=== Video games ===
[[Datasoft]] produced a ''[[The Goonies (1985 video game)|Goonies]]'' video game for [[Commodore 64]], [[Atari 8-bit computers]], and [[Apple II]] in 1985, which was later ported to the [[ZX Spectrum]] and [[Amstrad CPC]] by [[U.S. Gold]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/goonies_|title=The Goonies for Amstrad CPC (1986)|publisher=[[MobyGames]]|access-date=6 November 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/goonies/goonies.htm | title=Hardcore Gaming 101: The Goonies | last=Kalata | first=Kurt | publisher=Hardcore Gaming 101 | access-date=November 6, 2012 | archive-date=September 11, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911134654/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/goonies/goonies.htm | url-status=dead}}</ref> This game features eight screens in which a player had to use two members of the Goonies group to solve puzzles and reach an exit to advance to the next stage. The screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film. A reference to the aforementioned "octopus scene" is included, as the seventh level.

In 1986, Japanese game developer [[Konami]] created two versions of ''The Goonies'' for the [[MSX]] (''[[The Goonies (MSX video game)|The Goonies]]'') in Japan and Europe, and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Family Computer]] (''[[The Goonies (Famicom video game)|The Goonies]]'')  in Japan.

''[[The Goonies II]]'' was also released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] (and its international counterpart, the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]). ''The Goonies II'' was 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'' has little to do with the film. In it, the Fratellis have kidnapped all the Goonies (except Mikey, whom the player guides) and have hidden them in cages across a terrain of caverns, mazes, and abandoned buildings. As Mikey, the player must rescue them all and ultimately free a mermaid named Annie.

Mikey was also a playable character in Konami's 1988 Famicom title ''[[Wai Wai World]]'', which included a Goonies-themed level.

In February 2007, [[DaimlerChrysler|Chrysler]]'s [[Jeep]] division sponsored ''The Goonies: Return to Astoria'', a [[Adobe Flash|Flash]]-based [[online game]] developed by [[Fuel Industries]]. The player's goal is to collect map pieces and doubloons, and then race the Fratellis to One-Eyed Willy's treasure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.returntoastoria.com |title=ReturnToAstoria.com |publisher=ReturnToAstoria.com |access-date=2009-07-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081219183349/http://www.returntoastoria.com/ |archive-date=December 19, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fuelindustries.com/casestudies/returntoastoria |title=Jeep presents ''The Goonies: Return To Astoria'' |publisher=Fuel Industries |access-date=2010-10-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101110164130/http://www.fuelindustries.com/casestudies/returntoastoria |archive-date=2010-11-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

A ''Goonies'' level pack for ''[[Lego Dimensions]]'' was released on May 9, 2017. The pack includes a constructible pirate ship, a skeleton organ, and a Sloth minifigure who is able to change into the other Goonies and unlocks a bonus level that adapts the plot of the film from the perspective of him and Chunk.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sarkar |first=Samit |url=http://www.polygon.com/2016/6/9/11893820/lego-dimensions-adding-goonies-sonic-adventure-time-in-upcoming |title=Lego Dimensions adding Goonies, Sonic, Adventure Time in upcoming expansions |website=Polygon |date=2016-06-09 |access-date=2016-12-21}}</ref>

The possibility of a film sequel has been confirmed and denied many times over the years by the original cast and crew.

On February 3, 2025, some of the cast reunited to celebrate Ke Huy Quan's imprint ceremony at TCL Chinese Theatres. Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and writer Chris Columbus were there to celebrate him receiving his star. Sean Astin didn't appear in photos, but was said to have arrived later to the ceremony. Later that day, Feldman, Cohen and Green joined Quan and Astin on the red carpet for their movie premiere of ''[[Love Hurts (2025 film)|Love Hurts]]''. Martha Plimpton was absent for both events for unknown reasons. Quan discussed reuniting with Astin on their film by saying "The day Sean arrived on set, I dropped everything and ran to give him a big hug. We're brothers for life because of that movie. When we finally shot our first scene together, I was transported back to 1985. All the cameras and everyone around us disappeared — it was just me and him. I was that kid again, remembering that exchange: 'Hey Data, where are you going?' 'I'm setting booty traps.' 'You mean booby traps.' To share the screen with him again after all these years is an amazing gift."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Chamlee |first1=Virgina |title=They're Back!
