	RicardoSilva 28 Mar 2017 01:06 I've done Fire Away and the Cheevo don't unlocked, does anyone knows why?
	RicardoSilva 3 Apr 2017 05:48 yes actually you have to play on European version to unlock Save Yellow,Thanks for the tip Roger MDR, I'll try Fire Away next since didn't popped for me as well.
	shotobro 30 Dec 2017 01:52 hey guys did fire away on the us and E roms and it hasn't popped. can we get this fixed please?
	MrGauss 23 Feb 2019 05:10 Set revision is now finished! Very happy about it. All the cheevos had their logic improved and are all working with the (U) rom that now is the default for this game. Have fun, RA!
	MrGauss 23 Feb 2019 20:59 A word regardirng the no-death medals. As long as you die but return to the stage begining you will still be able to get the medal. The medal won't be awarded only if you die and restart a stage from the middle checkpoint.
	MrGauss 23 Feb 2019 21:00 A word regarding the no-death medals. As long as you die but return to the stage begining you will still be able to get the medal. The medal won't be awarded only if you die and restart a stage from a checkpoint.
	TheEmpress 19 Mar 2019 16:35 The new stamps, cool! and also thanks to Scott and MrGauss for the corrections and new achieviments. I feel motivated to play again, this time for 200%
	MrGauss 19 Mar 2019 16:55 It's always a pleasure. This game is a gem and deserves all our love. If you run into any problem, just send a message! Have fun!!
	Golem 19 Mar 2019 22:57 New achievements for the gold fund Sega, fine.I hope that they will add new ones for the game Alien Solder from the same developer
	Golem 11 Apr 2019 15:30 phew it was hard
	Weatherby 15 Apr 2019 06:24 Logic on some of these seems off. Been getting the no damage achievements while totally taking damage. As of the last couple levels, achievements no longer seem to be unlocking at all.
	MrGauss 9 May 2019 06:12 Weathrby, all of the cheevos were throughoutly tested. If you're playing on RetroArch, make sure to always use the latest version available as some earlier versions doesn't recognize some of the logic features used in the programming.
	MrGauss 9 May 2019 06:14 If the problems persist, please send me a message with the details or open a ticket for inspection. Thanks in advance and happy gaming :)
	MrGauss 19 Nov 2019 17:53 Set is now up to date with the new RA scoring standards. For anyone playing this set:* Cheevos will lock up if you activate the 2nd player. All of them are for single player mode. You'll need to restart your emulator if the 2nd player is activated.
	MrGauss 19 Nov 2019 17:54 * All of the "no damage cheevos" are sensitive to save state abuse. Use it at your own risk.
	HDRcade 5 Sep 2020 09:39 I wish achievements could be for 2 players (or at least some of the set) as this game is best enjoyed that way. Great to see this game here though.
	Xeinok 17 Sep 2020 04:32 Might be nice to include (SP Only) or something since the achievements don't work in 2-player it seems?
	mikeisafighter 17 Nov 2020 14:08 Mastered. Not an easy set to master but I have played this game a bunch in the past so I had that going for me.
	Bongtoker87 8 Nov 2021 16:10 Nice set but I'll give it my best but I've been playing this since I got it back in 2005 for 8 pound
	vekucloud 28 Apr 2022 02:38 Just noticed that there is a 2player check in the flags, but its checked as to not allow 2players is there a reason? Or could it be changed to allow 2players. Would like to complete this with a friend.
