5 Mar 2018 23:54		Congrats for the initiative, but some cheevos, like "Indiana Jones", doesn't trigger at all.
6 Mar 2018 0:30		I walked more than 25 screens to the left and the "Swashbuckler of the West" cheevo doesn`t triggered...i fall ONE TIME into a dungeon and loose ONE LIFE; is the cheevo without falling and dying or what?;)
6 Mar 2018 21:58		Both Swashbuckler of the West and Spelunker of the West, required not losing a life because while respawning, you authomatically changed direction to right. Right now it's allowed to die.
6 Mar 2018 21:59		@Wendigo "Indiana Jones" was indeed bugged - I've granted you this achievement and fixed it.
6 Mar 2018 22:44		I got "Commando of the West" cheevo and the "Swashbucler from the West" cheevo doesn`t triggered...i change direction ON THE SAME SCREN twice; that`s why i didn`t got the cheevo?!?
6 Mar 2018 23:06		Thank you, @Salsa. But "Explorer of the West" is broken too. See, If I get "Reach the 128th screen advancing on ground without falling into dungeon (left), (Vanguard of the West)" I also did "Reach the 128th screen advancing on ground (left)".
7 Mar 2018 0:10		I recall I've made changes there, but I guess I didn't commited it last night. Granted and fixed
7 Mar 2018 0:29		Nice work Salsa!;)
7 Mar 2018 1:21		Good job, @Salsa. Great game.
7 Mar 2018 9:34		<3
10 Mar 2018 1:15		I need to find a point where I can go 25 screens underground without being stopped by these brick walls =\
10 Mar 2018 2:01		@Jungon A tip: if you will get to the dungeon and get out (going down the ladder and up, knowing where those walls are), it will count too.
13 Apr 2018 2:30		Ok, now my new problem is,... I need to be 2 seconds faster so I can reach the last treasure =O
3 Aug 2018 9:56		The leaderboard just doesn't seem to be working here. Is it broken in RAlibretro or something?
6 Oct 2019 20:30		I need an advice please if I want to collect all treasure. Do i must go to the left or to the right ?? :)
23 Aug 2020 0:48		Most people go right to grab the first treasure, grab the next ladder and go left then
30 Apr 2021 1:08		Mastered (#33)
21 Jun 2021 11:14		Great set!
25 Mar 2022 11:50		Enjoyed these, thanks!
27 Jul 2022 4:48		Mastered! A daunting game to complete. For the Explorer/Vanguard achievements, just make sure you don't die or turn around--those will ruin the achievement. For the underground explorer ones, since that's a little confusingly worded, I'd recommend using a map and taking any valid tunnels (ones that don't lead to brick walls) it says exists. Take enough tunnels in one direction or another and the achievement will trigger. This means I've mastered both Pitfall 2600 games and that's just satisfying to me.
