Pretty good game. It needs more achievements as well:)
chashodges 7 Feb 2018 21:18
Keen to see an update / revision for this! Just recently started playing this game again for the first time in about 20 years!
Sweepz 3 Jul 2018 16:22
Definitely be cool to see a 1cc chievo added.

Mastered. Controls were a little rough for me at first but finally got it going. Some of the jumps were tricky
Princescyther 21 Nov 2021 17:17
Loved this game as a kid. Its unique controls take a while to get used to but man, when you get it down it is fun as hell. Hard as hell too I should add.
Wulden 23 Jan 2024 16:31
Alright folks. Per the pitched plan in the forums, I am now working on a revision for this game. TL:DR - I will be adding weapon themed achievements, boss themed achievements, and a few challenge achievements based around what code logic I can figure out/find in the memory. Should make this into a much more fun set to work through, and give players a feeling of improvement as they work toward completing the set. :D In the end, most of these new achievements will be able to be earned in one push similar to how it is now, but any of the ones that may require multiple playthroughs should be reasonable as opposed to making the process of mastering this set arduous.
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 14:58
Set is Revised. Enjoy folks!
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 16:07
Gosh darn it... There is aparantly an oversite with the bosses that is making the achievements unreliable to pop. I am fixing them now.
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 16:36
Alright, now they all should be working properly.
DryIce53 26 Jan 2024 16:52
oh dear...
wondermaster 26 Jan 2024 17:16
Lol. I take achievments on demo screen.
Sweepz 26 Jan 2024 18:50
the 10k cheevo pops in demo but that's been like that since the OG set which is easy to obtain in the first place. Anyhow I can't wait to dive back into Atomic Runner! i'm going to start it up here in a few. Thanks again for showing this game some love Wulden. <3
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 18:53
I am gonna fix that too. I did not realize that things were popping in the demo when I was testing this... That is a huge oversight along the lines of the fact that I goofed when promoting achievements.

I am going through my list of cheeves that were earned, so I can pitch to have manual unlocks for everyone that got them.
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 19:03
Again, sorry folks. Things should be ironed out now with the cheeves and the manual unlocks will hopefully be coming soon.
Wulden 26 Jan 2024 19:04
Also, at the time of this message if you are currently playing, you will want to reload the game in your emulator in order to update to RA servers.
Wulden 26 Feb 2024 01:56
Folks, by request, I am going to make a bit of a change for transparency with the achievements. Originally, I had separated the timers using Triggers because the Measured achievements would conflict with each other information wise. They would record properly, so you could keep track of them, but they would display INGAME in a wierd way. It was requested to have the measurements instead of the trigger, so you could better keep tabs on your progress.

updating the set accordingly.
KayhemMaus 23 Mar 2024 17:32
Boss 3 is refusing to trigger for me. In fact, the first time I tried it gave me Boss 4's achievement
Wulden 23 Mar 2024 17:39
I will look into this soon as I get home. Have not seen this happen before.
