Perfectionist66 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 not to be bustin bubbles, but am I the only one who thinks that these achievements seem a wee bit on the completely stupid end? clockstopper? rockstorm? who would think of these things!? I wish they were more straight forward and not so misleading. Geometry wars was a good example of good acheivements IMO. well, just wanted to share my thoughts on these.

synister EFFECT Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Does anyone at all even have all the achievements on this game yet? Some seem really hard to get. Also, I dont see the point in some of the achievements repeating themselves, just some on asteriod and some on asteriod deluxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymango Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm so tired of the Throttle-Mode achievements. They have got to be some of the worst achievements to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybuonviri Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 So what achievements have people managed to get? I did the 28 shots one, but that's it. I can't even come close to the others. On the leaderboards only a few people have ever passed 99990 points, so that one seems ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrottenSandwich Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You know I liked Asteroids back in the day but I was horrible at it. Funny that these old retro games have the hardest freaken achievments...... Tapper, Tempest, Missle Command, Contra's....... etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evangoemotion7 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 wow i should not have bought this game, and the achievments are so ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmu Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 throttle monkey is pure luck in my opinion, 250000 points seems impossible compared to other impossible achievements like mad marine, wave 100 (robotron), and wave 100 (joust) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattooed si Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I wish i hadn't bought this game because the achievements are solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManMasterer Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I just got ruthless today, and I had the one where you shoot a satalite and its spreads into 6 pieces when a spaceship is on the screen. I am now going for throttle monkey and I am super close, I think I'm #38 on the leader board on throttle monkey, I will get it very soon. But yeah these achievements are way too tough. Did someone say there was a shield in this game? and if so how do you use it? I saw some reference to it in the guide., I know about telporting, but I am not aware of a shield.

MegaManMasterer Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) So what achievements have people managed to get? I did the 28 shots one, but that's it. I can't even come close to the others. On the leaderboards only a few people have ever passed 99990 points, so that one seems ridiculous. Yahoo!, I now have 120G/200G on this game now!!! I am only missing the 2 Throttle monkey achievements and have gotten very close to both of them, I'm #10 on Deluxe Throttle monkey classic, and mission the Clockstopper, and the Platinum. Amazingly tough game, but fun too. word of advice, play throttle monkey for a few hours straight and you find that you'll get a lot better at this game and your reaction speed will greatly increase. Thats what I did and the achievements started pilling in. Edited October 10, 2008 by MegaManMasterer forgot something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun_carl Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 OMG! I can remember when i first played the game it was so much easier then, I thought that it would be like that :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negative1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 got this game a few weeks. by the way, i played this in the arcades originally, but was never very good at it. it's a lot easier playing it now. the xbox 360 version is a port of the game, and not an original simulation of the game, like the one in gameroom, or on official atari compilations. yes, some achievements are very hard. like the 99,990 and 250k ones. the rest are possible. i have 6 of the 12 already. ---------------------------------------------- the easiest ones are these: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/334/+FZZXw==.jpg Ruthless 10 Destroy 10 Saucers without letting any escape Asteroids - Normal difficulty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on the first board, break down the big asteroids until there are only 1 or 2 left, if at all possible make sure they are slow moving ones. When you break down the asteroids, some will be moving at much faster pace than others. Then you can start doing the saucer 'hunting'. Basically, you can do it 2 ways. 1) stay in place, and shoot saucers as the come out, moving if their shot is about to hit you. they come out in predictable patterns, learn them. 2) fly vertically up and down on the screen, and shoot the saucers as they come out. of course AVOID shooting the small asteroids, which shouldn't be too hard as there are only 1 or 2 of them. good article here: ----------------- http://web.archive.org/web/20071222160202/http://www.gamearchive.com/General/Articles/ClassicNews/1981/Esquire2-81-pg63.htm good tips here: -------------- http://atariage.com/forums/topic/198665-help-with-asteroids-1979/ avoid using the hyperspace button, as you have a 1 in 5 (20%) of dying, unless it's a last resort. later -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
