It probably helps that I wisely printed out a map of the game beforehand, but even then I still found myself lost quite a few times, having to reference GameFAQs to regain my bearings. A few tweaks here and there (and possibly the removal of the first person maze segments) and it could’ve been a classic alongside Metroid (which, in all honesty, also had its issues).

In the end, I’m glad I played it through to the end, though I have no desire to play it again. If they ever do make a sequel to the Goonies movie, they should totally base it on this game… maybe minus the topless underage mermaid, of course.

So Clark Kobayashi, maybe?
