Either Tengen ROM comes up with empty achievement list. Have to use Japan, Japan REV A, or USA Namco roms only.

10,000 and 20,000 popped automatically for me when i entered game. I erased the achievments twice but they still popped. I have every intention on getting them legit, just thought u should no.

Tried Japan, Japan REV A and USA Namco. Achievement list shows for all but none of the achievements pop when done.

Has anyone noticed that they changed Blue Ghost's pattern on the NES Version?
AntonioFNN 3 Sep 2021 13:55
I always knew that one day I would have to create my own pattern in Pac Man. This site makes me feel like a player who went up to level 34 and back to fight bosses from when I was at level 10.

The Genre is incorrect. It's not a "Platformer" game, it's an "Arcade" game.
JAM 23 Oct 2021 19:39
Changed the genre. Thanks for noticing.

Mastery #11 Jesus the 9th key level took me about a week of just practicing to finally get.
Greenchili 6 Dec 2021 11:43
All fruit achievements except for Cherry Cherry Lady show as "hardcore mode" in the emulator. But don't show up at all as possibilities here on the site. What's up with that?
Greenchili 6 Dec 2021 11:49
ok nevermind. I had to turn on "test unofficial" mode and then they show up as "unofficial" and trigger properly.

Sixteen Bue Keys? I almost died to get 9...
JAM 5 Aug 2022 20:46
I'm sorry but I have to temporarily demote all new achievements. Already got 4 tickets and 2 reports in PM (without actually opening tickets) and I didn't tested compatibility with European version (seems like there are also problems with it, at least one of them is game being in 50 FPS that is 20% slower). I want to be 100% sure everything is working well before placing it back but don't worry. Anyone who already got new achievements will keep their unlocks when achievements will be re-promoted.
