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)".
Salsa 7 Mar 2018 00:10
I recall I've made changes there, but I guess I didn't commited it last night. Granted and fixed
JMaio 7 Mar 2018 00:29
Nice work Salsa!;)

Good job, @Salsa. Great game.

Jungon 10 Mar 2018 01:15
I need to find a point where I can go 25 screens underground without being stopped by these brick walls =\
Salsa 10 Mar 2018 02:01
@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.
Jungon 13 Apr 2018 02:30
Ok, now my new problem is,... I need to be 2 seconds faster so I can reach the last treasure =O
TheBatman 3 Aug 2018 09:56
The leaderboard just doesn't seem to be working here. Is it broken in RAlibretro or something?
Zowie 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 ?? :)
Jungon 23 Aug 2020 00:48
Most people go right to grab the first treasure, grab the next ladder and go left then

Enjoyed these, thanks!
mariteaux 27 Jul 2022 04:48
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.
krehztim 7 Sep 2022 00:29
These are GREAT, thanks! I still don't understand how to trigger the spelunker ones, but I'll try a few more things before giving up.
mariteaux 7 Sep 2022 14:31
Spelunker is the same thing as the aboveground achievements, but just keep using the real (non-brick wall) pathways underground and don't turn around until they trigger. There's really no shame in using a map for this game, there's a really good one that shows you all the tunnels that don't lead into brick walls. Just take those tunnels in one direction until that achievement triggers.
krehztim 18 Sep 2022 02:16
Almost done. Would be great if this had an achievement for scoring 114,000, since that's the real objective of the game. It's definitely harder than just getting all 32 treasures.
PETSUISSE 16 Nov 2022 16:43
I don't understand the Tarzan achievement. How does it work ? - Thanks -
Dogmeatman 16 Nov 2022 16:47
You have to swing across 25 vines going only left or right. If you change direction the achievement resets. I always find disabling one of the direction keys helps so if you do accidentally press the wrong way it won't reset.
