Hero achievement glitched?

[wheresurh3ad]

I was playing astroids deluxe and I had 4 lives and got nothing? I know i had 4 lives because I didnt die a single time and then i hit 10,000 and nothing came up but it showed I had 4 lives? So i continued playing thinking it will give me the achievement when i lost all my lives but still ended up with nothing!! Anyone else had problems with that one? I was playing offline but dont think that should have anything to do with it.

I have done it 3 times now!! goddamnit, its on normal, I didnt change any of the settings and still nothing.

You have to have 4 lives "in hand"


Meaning 4 extras plus the one you are playing with...so you will need at least 20,000 points ;)

[EldritchSS]

Yes, that is how I understood it also, 20k points needed. I got past 10k points several times on my first life, with no achievement. The stupid spaceships have pinpoint accuracy with their shots, its frustrating.

[wheresurh3ad]

Thats weird because isnt asteroids the same because i scored 10,000 in asteroids and got the 4 lives on hand achievement. Asteroids Deluxe you have to score 20,000?

[EldritchSS]

If you look at the pictures of the two achievements in the achievement list here on a360p, in asteroids you can see there are 4 ships in the picture and in deluxe there are 5. Maybe the wording is off, or maybe in deluxe you start with less men? I am not in front of my console to check right now but it looks like you need to get 20,000.

[wheresurh3ad]

ok but it shows you when you start a game on asteroids deluxe u already have 3 guys and then i scored 10,000 several times and had 4 lives???

[EldritchSS]

maybe you could call it a glitch, because it seems that you need 5 lives not 4. I'll let you know if it unlocks when I do it :)

[spinky]

It does indeed unlock at 5 lives - finally managed it! It does not unlock if you die at 19990 and pass the 20k by smashing into a rock. I found this out the hard way.

Is anyone ever going to get Clockstoppers or 250K? I'm not sure whether to even try for the Throttle Monkey ones, although I see some people have at least got those.

[ScuzzyB]

I just feel stupid for all the cursing and screaming at my tv, console, and clock for not giving me the three minute achv...then I saw I was playing the wrong version of the game! The Throttle Monkey ones do seem a bit difficult, and the clockstopper near impossible...when I checked this morning, my awesome 4k score had me in 45th place, with only the top 4 over 10k (I think the highest was 16k). Definitely a challenge.
