One trick that I'm working on with 720 doing the downhill race is timing the landing with the direction the skater is turned when hitting the next ramp. I can consistently get a silver medal without jumping and staying on the "inside" of the turn into the next ramp. It's still extremely hard to pull off reliably though.

Surprisingly, getting the Gold Medal in 720 was easy for me. Didn't take but three or four attempts. Smash TV, however, is kicking my ass, which surprises me. I own it for the NES, and even downloaded it on the XBLA and have made it to the second and third level before, on my own. Can't even beat the first boss in this one. I'm sure I'll nail it before too long. Only have Smash TV, Joust II, Rampage and maybe one more achievement to get.


Now all I've got is Smash TV. I was on a roll today and knocked out 4 achievements in like 15 minutes. Surprised the hell out of me, especially the Joust 2. Went 2 and a half levels on my last life.

I personally have trouble with the "high roller" achievement in Marble Madness. I'm trying for hours now. You habe to beat the 2. Level (beginners course) in under 15 second. does anyone have a have a ti or hint for me? I cant even find youtube video guide. Maybe I am the only one having problem with this.

edit: I already had it. no wonder it didnt unlock. now I fell dumb.

Only achievements that have given me trouble are Smash TV (Just rusty and need some practice.. have gotten close after just three trys after several years away though), 720* (I think I need to give up on the downhill ramp and try something else... I've done it about 20 times with no issues yet it always changes to silver just as I cross the line), and Pit Fighter (Not a fighting game fan so this one has given me some trouble due to my inexperience).

If you're a classic gamer and are familiar with these games and other arcade games of the era, the vast majority of these achievements are extremely easy. Most I earned on my first try and those I didn't never needed more than a handful of attempts.

Edit - Shortly after posting this I earned the achievements for 720* and Pit Fighter. The trick with 720* with the downhill ramp event seems to be more than just not falling off your board like I've seen some state. You want to be on the inside edge at the end of each ramp even if it requires you to stop going straight down a ramp in order to get yourself lined up at the inside edge at the end of a ramp. Once I tried that, I earned it the first try after dozens of attempts where I'd never fall but would cross just as it went to silver

Pit Fighter seems easier at the third fight when you use the attack where you hit all three buttons. Throw stuff when it's safe to damage her and keep her at bay while keeping an eye out for the Power Pellet. Locate that and just keep hitting all three buttons and she'll die without giving you any trouble.

Smash TV is going to take more practice by me.

What I do is just hit the kick button at the start to move to select the training level without touching the stick. Then when the level starts, I spin the stick 360 degrees a couple of times.

That seems to correct the stick so the direction I push towards is actually the direction I'm moving towards.

Some hard ones, and some easy ones. This should be quick.

I tried the downhill event in 720 a few times but always came up silver and just short of gold. Tried the Ramp event and ended up with gold plus a bunch on my first try. Then went over to downhill and nailed a second gold easily. If you can't do the downhill, try the ramp.

This game has some great oldies in it! I need to buy this game.

I can't get the Toobin cheevo. I've not hit any obstacles and it won't pop. Can you not bump into anything?! You have to go thru those gates or the alligator comes for you. Between this, 720 and the 3 racing games... I'm done with this.
