Item Description

There is a lot of house to search in The Addams Family on the NES. You step into Gomez's pinstripes after Abigail Craven, the scheming villain of the 1991 film, has made off with Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday and Granny, and it is up to the head of the household to bring everyone home.

Rather than marching left to right, Ocean built the game around the mansion itself. The Hall of Stairs works as a hub, with the front entrance and six doorways leading to the kitchen, the games room, the portrait gallery and the grounds outside, and you are free to tackle them in any order. Gomez stomps enemies Mario-style and picks up a sword, a golf club that fires balls, speed shoes and a fez that spins like a helicopter. Thing pops out of boxes to offer clues, a giant bird lurks in the garden, and a hidden door leads to Pugsley's Den, a secret stash of goodies that rewards curious players. The NES version also has its own twist: Gomez must collect a full $1,000,000 to rescue Morticia, with passwords awarded after each boss and the Judge waiting at the end.

This is a different game from the better-known Super NES version, with a simple life bar instead of heart containers and its own level design, and critics at the time rated it below the 16-bit releases. Its appeal today is the license and the era: early-1990s Addams mania, a sprawling haunted house to map out, and a cartridge that belongs next to the film's other tie-ins on any shelf of macabre pop culture.

About the game

The Addams Family is a side-scrolling platformer based on the movie of the same name. The player takes the role of Gomez who searches for his missing family members. To find them he has to explore six different parts of the mansion, e.g. the woods, which are basic platform levels: the player moves from left to right while jumping a lot and avoiding enemies. Some of them can be dispatched of by a jump on their heads. The main difference to the other versions of this game is a unique level design. There is also a life meter which allows to get hit more often before dying.
