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.

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.

    As for collections, I have two for the PS2, Atari Anthology and Sonic Mega Collection Plus. The Atari one I'd have to double check since I don't remember, but the Sonic one has at least unlockable (often non-Sonic-related) games by hidden conditions, so maybe that'd count? Though the condition is pretty simple, open a certain game or games an X number of times.

    Also just checked Dissidia 012 and Crisis Core. Dissidia 012 has an achievement system, Crisis Core doesn't seem to have one.

    For Dissidia 012, open the customizations menu with triangle with the character you want to check character-specific achievements, go to the right and open the first entry, Accomplishments.
