The Goonies

Product Information

It's summer in the small seaport town of Astoria and The Goonies are restless. Big developers threaten to take over the town. Then Mikey finds an old pirate map and the kids take off to find the loot that can save their neighborhood. But they never counted on skeletons with swords, a booby-trapped underground passage and the murderous ex-con, all of whom want the Goonies' head. A major turn-off for some would be the typos. This book isn't full of many, but would it of hurt to hire an editor? He places Tuesday the 27th and then states Monday was the 28th. Then, theres two or three word typos, but that didn't take much out of the book. But why was it fun? It was fun because it told the story of the movie and added just enough complexity to make it interesting but not bogged down in rules. It’s a family RPG in a Box.

Datasoft produced a Goonies video game for Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit family, and Apple II in 1985, which was later ported to the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC by U.S. Gold. [38] [39] This game features eight screens in which a player had to use two members of the Goonies group to solve puzzles and reach an exit to advance to the next stage. The screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film. A reference to the aforementioned "octopus scene" is included, as the seventh level.

Rummaging through the Walshes' attic, they come across a 1632 doubloon and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the treasure of legendary pirate "One-Eyed Willy", believed to be located somewhere nearby. Mikey considers One-Eyed Willy to be the original Goonie. Seeing the treasure as their last chance to save their homes, the kids overpower and bind Mikey's older brother Brand and make their way to an abandoned restaurant on the coast that coincides with the map. Brand soon follows alongside Andy, a cheerleader with a crush on him; and Stef, Andy's friend. the story told in first-person by Mikey (sadly, we miss the famous cop car chase where all of the main characters are introduced to the audience because of this) As the GM I could throw obstacles in their path and not feel like I was piling on them unfairly yet still create challenges that required them to strategize.

It was really enjoyable to read this and to experience added scenes + dialogue. From what I've researched, this was based off of their first script, so unsurprisingly, you will find that it's quite different enough from the film that you're getting a somewhat different experience.
