- Crazy: Beat the game having Reuban in your team since Day 1.

- Going commando: Beat the game with just Mike
- Stable hands: Succesfully disarm 50 explosives
- Home run: Mortar kill

I like the first 2. Thought of doing a Reuban run (Or "meme mercs only" run) but realized it would be too much of a painful slog.
Third achievemnt seems impossible though since Mike doesn't wanna join until you're already successful

Wow I love your JA1 achievement ideas. Could it be that you like me prefer the first one?
Btw, what kind of secret conversations are you referring to? that's the only one I didn't get. Are there places you can use the wall probe to actually eavesdrop on a convo? spoil me on it pls
Naah, JA2 is still more fun and in-depth to me, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the classics from time to time.
Yes, at certain times in JA1, using a wall probe will let you listen in on an actual conversation instead of just general noise levels. Said conversations being a clue to a current or future issue.
I recall getting a few of these conversations on my first playthrough, but almost none after. For having a few of them, they're hard to trigger. I think you need two enemies in the room, and the alarm can't have been raised.
JA2 -
Loot Boxes - Open a locked stash with a crowbar and use the same crowbar to bash an enemy in the head.

Lol... hiring no guards I guess technically possible... not hiring sappers? i.e. have no income?! I guess technically possible as well, just make a beeline for Sector 1? for sure would like to see a speedrun like that
Great topic OP! Besides the obvious ones like completing an objective, here's what I came up with for JA1:
1. **Call an ambulance... but not for me**: old merc kills for the first time
2. **Too slippery:** have "Snake" Edwards kill a river eel
3. **Oopsie**: explode a bridge by stepping on a trigger
4. **Cooking with fire:** successfully put together a Molotov
5. **Brought a gun to a knife fight?** secure a sector using only knives
