I FORGOT HOW TO BEAT THIS STUPID GAME! The reason I am saying "Stupid" is because I used to be able to beat it without a problem. Now I am back to where I used to be of not knowing how to beat the damm game. I am such a stupid idiot now for forgeting that it's soo stupid. I should know how to beat the dam game! LOL
Never finished this but i also got replies from Nintendo Power personnel in the mail..we were obsessed..ha!I cant wait to see the end on here to close another video game void Ive always wondered about!!.
I finally beat the game...w/ NO cheats....I was determined...drew the maps on paper, described every room to a tee: where each ladder landed, what was in each room, where to punch/light each room....AND finally beat the game...it is now one of my fave's b/c it was so difficult!
games like this were designed vague and hard on purpose, not for the challenge to the hardcore gamer, but to make serious money off the official nintendo guides and help hot-line.
omg!!! when i was a kid i used to play this gamee and kind of hate it because i never understood what to do in the room i was like 5 years old, but know is in my heart it's a memory from oldschool stuff, like my first nintendo =) <3 duck hunt and the gun!!
So was the movie 'The Goonies' based on the video game, or vice versa?Because I could never understand how the game got a sequel if the movie didn't. (Please don't flame me--I'm really just curious)
Really? You couldn't just go to Wikipedia? Okay, fine.
The Goonies was a 1985 comedy adventure directed by 'Superman' director Richard Donner, with a screenplay by 'Home Alone' and 'Harry Potter' director Chris Columbus, who made the screenplay on a story idea by Stephen Spielberg. With a pedigree like that, the answer's obvious. Plus the first Goonies came was released in 1986.
The real question is why did Konami make a game based on the Goonies? It couldn't have done THAT well in Japan.
Wikipedia is NOT a concrete source for facts. People fuck with the data all the time. Remember when someone changed the date of Kennedy's assassination?
And I didn't ask about the FIRST Goonies. I asked if the movie was actually based on the game. So you never actually answered my question, you just listed the credits of the screenwriter (for reasons unexplained). No offense.
Well, I apologize, but trust me, the movie came before the game, that's common knowledge. I listed the credits to drive home the fact that such high-profile creators would most likely NOT be involved in an adaptation of a video game.
Never mind the fact that the video game has almost nothing to do with the movie.
And perhaps the most damning piece of evidence: when Konami re-released Konami WaiWai World onto mobile phones recently, they did not have the rights to two of the characters featured: Mikey Walsh from Goonies and King Kong from King Kong 2. If Konami had made the Goonies, they'd still have the rights today.
I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you. I'm just retarded and just assumed someone (like film studios)actually gave a shit about video-game to movies back then. Like it would have been cool to find out The Goonies was a game before a movie---that would have added to the mystique or something.
You were really sweet to do research (I'm a girl--that's why I say 'sweet' so much). Thank you :)
Heh, wow, damn near forgot about this after 2 months.
You're fine. If anything, I should be sorry (and am), because by god did I act like a 'jump down your throat at the slightest misconception'-type dick, and for that, I apologize.
Thanks for being such a good sport. Most wouldn't be so willing to turn the other cheek.
Why would Konami make a game based on the Goonies film? Money
As you noted, there was an NES game entitled Goonies released in 1986 Japan. Konami did seem to have basic rights to release a game. Perhaps there was some other licensing (use of Laupers music), or a production problem (couldnt hit their deadline) that prevented its release in the US. That would explain why there are so many copies in Japan.
Makes sense. Just seems like an unlikely license in my eyes, at least in how...un-Goonies like both games are, but maybe they just took as existing game engine and tacked on the necessary details to tie it to the film. Hell if I know.
Yeah, this game was a REALLY difficult one to beat. I think I had help from a Nintendo Power magazine!!! LOL (btw, there does exist a Goonies I on NES????) someone else on YT has a Goonies game which says it's the 1st one...
It was released "Only in Japan" as people say. It was released only on the famicon (Japanese version of the NES), which was availible to other countries than japan.
Anyway, point is, it wasn't released in the US, with the exception of an arcade version.
I hated this game so much when I was a kid, it was so difficult to figure out exactly what you needed to do on so many parts. you whippersnappers don't know what it was like getting stuck on a game with no internet for searching out tips. If Nintendo Power didn't give you tips and tricks for a game you were having problems with, and you didn't have any gaming prodigies as friends you were pretty much screwed.
I got this game at Funcoland and beat it because I still had a copy of The Official Nintendo Player's Guide. That thing told you everything you had to do to beat the game.
I think the engine to this game had to be in very close relationship to the first Ninja Turtles NES game.
Other than that, I remember borrowing this game from a friend when I was just a little kid and I didn't know about those rooms you could go into. I guess I never thought to try. The End.
P.S. If you hit the Chinaman repeatedly, he gives you a special item - a candle or a football helmet. It's been too long since I played this, so I don't remember which.
Ever hit the Chinaman with the hammer? "What you do?" As a 4 year old, I guess I expected him to shoot fireballs at me like the cave guys in Zelda. The obvious benefit of contemporary games like GTA is the ability to kill people you aren't supposed to kill.
I FORGOT HOW TO BEAT THIS STUPID GAME! The reason I am saying "Stupid" is because I used to be able to beat it without a problem. Now I am back to where I used to be of not knowing how to beat the damm game. I am such a stupid idiot now for forgeting that it's soo stupid. I should know how to beat the dam game! LOL
