Being a major film, The Goonies had a licensed video game to go with it. Konami made a platformer game, with some adventure elements for the Famicom and MSX. Although the actual connection to the movie was rather light. Mikey's fellow goonies are captured instead of traveling with him, and the Fratellis are basically individual Mooks instead of the family chasing the heroes. Then you have rats, bombs, and Mickey using a kick attack. It was still fun for a lot of people, and considered largely an aversion to The Problem with Licensed Games.

  • Being a major film, The Goonies had a licensed video game to go with it. Konami made a platformer game, with some adventure elements for the Famicom and MSX. Although the actual connection to the movie was rather light. Mikey's fellow goonies are captured instead of traveling with him, and the Fratellis are basically individual Mooks instead of the family chasing the heroes. Then you have rats, bombs, and Mickey using a kick attack. It was still fun for a lot of people, and considered largely an aversion to The Problem with Licensed Games. Then there was a sequel (The Goonies II: The Fratellis' Last Stand), which takes the platforming elements, but, like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, changes the levels to free roaming exploration (not to mention has elements not seen in the movie at all, like a mermaid to rescue). It's also considered a good game, but like that other game, suffers from some design flaws for being one of the first of the Metroidvania genre.
