Episode 160: The Goonies

On this date, February 21, 1986, “The Goonies” video game was released for Nintendo’s Famicom (Family Computer); it was later ported and released on the computer (PC-8801, X1, MSX), for the arcade (VS. System, Playchoice-10), and the Famicom Disk System. The game was based on the film of the same name, which was released in the United States on June 7, 1985. It follows the adventures of one member of the Goonies trying to save the rest of the game while avoiding the Fratellis. Today, we’re celebrating the release of the game with (sadly) two original tracks and their covers and arrangements. Of course, we’ll get to hear that theme song from the movie, “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” Prepare to run through the restaurant, traverse the caverns, and finally reach the pirate ship to rescue the gang!
