I think it’s safe to say the 80s left behind some incredibly weird fads, fashions, and memorable hairstyles but one of the greatest legacy’s it did leave behind is a plethora of excellent movies including the Goonies for one.Micky, Chunk, Data, and Mouth were the four characters on a mission to find stolen treasure from the infamous One-Eyed Willie. Blueprint Gaming launched The Goonies branded slot back in 2018 and it fast became a hit with players. The gang is now back with a sequel The Goonies Return.
