5 Jun 2018 3:59		They do stack
29 Nov 2018 3:26		Battery save protection is added to the set as well as other fixes.
3 Dec 2018 23:21		If you're playing on RetroArch please use QuickNES core only for this set.
8 Dec 2018 3:34		Question: Am I going crazy or is the ice beam achievement glitched? Because I picked up the one in Brinstar first, then picked it up in Norfair but the achievement didn't pop. Was I supposed to pick it up in Norfair first for the achievement to work?
10 Dec 2018 15:36		ice beam achievement is glitched
12 Dec 2018 21:34		And I guess alienation is also broken.
20 Dec 2018 17:22		Ice Beam was broken. Fixed now.
21 Dec 2018 8:33		Alienation wasn't completely broken but it's fixed too.
15 Apr 2020 18:29		And that's precisely why I love this community. Only time I had played this game was inside the Metroid Zero Mission bonus and only did the basic. Now, after mastering this classic, I feel so much closer to this epic series.
15 Apr 2020 18:32		It isn't just about the points, it's about truly diving into the game. It's about learning how to truly understand the soul of each game. Thank you, RA.
5 Jul 2020 17:45		played through the game on retroarch and only received the 5 achievements for each level. basic achievements didnt work.. any advice would help
5 Aug 2020 16:07		There's def an issue with FCEUmm and a few achievements. If you want all to pop use QuickNes core.
28 Aug 2020 17:53		retroarch says achives not supported?
29 Aug 2020 13:42		You need to use the Quicknes Core like I said in my last post here.
10 Sep 2020 22:10		Platinado!
28 Oct 2020 16:12		Love it!
16 Nov 2020 16:55		Finally mastered this
20 Nov 2020 1:18		quick question before I start trying the speedruns, what is considered a "loop"? Also, can I use the second controller to use the password screen in order to backtrack faster?
20 Nov 2020 15:08		Loop refers to your current playthrough of the game. After the credits of your first run you can restart the game with all the items of your previous playthrough. For this reason, only the 1st loop is considered on the achievements.
15 Jul 2021 19:07		I like this kind of sets. It doesn't make you go out of your way while playing the game, and yet it rewards people who want to invest time on the game through the ending achievements.
