hardly but probably good enough to make two
or they just farted them out so quickly and just swapped sprites.
wikipedia says:
Konami created two versions of The Goonies for the MSX (The Goonies) in Japan and Europe, and Family Computer (The Goonies) in Japan. The Goonies II was also released on the Famicom (and its international counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System ). The Goonies II was both released in North America, Europe and Australia, although the original was one of the NES games released as part of the Nintendo Vs. System arcade machine in the 1980s. The Goonies II had little to do with the film, but achieved a following for its inventive gameplay

achieved a following, eh?
okay i just youtubed it
here is the NES one i dont like too much (and im a NES fan boy)
and the MSX version looks really epic and makes me want to play it now (MSX emulator, anyone? never tried MSX)
looks like a lot fun especially since im currently playing L'ABBAYE DES MORTS

Both movies are awesome. I really like them both a lot but goonies is better I say.
Goonies is funnier and goofy - boy i always wanted to have that belt - while stand by me is more serious and kinda sad / more emotional than your fun kids flick. Seriously they both rule.
Also Justin bieber?????????
Eeeeew
I didn't even know what he was singing until I saw him on tv recently. I probably know nothing about music at all because I couldn't see what was supposed to be skilled about him. All I saw was that he is heavily overrated but that's about it.
The movie sucks. It's one of those "cult" movies that everyone says is really cool, but then if you actually watch it, it's total crap. It certainly can't compare with "Labyrinth" or "Never Ending Story". Didn't even know there was a game.
Justin Bieber's music isn't *that* bad, for what it is (teenie pop) - it's better than the shite that boy bands like Westlife spew out. He is however massively overrated, and a complete knob - I mean, he thinks he's better than Tom Brady. I find it hilarious that people are trying to make him out to be some kind of a bad boy.
^ I disagree with you. MasterM hit the nail on the head really.
Who can't appreciate the crazy asian asian kid that uses all sorts of contraptions to get himself out of bad situations and is actually good at playing his part? I mean come on
"I WAS SAVED BY MY PINCHERS OF POW" and "HUNDWEDS AND HUNDWEDS OF FIFTY DOLLA BEELS" are pretty amazing lines.
Goonies is meant to be goofy as hell and it certainly pulls it off. I seriously doubt I could sit through more than 2 seconds of labrynth. . . and Never Ending Story . . . seriously?! I'm trying to constrain my laughter and disgust.
Perhaps your attitude is just a little too serious for the Goonies.

You're comparing it to fantasy films. Its not a fantasy film. The Goonies is equally as good as Labyrinth or the Never Ending Story, in terms of quality.
What's more, you go on to say Justin Bieber's music is good for what it is, after slating the Goonies Oh dear.
I've got a 3rd virepoint on the Goonies film - i liked it alot as a kid, but have seen it so many times now i'm bored of it and not even nostalgia makes me want to watch it on t.v. again. I guess that's because i thought it was so good once that i watched it so many times and i still appreciate how well-made it was.
