About
The Goonies video game series includes the 1985 Datasoft adaptation for Atari and Commodore home computers, Konami's 1985 platformer for the Famicom/NES, and its prominent 1987 sequel, The Goonies II. These games follow the film's characters, primarily Mikey, as they rescue their friends and navigate dangerous, trap-filled underground caverns.
The franchise's gaming history spans multiple distinct adaptations across the 1980s. While early, obscure titles titled The Goonies (1982) and The Goonies (1984) predated the film's release, the official tie-ins began in earnest in 1985.
Datasoft's The Goonies [Atari & Commodore] (1985) featured cooperative puzzle-solving across eight screens based on movie scenes. Concurrently, Konami developed The Goonies (1985) for Japanese systems, which later saw a North American arcade release and a home port as The Goonies (1988) for the Famicom Disk System.
The console line peaked with The Goonies II (1987), which received a notable physical variant in North America known as The Goonies II [5 Screw] (1987), highly sought after by NES collectors for its early cartridge design. This sequel expanded gameplay by incorporating first-person adventure screens alongside side-scrolling action. Cyndi Lauper's theme song, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough," was famously adapted into a chiptune soundtrack across Konami's releases, cementing the series' pop-culture legacy.
