If you’ve been playing Arcade Paradise you’ll know this is going to be a grind. Each game has several goals that can be found in the PDA/pause menu. Completing goals will increase the income received from that game, and many of them have their own achievements too. I highly recommend getting the assistant upgrade (automatic money collection) and the engineering upgrade (less breaking down) to optimize income while you play games. Don’t worry too much about the slowing time upgrade as you can continue playing indefinitely regardless of the 2am and business closing warnings.
Some have pointed out that games such as Table Football and Air Hockey have goals that can be completed using a 2nd controller. This should be the case for any goal on a multiplayer game that doesn't specify playing against an AI.
This list may vary by person but these are the games I found easiest to complete goals and unlock this achievement:
- Attack Vector
- Blobs From Space
- Bugai
- Championship Darts
- Graffiti Ballz
- Gravichase
- Hustler
- Jukebox
- Meteor Madness
- Slime Pipes
- Space Race Simulator
- Thump-A-Gopher
- UFO Assault
- Video Air Hockey
- Vostok 2093
- Woodgal Jr
- Woodguy Golf
- Zombat 2

How can you find graffiti ballz easy to get all goals?
The game is frustrating and absolutely a joke do you really expect people to merge two white balls

Personal preference I suppose, I thought it was fun and reasonably challenging.

graffiti ballz is very easy :
Just launch 2 balls every time so grey balls will become red at the start and the paint level will not decrease as much as single launch

Anyone knows how to summon Woodguy in Attack Vector?
By Serafin82 on 09 Jul 2023 13:50
@Serafin82 - The achievement itself explains how to do so, but you have to spin your turret around to the right lots of times and he will appear.

Does anyone know if the dlc games count for this?
By Demoneydsniper on 13 Jul 2023 07:56
No it does not appear the DLC games count on the achievement. I have 16 but 2 of them are DLC

I have a hard time believing that anyone had an “easy” time with gravichase. It’s by far the hardest game in the arcade. Second hardest would be line terror.

I'd say Cyber Dance is over looked a little if you are decent at rhythm games it's pretty easy. Gravichase was the 15th game which I was struggling with then out of the blue got a run of 127 which finished the machine goals and the achievement for 66 on it.

I'll add to this that some goals can be gained in multiplayer using more than one controller.
Today I tried it out on Table Football. Using a second controller left idle, I was able to get the goal for winning without conceding
However the win three games still has to be done against the AI.
There might be more out there that are easier with extra controllers

Well I have now completed all to do lists for 18 games and still no achievements…..add this to the racer chaser, and two story related achievements that won’t pop no matter what I do as far as trying to trigger the sync.
By RoguShijin on 05 Aug 2023 19:59
Such a disappointment as far as 100 percent completion not being able to happen for me.
By RoguShijin on 05 Aug 2023 20:04
Air Hockey can be done with two controllers, and there is a fast way to get the 25 Ricochet Goals and 10 Direct Goals if you are struggling.
Direct Goals - Move the secondary controller out of the way, and hit the "A" button to knock it into their goal.
Ricochet Goals - Once you have scored, P2 will have the puck. Using P2, just hit the "A" button and the puck will bounce back and forth between your mallets and then ricochet into P2's goal. This makes it go a lot quicker.
I also used 2 controllers for the Table Football, in order to get the "Score when both players are on match point" Goal.

I been trying to get the "no killing except the boss" goal on Vostok 2093 and it just wont pop... i stay off to the side not killing anything. and when the boss comes i avoid all the enemies and drive my ship into it wait for regen (cause im fully upgraded) and repeat killing the boss but it still wont pop x-x gonna keep trying. maybe im missing something?
EDIT! ****
Nvm. got it right after posting this cause of course i did... anyway. waited for the diagnol waves during boss and then just lazered it down. got it instantly.

I had no difficulty with getting 100 on Gravichase either, I do get that it's not to everyone's taste though.
Also Line Terror's "Pass Level 1" goal seems to be bugged for me. I've beaten the first level many times and it is still incomplete.
By Flopsy86 on 04 Mar 2024 04:44
As of 5/18/24, DLC machines counted for me.
By chmccarthy on 18 May 2024 22:02
Just to throw in my list for anyone wanting more ideas:
Attack vector
Bomb dudes
Bugai
Championship Darts
Graffiti Ballz
Line Terror
Racer Chaser
Stack Overflow
Thump-A-Gopher
UFO Assault
Video Air Hockey
Vostok 2093
Woodgal Jr
Woodguy Jr
Zombat 2
And don't listen to the comment above, Gravichase is another easy one to finish all the goals. I got to 145 before I intentionally failed, you only have to get to 100. "Hardest game in the arcade" sounds like a skill issue.

Ok, something strange happened to me when going for this. Apparently the game was ticking off the goals on the goals checklist but wasn't showing the "goal completed" prompt for a lot of them. And the achievement didn't unlock when I got to 15, 16 and even 17 fully completed machines.
So I checked the goals completed in the other settings bit where you can change the amount the game charges customers and the goals weren't completing here (due to the goal completed thing not occurring), it was still showing 2/4, 3/5, 1/3 etc.
So I had to jump on the machines again then quit out of them immediately to update this and the goals were then showing as 3/3, 4/4, 5/5 etc. and the achievement then unlocked once I did that for the machines that were missing this.
