    I loved Goonies II as well! I remember beating it a couple times on the original hardware back in the day! I really haven't played it since except last month I loaded it up on RetroPie and played it for a bit. I also loved those rooms you could walk around in:

      One of these days I really want to beat the Famicom predecessor. It has much more of an arcade simplicity to it, but it seems like a solid title.

        Games that really come to mind here are arcade games because you had to pay for them and cash was pretty limited when i was a teen. You'd never continue so pretty much came down to completing a game in one credit (love the fact they were geared this way too with extra men at certain scores and in Wonderboy there were certain spots in each level that you threw a hammer it'd reveal the developers initials then an extra man (E S C extra, and so on).
        One that really comes to mind is Wonderboy, you could play for ages on one credit but never did get to the end. That said completed Wonderboy in Monsterland, Forrest Wardener, (street fighter 2 of course) and thats about it i think. Never got to the end of Shinobi also, came damn close though i reckon.
        Not sure if everyone else found it but Ghosts and Goblins was pretty damn hard to get far on a single credit.

        Good times, great memories.

          @mediamogul Nope, Goonies II was never beaten. I think most of the time spent I wired the NES to the stereo, because the soundtrack was awesome, especially in the "caves". I did beat Goonies for the C64 however...

            I always forget about that one. It's almost entirely different from the other Goonies games and really more authentic to the movie in just about every way.

              I remember the original Goonies game on the NES was pretty rare. Growing up, there was a local arcade that had a PlayChoice-10 with Goonies and that was the only time I got to play the game. It had a different "arcade" feel and at the time I thought the 2nd one was much better.

                The first game was actually only released on the Famicom, leading to much confusion outside the land of the rising sun about what the second game was supposed to represent. The cover art was so specific, utilizing actor likenesses from the movie that many believed it was somehow a forerunner to a theatrical sequel in the works. Eventually, I think a lot of people settled on the idea that it was just meant to be a companion piece for the 1985 movie.

                Although we had a few PlayChoice-10 machines scattered across my town, 'The Goonies' was never one of the available titles at the time. Many years later, I was at a bowling ally and decided to throw a few quarters in one and I happened to see it listed. I had long since accepted 'Goonies II' as being the only Nintendo game based on the movie and just assumed the "II" had been somehow left off the title screen. So, I was very surprised to find myself playing a prequel to one of my all-time favorite games. I do really like the arcade simplicity and straight forward play mechanics of the first game, but it's never been able to capture my interest like it's followup.

                          Ha! @lilbud , thanks for digging this topic. :-)
                          I posted above that I didn't beat Little Nemo but I managed to beat it a few weeks ago.

                          Well I think the next f*@$&ing hard game I'll try to beat will be Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3. Actually I finished the 1, but using save states compulsively. Then it doesn't count.

                                My soul rests, when I hear the PS1 boot music

                                  @lilbud with "using save states compulsively" I mean "saving after every hit I give on the last boss and loading if I die". This doesn't count. Saving the state to continue later is acceptable :-)

                                      @lilbud I remember the first computer I ever bought, It was a windows 95 machine and the first game i bought for it was Tomb Raider in 1996. That game was so awesome, it was next level in terms of graphics and game play, but at the time it was so hard! I remember doing puzzles where you had to jump from platform to platform, every jump i would make it across would save state, every animal I would kill, save state. Those were the days!

                                          The first computer I ever used was XP. By the time I could speak, the Gamecube was out.

                                          On save states. I usually save after levels or at checkpoints
