Is Goonies still worth playing in 2026?

An action platformer from Konami, Goonies has the band of heroes explore trapped underground passages to free their friends and find a treasure, in a loose adaptation of the film. The side scrolling progression, the key collecting and the hidden passages carry a snappy, charming adventure, backed by catchy music. Best known in Japan, the title marked the NES of its era. For someone nostalgic for the film or a fan of retro action platforming, the title keeps an endearing character and a direct fun.
