Gameplay

Based on the popular film franchise, Vs. The Goonies is a cooperative platform game released by Konami in late 1986 for two players. Taking control of Chunk and Data, players navigate scrolling environments filled with hazards and enemies inspired by the movie’s challenges—from booby traps to pursuing thugs. Utilizing an eight-way joystick and two buttons, you must run, jump, and strategically use items found throughout each level to overcome obstacles and progress toward a final goal. The game's design draws directly from Konami's earlier Famicom title, The Goonies. As the duo advances, they’ll encounter varied screen layouts within a resolution of 256 x 240 pixels and utilizing a palette of 64 colors—all managed by a Zetex N2A03 processor. Successfully cooperating to avoid pitfalls and defeat adversaries requires skillful coordination as you work together toward achieving high scores. The game’s technical specifications include a horizontal screen orientation and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, all powered by a central CPU running at approximately 1.79 MHz. The current high score for Vs. The Goonies stands at 504,820 points, held by Rac Carpana, demonstrating the game’s potential for skillful play and competitive challenge.
