A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

No memes please.

Go to https://retroachievements.org/ for emulator. Check out games total players or https://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/ for inspiration and dont hesitate to play long time classics for selected consoles, handhelds.

Looking at my notes, maybe these could also be included:

Böbl (NES homebrew): little in terms of optionals, the only that I remember being collectible rubber ducks, which appear if you collected them at the end screen.
Dissidia 012 and FFVII Crisis Core (PSP): iirc both have but checking next.
Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island (PS2): has badges in a more common achievements sense.
The Simpsons Game (PS2, PSP, Wii): ~~iirc it had achievements but also checking next.~~ Main Menu > Extras > Clichés; I'd count since some can be rather challenging to unlock, and they're just a list proving you did their conditions.

Thanks for the list. For the moment I'm only interested into official licensed games for this topic. In the coming days I will probably dive into researching more to come up with something. I was thinking of Racing games, maybe sports or fighting games would be likely to have them. Or some classic collections with added bonus material and achievements. But ultimately, I don't remember ANY game from the old days doing that. Your list is definitely a good starting point.
