This community is unofficial. Let me know if a developer of RetroAchievements wishes to have a Lemmy community.

RetroAchievements is a service that adds achievements to old games! From Gameboy to PlayStation 2 to the TurboGrafx-CD, regular and challenge achievement sets are available across myriad games and game hacks.

The achievement system is baked into specific emulators, and requires nothing more than the proper ROM or ISO and your user credentials to start earning.

I think for me it's Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town. Even though the triggers can be a bit bugged at times the achievements act as a great way to track progress like character events and your relationship level with people of the town. It's not super hard to check when dealing with the bachelorettes because their heart level is shown but seeing exact percentages is nice.

They have also incentivised me to play a lot NES games I may not have normally played like Abadox.

It's got to be the one for Super Mario World. It's just so nostalgic and brings back so many memories from my childhood. The achievements are really well thought out and add a new level of challenge to the game. I can't recommend it enough!

Does it encourage you to play in alternative ways? I think there's some achievement for Super Mario Bros involving only jumping a minimum number of times per level for example.

The Mini Mario vs the World achievements definitely makes you play different, forcing you to dodge certain items and power ups as you play through and beat various parts of the game!

Reminds me of the Communist Mario ROM hack where you die if you get any coins.

Those were so fun. Did you do the Starman challenge? I'm still working on it

Do you mind explaining what that is?
