The Goonies (or just Goonies) is a 1986 video game by Konami for the Nintendo Famicom based on the hit motion picture, The Goonies. It was released only in Japan and never made it on the Nintendo Entertainment System. However, it made it to some American arcades as Vs. The Goonies of the Nintendo Vs. Series and as a selection on the PlayChoice-10. The game was later re-released for the Famicom Disk System in 1988.
The main theme of the majority of the game levels was a simplified version of Cyndi Lauper's #10 Billboard hit, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough".
The game had a sequel released in 1987 called, The Goonies II. The sequel, unlike its predecessor, was released outside of Japan for the NES.
Although it was unreleased in the U.S., it remains a popular game for NES collectors.
[edit] Trivia
The theme Goonies 'R' Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper, featured in the beginning of the Famicom title and its sequel, was remixed by Mr. T for Pop n' Music 10, from Konami's Bemani Series. The theme retains its original 8-bit song from the NES with added drum and bass beats.
