The Goonies is a 1985 puzzle-platformer by Datasoft, based on the Steven Spielberg–produced film. Two Goonies make their way through eight screens of booby-trapped caverns beneath the Fratellis' hideout, and every screen is a puzzle that needs both kids working together — one holds a door or works a lever while the other gets past. Clever single-screen design and teamwork-based puzzles made it one of the best-loved movie tie-ins on the Commodore 64.
Objective Get both Goonies to the exit on each screen. On the last screen, both must reach the treasure.
