For those that love the 1960’s television show and the movie, The Addams Family is an adventurous platform game based on the famous series. The game begins as an evil lawyer plots to steal the family’s fortune and forces the Addams family from their home. This single player game allows the player to control Gomez as he runs and jumps through various levels filled with enemies in search of his missing family and to save the family fortune. Gomez uses his bow and some arrows, along with several power-ups like health and free lives to combat monsters and dodge traps. In the end, the player, as Gomez, faces Tully Alford - the backstabbing lawyer. The developer and publisher of The Addams Family is Ocean of America, Inc. Distributers of the game were GTI and the game released in 1991.
Game Reviews
Six video games released from 1989 to 1994 were based on The Addams Family. Fester's Quest (1989) was a top-down shooter that featured Uncle Fester. The Addams Family platformer was released for Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, with later ports for Sega Genesis (based on the Super NES version), Master System and Game Gear (both based on the NES version but with different graphics), TurboGrafx-CD (developed separately) and ZX Spectrum; these games, released by Ocean Software (Flying Edge in the case of the Sega consoles ports) (ICOM Simulations for the TurboGrafx-CD version), these were based on the first movie rather than the TV series or cartoons. The games' sequel, The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (1993), also by Ocean Software was based on the ABC animated series, and was released for Super NES, NES and Game Boy (although the latter two were just 8-bit remakes of the first SNES game, swapping Pugsley and Gomez's roles). Addams Family Values (1994) by Ocean was based on the movie's sequel and returned to the style of gameplay seen in the original Fester's Quest.
A Game Boy Color game was released in the 1990s for promotion of "The New Addams Family." The game was simply titled, "The New Addams Family Series."
A pinball game by Midway (under the Bally label) was released in 1992 shortly after the movie. It broke previous sales records by selling over 20,000 units.
Meet the famous characters from 60's series - Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Granny, Lurch and Gomez! Tully Afford the attorney evicted them from their mansion. As Gomez, you have to fight hideous monsters and flying utensils, avoid traps and find your lost family.
This game was released in 1992 by Ocean. It's pretty slow and easy, but way too long. There's timer in this game, though. Jumping on platforms is annoying and there's only one song in the entire game. You have to find all keys to unlock all doors; this is the only way to gather all the family members. Think about it like it's puzzle. Graphics is lovely and funny. You can collect items and potions to survive. Your only weapon is your own body - you have to jump on your enemy to terminate it.
