This community is unofficial. Let me know if a developer of RetroAchievements wishes to have a Lemmy community.

RetroAchievements is a service that adds achievements to old games! From Gameboy to PlayStation 2 to the TurboGrafx-CD, regular and challenge achievement sets are available across myriad games and game hacks.

The achievement system is baked into specific emulators, and requires nothing more than the proper ROM or ISO and your user credentials to start earning.

A Nintendo DS port of the original Peggle games that includes the full content of the original Peggle and Peggle Nights as well as ten additional exclusive levels. The objective is to shoot balls down a board and clear all orange pegs without running out of balls. It features a two-player "Dual mode" and over 125 total levels across both games. This version provides the same enjoyable and addicting Peggle puzzle gameplay on handheld devices.

[Set Release] ~Hack~ Zelda II: Ocarina of Time (NES) (retroachievements.org)

Ages ago, the Ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the Sacred Realm. Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves, has Obtained the Triforce of Power and become the King of Evil. The power of the sages lies sleeping in six temples across Hyrule. The time has come for you to awaken as the Hero of Time!

This adaptation takes Link to familiar places and a few new ones. It is designed to be more difficult, more forgiving, and less linear than the vanilla game.

Hey!

I just want a community like this here. If anyone from the RA team ever wants to take over, I'd love to hand it off to y'all.

For those unfamiliar, RetroAchievements is a service that adds achievements to a ton of Retro games and game hacks. In fact, there's as of right now over 7,800 games and hacks with achievement sets, counting nearly 360,000 total achievements. The website also has an achievement score system that works into a total score for players, as well as a bunch of community features.

The project's FOSS, with components licensed under MIT and GPL-3.

I personally think this project is great because it gives me some reason to go back and replay games I've loved, and encourages me to play more of games that I think I'll love. My personal favourite systems with RA support are N64, SNES, PS1, PS2, GBA, and Nintendo DS.

I hope people find this community to their liking. Please let me know of any changes you want in how I do things around here, but until then I'll be doing all I can to contribute and create a community!
