What Went Wrong With The Goonies Video Game?

The Goonies is a fantastic movie, and a cult classic. So why did the Goonies 2 game on the NES end up so unheard of, and such a pile of crap?

    there's actually a patch that adds a 2 player mode for the main game, I've tried playing it on a real NES and it actually works, but even without that hack I still prefer the NES version because the gameplay is so much better, the fighting in the SMS just doesn't feel right cause the stun frames are so short

    Oh god, doom was a joke nobody had that everybody played doom but they played it on the pc. Some people never paid for the last two levels and just played the first world but the snes release was just a cash in not a real release. Demon’s Crest pushed the console way beyond what people thought was possible and was one of the games that kept selling it into the n64s lifespan.

    1:30 I think it was actually developed by there guys. They had an artist and a programmer at first. The lead programmer worked on the engine at first and but also wrote a scripting language(called the Scumm System) for the game so they wouldn't have to write the whole thing in assembly. After he got the Scumm system working they would bring on another programming to do most of the scripting using the scumm language, while the original programmer kept working on the engine and the scumm system itself.

    In my mind this is actually part of the Mana series, and there are only 3 games in it. Crystalis > Secret of Mana > Chrono Trigger (in chronological order). Hero with a holy sword? check. Evil empire? check. 4heavenly kings/generals? check. Magic and technology? check. Flying fortress of doom? check. It just isn't the same without some combination of the above tropes. This is why other Mana games tend to miss the mark in terms of nostalgia.

    @8:51 Lucasfilm censored several elements of the original game. However, Nintendo of America had its own censorship system and did not approve of the game the way it was ported over initially and ordered several changes before they approved and manufactureed the game. However, after manufacturing 250,000 cartridges, Nintendo noticed the microwavable hamster and Jaleco/Lucasfilm had to remove it from any future orders of cartridges. This wasnt a big deal in North America because they never needed to order any more cartridges, but they still needed to place orders for the European market (no microwavable hamster in Europe).

    It's kinda funny to hear the final verdict be that with a little more effort they could have had something really good, because it sounds like a lack of effort was absolutely NOT the problem here. A surplus of effort leading to a ton of extra modes and advanced things like first person perspective mazes on the NES, but where no element is polished enough to be well-done fun though, that soubds like the issue. Still, if it all ends with me being impressed that they managed to get all this in one cart, I guess gambling on more but less-refined content is a pretty good gamble in the end.
