80's Achievements

[Hand-E-Food]

Hi!

Jut for fun, I was thinking what achievements could you make for simple arcade games that were big in the early 80's? (Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Pong, Asteroids, Gauntlet, Galaga, Missile Control, ...)

Pick an old game and make an interesting achievement!

Pac-Man, Ghostbuster, Hard
Eat 16 ghosts in one level.

Pong, 8-Bit Beat Box, Easy
Keep the ball in play for 2 minutes.

"Berlin Wall- Survive a full round of space invaders after all the protective blocks are torn down."

It's 90s rather than 80s, but it's still retro. You know the opening of that Super Mario World level? The first level to the right, rather than the left. There's a bit right at the start where you can pick up a red shell, jump, and throw it straight into the path of about ten koopa troopers. If you hit all of them you get a 1-UP. I've always thought that should be accompanied by the welcoming 'blip' of an achievement.

I might be wrong but I think it was impossible to complete in it's original form due to several bugs.
