History

Henry Goodman founded Goody in 1907. Goodman immigrated to the United States from Hrytsiv, Ukraine. He and his sons started the business by selling Rhinestone-Studded hair combs out of a pushcart. The Goodman business quickly grew and by 1921 their growing variety of products were being sold in the Midwest and throughout the Northeast. The products were sold under the name H. Goodman and sons. A few years later their products were sold nationwide in national variety stores. The company’s growth was directly proportional to the increase in discount stores and shopping centers. As the styles changed throughout the years, so did the products sold by Goody. Goodman’s son, Abraham, went to New York University and earned a degree in accounting and served as president of the company for more than 50 years. He retired in 1977 and H. Goodman & Sons became known as Goody Products, Inc in 1980. The Newell Company acquired Goody Products in 1993.

Versions

The original game was released for Amstrad CPC, DOS, MSX and ZX Spectrum platforms.

A remake of the game for Linux titled "Goody The Remake" has been released by Coptron Game Studios in 2007. This version brings brand new graphics, music theme and sound effects, but keeps the gameplay and the atmosphere authentic.

There is a Goody version for mobile phones created by Exelweiss and published by eBrain Mobile in 2007. It's called "Goody Returns". This remake uses 2.5D graphics and so brings a new dimension in originally two-dimensional Goody world.
