@TamTroll each location has hints to name games after the originals, the garage has the pong on the wall and the other 2 locations have posters on the walls.

How are you supposed to know about the "Easter egg" achievements, like making "Halo" and the like? Like how do you get the information of "oh, i need to do this" naturally?

i just got the "Halo" one, and that was only because i looked it up. All the "name a game X" achievements are listed as hidden for me, and the only visible achievement i don't have is the "unobtainium" one.

Thanks for the guide, some of it feel so obvious I could kick myself, while most of the hidden achievements are weird.

@Ocean Echo I managed to create Pong in the Garage without using a game engine with any random combination of type. I did noticed the game names are case sensitive even one character wrong and it doesn't trigger. First I called it "pong" and didn't trigger 2nd game I developed I called it "Pong" and it triggered :(

"Treasure Hunter
Create Pong in the garage!"

No! It doesn't work just like that. Probly needs to be done on some level. In lategame its no variant.

Its sad that i got an 11/10 before getting the 10/10 bc apparently an 11 doesnt count for the achievement :/

In fact topic/genre should not affect the triggering of the achievement...
