The action takes place in the sleepy seaside town of Cauldron Point - down in an area known as the Goon Docks. The Goonies are a group of local kids - Mikey, Brand, Mouth, Chunk and Data. One day they find an old treasure map in Mikey's attic. Data figures that this must be the fabulous hidden treasure of the notorious local pirate, One-Eyed Willy. The girls, Andy and Stef, join the other Goonies and the adventure begins. But the secret underground tunnels they are exploring are actually the hideout of the Fratelli Gang, and the Goonies are soon trapped! The Goonies have a powerful ally on their side, however, in the form of the huge and amiable Sloth.
When you play this game, you are Sloth.
Original was made by Konami in 1986. There were both NES and MSX version - this remake is based on the MSX version.

I lacked some interaction with the kids, but if isn't in the original game, then what are you going to do with a remake...

I remember another Goonie game in which the different Goonies had to interact to solve puzzles. I think that was the C64 game made by Datasoft in 1985...
But here we have a Goonie remake of the classic Konami game and it is quite good. Nice and colourful graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack which included several scores from the movie (at least I think so) and technically the game seems to be pretty flawless.
Game gets quite hard very soon, even when you play on an easy level (there are four difficulty modes), but that's ok as you get a password once you completed a stage and don't have to start from level 1 every time.
Just one thing that annoyed me a bit: Sometimes it's impossible to avoid the enemies as you collide with them just the moment you enter a screen.
But still a great remake!
