The Goonies is a 1986 platform game developed and published by Konami for the Family Computer, based on the 1985 film of the same name. Konami also developed a completely different version for the MSX in Japan. First released on cartridge, it was later re-released in Disk System format in 1988.

Although the game was never sold in retail in North America, Nintendo published an arcade port in North America for the VS. System (a coin-operated platform which runs on the same hardware as the NES) under the title VS. The Goonies and it was also available as a PlayChoice-10 title in the region.

A sequel was released titled The Goonies II, which saw a worldwide retail release in 1987.

The main theme song for most of the game is a chiptune rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough".
