The Goonies II is a 1987 action-adventure platformer released for the NES. Developed by Konami, the game follows Mikey on a quest to rescue his fellow Goonies and a mermaid named Annie from the clutches of the Fratelli family. It features a unique blend of gameplay styles, alternating between traditional side-scrolling action levels and first-person, point-and-click adventure rooms where players must search for clues, tools, and hidden passages.
How to play
Navigate the side-scrolling areas to fight enemies and locate doors leading to the adventure screens. In the first-person view, you can move between rooms, use items, and interact with the environment. For default browser controls, use the arrow keys to move, Z to attack or cancel, and X to jump or confirm selections. Enter acts as Start to pause or bring up the sub-screen.
Tips
- In the first-person adventure rooms, try hitting walls, ceilings, and floors with your fist or hammer to reveal hidden doors and items.
- Avoid attacking the friendly NPCs you meet, as hitting them will cause them to refuse to give you important hints or items.
- Search carefully for the boomerang and bombs; they are much more effective than your starting weapon against tougher enemies.
