Comedy · Fantasy · Horror · Sci-Fi

A top-down shooter with an identity crisis, its blend of action and exploration is its most defining trait. Players navigate a sprawling, interconnected map, blasting aliens with a limited arsenal while collecting upgrades and clues. The game's unforgiving difficulty and cryptic progression, however, mark it as a product of its time, a love-it-or-hate-it experience that still has a dedicated following.

About Fester's Quest

It's just a kidnapping. Of an entire day. By an alien UFO! Will Fester sit still for this? The quest begins. For starters, take on slime replicators, skeeters, globules and giant scorpions. Your health is at stake, not to mention your life! Will you whip the Alien Bosses or will they whip you? Lucky for you, this is a family affair. And what a family! Find your way to Thing and help is right at hand. In trouble? Just ring for Lurch. He'll give those aliens trouble with a capital "L". The fate of the whole city is in your hands, and we've saved the worst for last!
