I've use RA for a few months now after getting into emulation, and I'd say it's become my favourite achievement system. Leaderboards, subsets for the more popular games, achievements for hacks and homebrews, a strong community, and bonus points for getting extremely rare achievements. Since this video was made, RA support has been extended to DuckStation, PCSX2, and I think Dolphin has only just started support. Dreamcast is also supported in RetroArch using the Flycast core.

RA has allowed me to get out of my comfort zone a bit when it comes to my security blanket type games and really clear out my backlog significantly. The achievement incentive gave me the extra push to finally play a game in my backlog I otherwise would have had an excuse to put off longer, or replay I game I've beaten once but probably would have never touched again. Even with familiar games, I found ways to play that I otherwise never would've considered.

Being a completionist I'm also very happy to have discovered RetroAchievements, this will be a really fun new experience for me.

You don’t even need to 100% them to enjoy RA tho, just like achievements for modern systems. I haven’t 100%’d a single game, but seeing my progress and occasionally attempting to get a harder one is still a lot of fun. Plus RA now tracks which games you’ve “beaten”, not 100%’d. So for example, on my profile it shows that I’ve beaten Pokemon Platinum, even if I haven’t 100%’d it. You’ll get a silver medal for beating the game traditionally, and a gold for 100%ing the achievements. So even without going the extra mile and 100%ing everything, you can still track all the games you’ve beaten and the achievements you’ve earned.
