The Guidebook helped me with so many games... Metroid, Zelda, Goonies, Kid Icarus... Nintendo Power as well. Still have them. Some are very worn! Can't tell you how much trouble my brother and I got into for calling Redmond WA. multiple times(long distance phone calls, remember those?) for the Nintendo hotline for help before the Guidebook.

My mom found this at a garage sale back in the late 80s. The label was missing, and someone had written "Goonies 2" on it in it's place. But I played it like crazy and beat it. I passed it on to a friend when I gave them my NES. Truly a classic.

Damn! I've been playing this game since '88 and I never knew you could throw the boomerang in multiple directions! I relied on the Official Nintendo Player's Guide to beat this game back in the day. Hell, I busted it out the last time I played this game on stream because I had completely forgotten where one item was. I have notes written in it from ten-year old me. Present me really appreciates that! Oh man, I have Wai Wai World. It kinda sucks. One thing worth mentioning is to pay attention to which way Mikey is facing in the corner of the first person sections. It's crucial to navigating between the front and back maps, and once you realize this, the game becomes a lot less disorienting. Great video, dude!

Yeah dude I just came about the boomerang thing by accident. I was trying to see if I could throw a bomb while jumping and when I did that combo of buttons in mid air it threw the boomerang in that direction. And it worked for any other direction I tried too. It was cool but I assumed others figured that out too lol. So cool you have your own notes in your guide from when you were a kid. Thanks as always for watching dude. Always enjoy your comments.

How to show a video game in a 1980s/early 1990s movie: 1 - Use prerecorded footage of your kid playing the game. 2 - Replace the audio with Atari 2600 sfx no matter what console is being played. 3 - Have the actor "playing" the game manhandle the controller like a confused monkey. Optional - Describe the game in a completely inaccurate manner by spewing out random, "gamer term" gibberish. Even if your film was specifically intended to revolve around video games and marketed to the gamer audience (looking at you 'The Wizard'). Strangely even a lot of modern movies continue to use this formula....

My brother and I were completely hooked on this game back in the day. He got it as a gift one year when I was around 8 years old, and we both tried our hardest to play through the whole thing, but kept hitting roadblocks in our progress. The funniest one (and my favorite memory of the game) revolves around that got-dang CANDLE. Nowhere in the game does it tell you to hit that old woman five times, and we were so fed up with not being able to progress without it that we began systematically going through every room and hitting every corner of the screen with every tool in our arsenal. When we reached that old woman, our patience had completely run out, so we just started hitting her over and over out of sheer frustration. You can imagine our laughter and bewilderment when she spit out the candle. That stupid candle-spitting woman made us paranoid about checking every corner of every game we played after that point, for a good number of years. Funny thing is, this actually HELPED us in games like Metal Gear or the Metroid series.

The reason the sound effects for pacman was used over goonies II in the movie my blue heaven I think is because the pac man sound effects are recognized more easily than goonies. sure we knew visually it was goonies II but not many people would but the pac man sound effects people can instantly recognize.

being a young child in the Philippines, we had a vcd player with nes emulator and i found Goonies 2 in the 300-in-1 nes games cd. it was in japanese, so the game gave me a language limitation. i played the game for 3 years always getting stuck on the violet cavern with a large chasm between platforms. it was fun, but i find the limitations frustrating. i left it unfinished for 6 years. then, we bought a new dvd player with a usb reader. i finally downloaded a nes rom of Goonies 2 in english and everything made sense after that. after two hours, i finally finished the game. what an underrated game! i replay this game once every two years just for nostalgia.

This is a personal thing, but I truly appreciate your extra bit of information including the other available Goonies games. I played a game at my grandmothers house almost 30 years ago, that I could never remember the name of, and have been trying to remember for many years. Since I was very young when I played it I also had no idea what game system I was playing on. Turns out that it was Goonies on the Commodore 64! Now I can track it down and play it again, all thanks to you! Thank you!

I owned this game on my NES, but I never understood it as a kid, because I got a lot of my NES games second-hand from a family member that owned a rental store, so I never had a manual. I had also never seen the Goonies movie, so the only nostalgia I have for this game is that it's a super difficult game about a movie I'd never seen- and I assumed the same as you, that it was a sequel to the movie. Fantastic video by the way! It definitely shed some light on a mysterious game from my childhood that I'd always wondered about!!

Goonies 1 was also released as a stand-alone arcade cabinet, so you could play it without worrying about the timer expiring because you paid for individual game credits instead of time (though I think you take more damage from enemies in that version than in the other versions, probably as a means of raking in more money because you were paying for credits instead of time so people could just pop in a few quarters and beat the game on only 1 or 2 credits if they’re good enough).

This was one of the games I got when I first got my NES. Surprisingly, I was able to get through it without having to use a guide. Not sure how I pulled that off, even discovering the candle trick on my own.

Love this game! Beaten it a few times and never realized the Hyper shoes could found elsewhere. I always thought that spot on the bridge was the only place you could get them.

Still amazes me I beat this game as a kid without a guide. Lots of hours thrown into it until I found my way. No mention of the fact that in a certain place, if you use the transceiver, you get a message from Simon Belmont?

The Play Choice machines were different for the time in that you paid after a timer went off. There was one at a cafe we would eat at late Saturday nights back in the day after my Daddy and the band would finish playin' for local folks. I would play Goonies 2 on it. I didn't know anyone that had the game on NES tho. Agreed that Friday nights rentin' 8 bit NES games was magic man. Also, the movie "Juice" had a cameo of the arcade version Street Fighter 1 in it. Although gamers could call it out it was inaccurate in the movie when Tupac chose one of the fighters you could not choose in reality to beat Steeles with. Thanks for the vid

I love the music by that composer! Life force is one of my absolute favorite 8 bit soundtracks. The Konami music team played in a progressive metal band in their off time with seriously awesome metal versions of their 8 bit tunes.

I used to own this game. Yet another game I remember I used to have that went bye bye when my mom let go of her locker when most of my old video games were inside. No seriously, that happened. I even used to have Megaman X 3 for the SNES which goes for $200 on ebay with just the kart.

My favorite memories about this game are the first time I played it at my cousin's house on 4th of July 1989 2 months after I got my own NES Power Set my mom bought for me because I had good grades in 5th grade and my 2nd favorite was when my mom's ex-boyfriend surprised me on New Years Day 1990 with a copy of Goonies 2 and Castlevania 1.

Back in the 80s, lots of films used Pac-Man sounds as generic 'computer' sounds. Also, I saw early NES commercials in which people held the game pad in funny ways.

Also, the original Goonies Famicom game was on Nintendo's Vs. System hardware as well under the title "Vs. The Goonies". Like with a lot of Vs. System arcade games (especially the other Konami ones), this one was harder. Mostly in at least the fact you took significantly more damage when hit than even the PlayChoice-10 version.
