Beginning
This guide will show how to get the rarest "Against All Odds" achievement, without much hustle.
I advise you to finish the game on "Normal Mode" before attempting this method. Otherwise you still need to release dozen of games and "Generate Game Reports" to learn the best combos for games.

New Game
Start from creating a new save file making sure to select Pirate Mode and (Fast-Paced) 30 years game length. You want to enable Tips as well.
In "Company Name" and "Character Name" you can put whatever. Just make sure to name the games you are going to release otherwise you will face more negative reviews.
After creating a New Game, you want to go over to "Create New Game" and see if there are at least two game topics you are familiar with (released them in your previous save file and know the best combos for), if yes -- begin making games accordingly, making sure not to release two exact same-type games back-to-back. (e.g. Zombies - Action / Post-Apocalypse - Action).
Example of a Good Combo: Racing - Simulation / Zombies - Action.
You only need two of known topics to start the game.
So if you don't get it the first time, start a New Game and keep doing that until you get it.

The Method
Alright.
What you want to do now is to save the game just in case you mess up, so you don't have to reload and look for the topics / genres again. Having saved, release 2-3 Text-Based games for 10K each.
If you get the combos right, you should profit around 60k in total (2-3 games).
That should give you some Research Points and keep you still in the game without having to sell your company shares or take any loans.
If you get scores below 6.0 for the first 2 games, reload the game, and try another approach (another combo).
Having done that, you can now switch over to 2D Graphics. They cost more, but will give you more points on the scores which means more sales which leads to more profit. Now start releasing 2D games, til you get 50 RP.
Once you get 50 Research Points, you want to research "Custom Engine", and keep releasing games with known combos. If you happen to get moderate scores, and get a proposition to sell some of your company shares, do so. In my play-through i've sold 50% of the shares even before creating the Custom Game Engine.
After researching the game engine, and gathering some RP, you want to keep doing that til you are able to research "Copy Protection V1". Once you get it, save up ~150k cash, and start creating the Custom Game Engine. In my case, it costed around 120k, and left me with 25k of cash to create another game. While making a new game engine, you should only select:
- 2D Graphics V2
- Copy Protection V1
- And anything that is less than 10k to research, like "Level editor" etc. Just one or two of those.
Just remember, to keep ~30k of cash after creating the Game Engine.
Now release a New Game, with the New Engine and put everything in there.
This should allow you to create a 9.75 if not 10.0 game. And since you have used the Piracy Protection, you will get much more money from the sales. Approx 1,5 M.
Make sure not to release the same-exact game types / genres back to back. (See "Game History").
Now do this again, with different topic / genre, and rack up around 2,8-3M in cash.

Summary
Having released two successful games, and racking up ~3m from sales, you want to save the game, go to settings> Messages > Put everything on "Message Queue". This allows the game to run without any interruptions in the background.
All that is left, is to let the game run for around 1,5 - 2 real-time hours, and let it finish (31st year) on its own.
You may wanna switch to new office once it's almost over, for another achievement called "Statistical Anomaly" which basically needs you to reach Level 2 (Second Office) in Piracy Mode.
Explanation
I've calculated that you need ~3m to survive in first office in Fast Paced game mode. This comes from 8k per month (Garage) x 12 (1 year) x 31 (Game-Length).
Having played this game, i know that once you unlock new Game Engine and use it in game, you automatically get very high scores for your first 3-5 games. This guide teaches you the method how to put this information to use, and get the achievements.
If you do exactly as this guide says, this is going to be your end-result.

Don't hate me for this lazy method. I've tried for three days to even reach 3rd office but no luck, had to come up with another way to 100% the game.
