Hey /tg/ what kind of system would you use to run an 80's style youth adventure type game. Been rewatching things like the Goonies, E.T., Monster Squad, Gremlins, return of the living dead 2 etc from my childhood and been checking out modern throwbacks like Super 8, Stranger things and the It remake. This shit is comfy and nostalgic as fuck and the idea of playing a game where you and some friends roam around your small town on bikes avoiding bullies, trying to convince or evade teachers and parents and fighting of monsters, aliens, whatever sounds pretty fun to me. I'm just having a hard time placing it in a system that would work well.
Also just share your favourite 80's adventure aesthetic.

Favourite 80's (movie) is ET, I'd love to run a game like that. Getting the parts for ET's communicator would be an easy plot hook.
Also looking through my favourite movies, I think Donnie Darko also totally counts even though it wasn't made in the 80's.
Flight of the Navigator
Kind of unrelated but I'll throw it out there: Men in Black would be really fun to run, too. Tremors. Close Encounters. Planet of the Apes. Godzilla/Kaiju etc. TRON.
