. It styles itself as "The Official Electronic Scoreboard" and "The Worldwide Authority on Player Rankings, Gaming Statistics and Championship Tournaments". It was founded in 1981 by Walter Day, and therefore holds the honour of being the earliest videogame rankings authority.

TG has arguably the largest manifest of any web videogame rankings in that it technically encompasses every method of playing every game in existence. However, in practice, TG is far from the "official authority" on many of these games; it has always remained largely focused on classic arcade games (as it has since day one) rather than modern games. In addition, its proof requirements are generally extremely high relative to other sites, and it takes a long time between updates. Modern console records listed on TG are generally likely to be very out of date.

However Twin Galaxies is the only organization officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records and is considered the authority on highscores in old arcade games.
