The Name??

Well, There is an official release of The Goonies for the NES but it was released only in Japan. You could import them but you will need to find a Famicom to NES (60 pins to 72 pins) converter to make the cart fit. It was made available on Nintendo Playchoice 10 arcade but it wasn't popular.

Goonies II is the sequel to that game and the only one released in USA for the NES. I liked the game a lot, it's a large game with lots of puzzles and challenges to solve. In comparasion, the original Goonies game sucks.

hahaha...do you know how few people are actually willing to admit that they ever owned a Commodore 64?? Its crazy to realize that my dad still has a working one. I used to play games on it when I was little, but never anything about Goonies, despite the fact that I would have loved to. I was, and still am, a huge Goonies fan. I think the game we played the most was Archon (or however you spell that). I also think the last time I ever seriously played a console game was on my Grandpa's NES, (show's what a girl I am, that I just thought it was call the Original Nintendo until my bro told me the other day that it was called NES) I was a kick-butt Duck-hunt player for a 6 year old. But once again, we never played Goonies. With all the revival of old games happening for PC and the newer game consoles (I do know a bit more now, as I work at Family Video, and so, I see a lot of console games come through the store) I should think there'd be an interest in making a new updated Goonies game. I mean, now that it came to Dvd and all. Well, I don't have a clue why I'm posting about a video game, as the only ones I currently play are The Monkey Island Games and Myst Games, and a Puzz 3d game I actually, shock of all shocks, bought for myself, so I'll go now, haha

The Commodore 64 Goonies game was completely different from the Nintendo Goonies. The Goonies c64 game involved something like 8 stages based around the movie, where in each stage, 2 kids would have to solve a puzzle according to a clue from the "map". It was an awesome game at the time, at least we thought so. I remember on the first level you had to go up to the attic of the Fratelli's hideout and use the counterfeit money machine to make money rain out the window down onto Ma Fratelli to distract her as she tried to catch it all. Then your other buddy would break the water cooler in the basement to make a hole to escape down. And there was the tense moment where the buddy up in the attic would have to drop the last bill out the window and race it all the way down and also jump into the hole just before Ma Fratelli could catch him.

Anyway, the Goonies NES game was a standard side-scrolling game, where you are Mikey and there are bad guys and you get to the exit or something. (And then the Goonies II took the basic gameplay and graphics and used it for a much more fun and involved game.)

Somehow this is one of those wierd threads that still gets replies years after the original post. Anyway. I ddin't know there was a Goonies II arcade game. I remember teh Goonies for famicom being put in cabinets but how would a person play the goonies II in an arcade?

Ringfingers are like the back of car seats. You don't appreciate it untill it's not there.
