Seriously, this game is total shit. Games where the difficult level lies not in the platforming, enemy fights, or controls, but in knowing where to go and how to actually get there are total trashcans.
One of my favorite games back then. It took me weeks, if not months, to finish it - with all the hidden stuff and puzzles. And here it is reduced to mere minutes. Awesome.
The clues in this game are totally random. How did they expect anyone to beat it? I mean at one point a key literally appears out of thin air. How could anyone figure that out?
Awesome. I remember getting up before school in middle school to play this. Fun to watch. All of the nostalgia without the frustration that came from these old games.
I still own this game. Makes me want to dive in again. I remember my cousin beat this before I did when we were kids, after months and months, I was so mad.
8:49 It's weird how they did it but it's called Goonies 2 cause there was already a Goonies video game on the NES that came out in 1986 and this Goonies 2 came out a year later in 1987...so they had 2 games, hence the 2 part of it...but it is confusing cause they never made a 2nd movie...but went ahead and made another video game in the series...
The original Goonies game was only on the Famicom and Nintendo Vs. arcade. It looks pretty similar, but Goonies II is like an enhanced version of the game.
What if they made a Goonies sequel based on this video game? Obviously they'd have to tweak some of the basic story, like Mikey still being a kid. Maybe... "Years after One-Eyed Willy's ship 'The Inferno' sinks after sailing away at the end of the first film, a young mermaid (Annie) searches for treasures among the wreckage and finds Mikey's marbles that he abandoned in place of the jewels. She is able to detect trace Atlantean magic from them and, believing Mikey to be of Atlantis, grows legs, and takes to the world above to find him. Mikey and the remaining Goonies are given the arduous task of providing testimony against the Fratelli's at their parole hearings, following their encounter with them in One-Eyed Willy's tunnels in 1985. All of them, including Sloth, are able to effectively provide the parole board with enough evidence to have their parole rejected. An elderly Mama Fratelli has a stroke and is placed in a prison hospital. Her nephew and former Fratelli hitman, codenamed Pipsqueak, is order to make "un'ultima resistenza" (a last stand). Mama Fratelli gives Pipsqueak the doubloon from the first film, and then passes away. Both Annie and Pipsqueak are attempting to track down Mikey and the Goonies. A news report of the recent parole hearing leads them both to the Goon Docks, where Mikey, who never married, now cares for his father in his childhood home after his mother passed away. Mikey is approached by Annie and is initially brushed off as a reporter looking for a story. But when Annie reveals her supernatural form by dipping her toes in a nearby pool, she is quickly ushered inside..."
I think it is funny that these old adventure games that were supposed to take weeks or months to beat almost all have world records that are less that 20 minutes long.
I love this and cast it to my TV when I WFH. Arcus, how come you jump when you take a death in a pit? Isn't it faster to just walk off the edge? If you jump then at the point of the edge you are higher and it takes a split second extra. Or am I wrong?
Dude do you smoke bowls ? You are really good at so many games the expressions on your face are stern but fair. I would assume that you are aware that you are a handsome cowboy. Seriously though have you smoked alot of bowls in your life?
Never seen this game before. The look & feel reminds me of various other NES games. The underwater part looks & sounds like Crystalis, the buildings remind me of Friday the 13th, and the platforming is like generic NES.
Consider yourself LUCKY!!! POS game was always gone at the movie rental, and the 1 time I actually got it, none of us could get anywhere!! Still P'Od!!!
Goonies II is the weird combination of both the easiest and hardest NES games, depending on how you look at it. The platforming is easy and infinite continues in the same room. How many NES games give you that? But the obscure rooms and secrets ruin it all.
I think they did one of those Nintendo Power issues with maps and item locations for this game. Good luck beating this one without something like that. The game was a confusing mess playing it blind.
@Steve Fitz Yeah, but that's pretty much a cheat guide, like I was saying. I'm just saying I can't imagine a 7-11 year old kid beating this game without a guide.
I love retro games but so many of them have consistently horrible endings. I wish they would’ve tried just a little bit harder to give us something to look forward to at the end of the game
