The Goonies II is an extremely underrated gem that will be appreciated by anyone who gives it a chance. It is an adventure game spiced with a little bit of dungeon crawler. The Cyndi Lauper tune really makes this game shine!

If there ever was a game that strongly deserved an update and re-release, it's The Goonies II. Correcting its flaws and enhancing some of its features might be worthwhile if Konami manages to keep the core gameplay the same. In the meantime, it's worth hunting down the cart if you enjoy adventure games or just want to get your 80's nostalgia on for a movie that is twenty years old.

I gave Goonies II the benefit of the doubt until I stumbled upon the slippery "ice" area, complete with walruses, Eskimos, and penguins! I sure as hell don't remember that from the film! Clearly the highlight of Goonies II is its excellent rendition of the movie's theme song "Goonie R Good Enough" (originally performed by Cyndi Lauper). It's catchy as hell, but sadly, this game is not good enough. Not even close.
