Use King's Quest V (USA)

Oh man, all the deaths. This is going to be a painful completion, but I must do it.

Lousy port (I wish I'd read the save game disclaimer BEFORE leaving Serenia :P), but what an excellent achievement set. Puzzling out the deaths was a blast.

I suppose I should state that warning here as well, some people don't read the forums. Your savegames don't save when you reset, you must note your password to continue in another session.

Or you could just make a save state.

Most people play hardcore mode, and you can't load a savestate then enter hardcore, so you have to hardsave.

I think Meat your Demise achievement is buged for me

I think Meat your Demise and Bonk on the head are bugged too. Can't figure out a toymaker affair either

I don't get the death achievements. I assume you have to get killed by something then the achievement pops, but i've been killed by a variety of things and don't get the achievement. And yes Retroarch picks up at the beginning the achievement set.

The controls are a little on the clunky side, but still a fun game to master

Why did this get demoted?
Empovyle 16 Nov 2023 02:17
I believe it got demoted because passwords were accidentally left enabled in the achievement coding. It got noticed during one of the RARoulette weeks this year and has been sitting in limbo ever since.
vintageclassicgamer 17 Nov 2023 21:26
Since you had to die a billion times with no save weren't passwords mandatory? Idk I never got to try it. I remember a bunch of cryptic death Cheevos.
