9 Most Pointless Achievements In Video Game History

By Charlie Oldfield /

8. Press Start to Play - The Simpsons Game

Very little can be said about this achievement from The Simpsons Game, as it€™s pretty much there in its title. You press start, it pops up. That€™s it. Everyone who€™s ever played this game will have "won€™" the achievement, so it doesn€™t work in the same way as most (i.e. to separate one player from another in terms of their skill or how far they€™ve progressed). There is the possibility the trophy is actually an in-joke, as the description says: €œEasiest achievement... ever,€ a reference one of the many catchphrases from the television programme. If that€™s the case it does fit in with the general feel of the game - it€™s just a shame that feel is so tacky.
