There may be situations where someone does not want to save the high score.
I think of someone playing on a friend's computer, and who does not want to
disturb the high score list. Or in an office, where the employee does not
want anyone to know that he played games during business hours. :-)

So, I think there should be the option to NOT save the high score. There may
be two buttons "Cancel without saving" and "Save and Close" (no, that is
ambiguous, since "Close" could also mean to exit the game). Maybe just
"Don't save" and "Save"?

Just my two cents,
Burkhard
