Konami's first take on the famous movie, in which an unnamed teenager must rescue the rest of the Goonies from the clutches of the Fratellis. While the Famicom version was only released in Japan, it did see a US exclusive arcade release on the PlayChoice-10 and the Nintendo Vs. System (aptly titled Vs. The Goonies).

Revisional Differences

Title Screen

Famicom	FDS

The FDS version updated the Konami logo and copyright date.

Stage 2

Famicom	FDS

In the Famicom version, the player begins Stage 2 by dropping down next to a jet stream. Since this could easily cause the player to be injured if no heat-resistant clothing had been obtained, the starting position was altered in the FDS version.
