If anyone is getting excessive flickering, you can enable "Hard GPU Sync" in the Video settings. This worked for me.

The eggs would make a nice omelette did not unlock for me (and others I assume, considering more people have unlocked the 50K level than the 25K).

Twice now I've gotten well over 100k points in normal mode and the 75k achievement hasn't triggered.

Aw, the 75k achievement didn't popped up when i got it :(
SporyTike 30 Mar 2019 08:32
The 5k, 25k and 75k achievements are now fixed.

Any chance you could make a set for the 7800 version? I see there a few 7800 games supported here now
