This is their second game on NES, The Goonies being released only for the Famicom system outside the United States.
You play Mikie, one of the gang members, whose friends have been kidnapped by the gang’s arch enemy – the Fratelli family.
Your buddies and Annie the Mermaid must be rescued, but it won’t be easy sneaking into the dark and creepy underground hideout where they are being held.
You must find a way to destroy their master computer and keep your friends from becoming road kill.
If Ma Fratelli or crazy Cousin Pipsqueak doesn’t stop you, one of her two crazy sons will! Upon starting the game, Mikie is armed only with a yo-yo and the ability to jump.
As the game progresses, he will find boomerangs, a gun, bombs, molotave cocktails and even scuba gear to help him.
Fight snakes, spiders, skeletons, man-eating fish while exploring the huge world full of cellars, secret caverns and elaborate mazes.
There is more than typical side-scrolling action, although there’s certainly a multitude of that.
Seventeen magic implements and many secret messages await you.
When Mikie enters a room he can talk to NPCs and try to find hidden items and doors by hitting the walls.
A password lets you keep your possessions for the next game.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks The Goonies II for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Goonies II to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.
