Ferret Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 If you were tasked with creating achievements for updates to or rereleases of old games for console or PC, which games would you choose, and what sorts of hallmarks would you see as being worth logging? Of course there would be the gameplay related ones, such as picking up a particular weapon for the first time, but also more esoteric ones (hopefully that don't revolve around repetitive actions that take hours to complete). Of course, this goes hand in hand with achievement generators which were popular in the past, but instead of creating fake 'real life' achievements or adding your own ideas to games made after the achievement craze began, you would be focusing on your classic favorites. Ideas should be example of realistic goals, however (nothing like "Beat all Wily forms in Mega Man without taking damage", not all of us are that good) and able to be obtained within a reasonable amount of playthroughs. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubble Bobble: Complete ten rooms without losing a life. Collect all six EXTEND bubbles. Castlevania: One achievement for each boss you defeat. Contra: Earn an extra life. Complete any stage without picking up any power-ups. Double Dragon: Learn a new attack. Learn all attacks. Knock Abobo off of a conveyor belt. Dragon Warrior: Gain a level. Learn a spell. Defeat a dragon. Final Fantasy: Gain the ship. Defeat a Fiend. Battle WarMech. Kirby's Adventure: Defeat any boss without taking damage. Combine two enemy powers. Use the Microphone. The Legend of Zelda: Find a Heart Container outside of dungeons. Buy a Blue Ring. Defeat a Gohma with a single arrow. Mega Man: Defeat any Robot Master. Find the Magnet Beam Generator.
