The Goonies II is a 1987 action-adventure platformer for the NES. Players control Mikey on a mission to rescue his friendsโthe Gooniesโand Annie the Mermaid from the villainous Fratelli family. The game uniquely blends non-linear, side-scrolling action sequences with first-person point-and-click adventure rooms where you explore, gather items, and interact with characters.
How to play
Navigate the interconnected map by defeating enemies, collecting tools, and using doors to travel between the front and back areas of the game world. In the browser, the standard NES controls apply: use the arrow keys to move, Z to jump, X to attack, and Enter to pause or access your subscreen.
Tips
- In the first-person rooms, try hitting the walls with your fist or a hammer to uncover hidden items, safes, or secret doors.
- The Magic Locator Device is essential for tracking down hidden Goonies across the large, confusing map.
- Keep a notepad handy to jot down your password and map your progress, as the game’s layout can be difficult to navigate from memory.
