LCD TV into High Score Display

[DrChek]

I have an old LCD TV that I'd like to turn into a high score display for my arcade room. Here's what I'd like to have it do:

- Endlessly scroll through a list of high scores for all the popular games that get played on my cabinet.
- Each line would be formatted as such: "GAME   INITIALS    SCORE"
- The high scores would ideally be pulled from a shared resource, e.g. a google doc spreadsheet, so that scores could be easily updated and the display would always reflect the current document contents.

I'm imagining something like this could be built with an inexpensive Raspberry Pi Zero W and some Python code, but before I go and build my own custom solution, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has done anything like this before.

So does anything already exist for this?

Sounds like what Yotsuya did with his scoreboard build.
