Chain Monster complete!!!
I know hardly anyone plays this game anymore but I am so excited right now I had to post this! I have been struggling with the Chain Monster achievement for many months now and about ten minutes ago I finally got it. This was without a doubt the most difficult achievement that Ive gotten, and to anyone who had given up on it take it from me... It IS possible, with practice. I still can't believe I got it!!!

Re: Chain Monster complete!!!
Congratulations. That is one achievement to be very proud of.

I wish I had the patience (and skill) to get it when I played, but the aging brain kept letting me down.

Well done.

Re: Chain Monster complete!!!
Take it from me... It is possible. It can be done. When I started I could barely string together a five chain. I put in lots of practice and watched videos of the top players to learn some moves to keep the chain alive. Slowly I was able to consistently get double digit chains going. Then I learned to conserve the slow mo. Then I learned to be sure to keep the edges from building too high, as those are ordinarily the columns that get close to the top while you're chaining. Pretty soon I could get up to 16x chains consistently. It took me about 250-300 tries before I finally made it to 24, but damn it was worth it. Although at one point I got so frustrated I offered 2000 MS points to a few of the masters to get it for me lol.
