How to unlock the Medal Mad achievement in Game Room - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires paid content.

Medals can only be earned in ranked play, and in games that you either own, are purchasing sessions with using the 40 MS point option, or on games that your console is licensed to (i.e. Someone else bought that game on your console). Medals can NOT be earned in demo play, classic play, or if you are using tokens to play a friend's machine.

There are three medal varieties:
Point Buster : These medals are awarded when you reach certain score targets.
Survivalist : These medals are awarded for surviving a set amount of time in a single play.
Time Spender : These medals are awarded for cumulative game play.

Every game has a Time Spender medal. Note that Time Spender medals can be earned in ranked or classic play, and are cumulative between game sessions. Most games also have a Point Buster and Survivalist medal. Medals "upgrade" as you progress. What this means is that if you have a Bronze medal and suddenly earn a Silver medal, you only have a Silver Medal. This will only count as 1 medal. Bronze, silver, and gold medals all count.

A chart of which games have which medals available, and the goals that must be met to get those medals is posted here:

ok, here some math for you:

to reach level 20 you need 380 medal points (you start with level 1). if you count now all available medal-points you can reach until now, you become a total of 350.
(20 games with 3 medals each and 10 games with 10 medals each. 70 medals total X 5 points = 350.)
how can it be, that some people reach that impossible achievement NOW?

This achievment has been marked wrong. You need to be online to do this. Can't do ranked matches offline...

It is possible to unlock this offline because time spender medals can be earned outside of ranked play.

Here is a list of all the games that I used to finish the game really easily. It is full of alot of rentals that you can either turbo one of the unused buttons or hit start to continue the time.
If the timer stops counting be assured that it will still count for the gold. There is a timer at the top left of the screen that will tell you how long you have been playing for. You can verify how long each game will take here: http://www.tinyurl.com/GameRoomMedalChart

A good tip for rental games. Find out how many lives you have first (3-5) and then try to get the point buster medal. Stop at your last life and then do the turbo controller method as the game tends to freeze up and not let you play after 10 minutes, but still allows you to get the time spenders. This allowed me to get a few more point busters on the rentals you have listed with O (e.g., River Raid).

Decathlon is the exception. Do turbo first then play legit. I screwed around the first few events but still got 10 points (yes 10) away from gold after earning time spender. This should save people a few more msp. Everything helps.

If you own twenty games then this is not even close to the cheapest way of doing it. A useful list, yes, but the game can be maxed for under 2000M$ (or whatever the equivalent is since they were discontinued) if you focus on single plays.

Each cabinet has three medal types you can unlock: Point Buster, Survivalist and Time Spender. Simply obtain 20 medals of each of the three types to unlock this achievement.
