Goonies II
Hey you guuuyyyys!
I'll let the manual introduce this page

"Welcome to Slime City

They're back! Kookie old Ma Fratelli and her slime-ball sons have returned
to wreak havoc in your neighborhood. And this time they've not only kid-
napped your Goonie buddies, but your good friend, Annie the Mermaid, as
well. What a bunch of low lifes, this Fratelli Gang.

Now it's up to you, the last Goonie left, to save the day. But it won't be
easy. You'll have to be a quick thinker and a fast tracker to pull off this
mission - you'll have to be a regular Super Goonie to succeed! So good luck,
and good riddance to Ma, her boys, and all the scuzzy cohorts awaiting your
adventure into the Fratelli zone."

And thus you are launched into a world of seedy underground porno rings, and "scuzzy" family owned gangs. But where the fuck did the mermaid come from?

Like any NES game, it has plenty of poorly translated phrases, like ",OUCH, WHAT DO YOU DO," and ",WELCOME HERE. THIS IS WARP ZONE," (the whole game was capitalized). but the beauty of this game was its music, Cyndi Laupers 1985 soundtrack for Goonies, played on nintendo instruments personified being a kid in the 80s.

Altogether this is a great game, especially if you were a fan of the movie, and if you weren't, then screw you, you commie bastard.

I gotcha' now one eyed Willie!

Graphics-3/5 They're just standard NES
Sound-5/5 This is the best reason to play the game.
Movie to Game score-2.5/5 It captures the same attitude as the movie, but with none of the plot.
