This achievement in earthbound had me doing something I never knew about in 30 years of playing my favorite game.

  This is what I really enjoy about RA. When I started going through games on it, it made me change how I played the Mega Man games. Absolutely worth it. I need to get back to playing some more retro games again.

  I love these obscure RA entries. I also love that all the Yugioh games are straightforward.

    Nah. Retro achievements is a free site that you can sign into with any modern emulator and it tracks your progress and gives you achievements just like Xbox or something. Here, I’m running it on my pi Gameboy using retropie.

  God I loved Earthbound. Probably in my top ten to this day.

  I never thought about using RA for experiencing games differently (I’ve never been much of an acheivment guy in general), however I think I will start using RA now.

    What is RA in this context? Online search isn’t being very productive.

    Thats the best use for it, that and motivation to get over the hump where you usually quit on a game

  Played Earthbound at least six times and didn’t know this.
