Tough Trophy

  In this new series I am going to highlight my latest tough or very time-consuming trophy accomplishments.  I am always excited when I achieve tough online wins trophies.  NBA Jam On Fire Edition has one which requires at least 50 online wins and I got it today.  According to psnprofiles.com it is 1.8% ultra rare among players.  I got this game free from Playstation Plus and it is a lot of fun, I find myself wanting to come back to it quite a bit.  Now I am going to focus on the road trip campaign to see if I can get the 100% completion.  These rare achievements are what makes trophies so much fun to collect. 

 

Tough Trophy Achieved

   

     I finally had that great game that lasted long enough with enough score multipliers to get to 10x crystals.  Over 30 levels of play time to get this one as well, it took a while.

    The remainder of this game's trophies are time spent based goals except for one requiring blowing up all gems on the board in one move. 

   At a cost of nothing this game cannot be beat for the amount of game play spent and time wasting fun involved in its game play.  If I were to rate Treasures of Montezuma Blitz it is easily a solid 9 out of 10.  Over time I am sure I can achieve 100% trophies here. 

Trophy Visit - Super Stardust HD

     In the first of what will be an on-going series here I am going to revisit some of my trophies I have acquired through the years.  Up first is "Multiplier Hero" from Super Stardust HD, the first game to add-on trophy support when trophies were revealed in 2008.  This particular trophy though I didn't get until almost two years later from my initial dive back into this game for these early trophies.  This one is particularly tough to get as it requires a long sequence of not crashing and restarting your multiplier chain.  About 30 minutes of progressively more difficult gaming to achieve.

    The evening I achieved this trophy I didn't intend to go for this but rather kill some time before bed.  I noticed I was doing well holding my shield for some time nearing an 8x multiplier.  When I got to 9x I was getting nervous, I lost my shield so any stray asteroid would wreck this potential new gold trophy.  I couldn't believe how long it actually took to get to 10x when it happened but as soon as the trophy popped up on screen I crashed from the distraction of looking to upper-right.

 
    This goes along with how I collect trophies and is to not seek out trophies but rather obtain as I play.  Knowing what trophies are out there for the games I play is nearly always in the back of my head as I play, but I will rarely pinpoint out a specific trophy.
