This platformer on the SNES captured the macabre charm of the film with surprisingly robust level design. You'll guide Gomez through a mansion and beyond, utilizing a quirky arsenal of attacks like the "Thing" hand and a spring-loaded cane. The game's strength lies in its varied environments and the way it integrates the Addams Family's eccentric personalities into the core gameplay loop.

About The Addams Family

Details
The Addams Family's lawyer, Tully Alford, has taken control of their Gothic mansion and imprisoned Morticia Addams, Pugsley Addams, Wednesday Addams, Granny and Uncle Fester. The player controls Gomez Addams as he explores the various rooms in the mansion, locating items and battling monsters, until he has located all of the lost family members. The game has an almost completely open-world format, unusual for games of this era, which gives players the freedom to choose what order they will save the family members in. However, Gomez cannot save Morticia until the rest of the family is rescued.
