What’s retroachievements? Basically it adds XBOX Live style achievements and global high score tables to retro emulation platforms. This added layer of social gaming and community driven accomplishment hunting really builds on the retro games emulation experience. The best part is you can get it running on pretty much any platform you emulate games on, your phone, your deck, your weird android handheld, HTPC, even your lappy-5000.

Since RA adds score and achievement tracking, those of us who game at decisively higher levels and compete for the most glorious prizes imaginable like to use it to track our games. Now is a great time to get it set up, so when the call for challengers comes to Beehaw, you can dive right in.

Here are some of the most fun achievements I have personally gotten.

Batman Returns

Castlevania 3

Arthur’s Absolutely Fun Day

Felix the Cat

Anyway, this has been anarchist propaganda, toodles

    Oh, I played through Dawn as a kid multiple times. It’s great. It’s what made me play Aria in the first place.

    I’ve tried Bloodstained, but another game release got in the way. Definitely need to give it another go.

    Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out.

    I used RetroArch when I played Aria. Works, has support for Retroachievements built in, is cross platform, and I even got it to where I could save on mobile and have it sync to my PC and vice versa, but I don’t like the interface. I even got to the point where I could theoretically sync the saves to my modded 3DS, but only manually.
