Tips

The shooting gallery game can easily be cheesed by using an explosive weapon like the Spray n' Pray to hit multiple moving targets at once.
For the hoop-shot basketball game, pick up the basketball manually using your interact key and crouch under the hoop, repeatedly dunking it up and down through the net to rack up thousands of points.
You need to redeem 100,000 Nuka-Cade tickets to unlock the "Eyes on the Prize" achievement/trophy.
