Challenge Checklist

Post by Pixel_Outlaw »

I've been playing quite a bit of Retro Game Challenge (both the original and a translation of the 2nd)
In the game you essentially have to clear challenges to progress to the next section.

Would people be interested in posting their own challenges for others?
They don't necessarily all need to be "beat the game" or "get over 10,000 points".
Hopefully some can rely on hidden features and secrets or just fun/difficult to do things.

Let's have 3 categories (You can even have multiple within the same game if you like-it's all up to you)

Simple
ex: Recover a captured fighter in Galaga

Medium
ex: Defeat one of the level 1 bosses in Raiden by staying inside him.

Hard
ex: Uncover Nozawa in Star Soldier

Feel free to add your own and check off which ones you've cleared.
Not sure if people are interested but it's a great chance to breathe life into some classics and give you something additional to brag about.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.
