In the original Game Boy version, the Addams Family presents itself with an entertaining jump & run game. Additionally it was released for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Game Gear, Genesis, NES, SNES and ZX Spectrum. The side-scrolling game is related to the film that was released in 1991 and was developed by Ocean Software in 1992.
The kidnapped Addams
Gomez Addams has to go looking for his family. The individual family members have disappeared inside the house. Gomez's job is to find and set everyone free.
The game
For the Game Boy, the graphics that the Addams Family offers are very good. The backgrounds could, however, be drawn more lovingly. The music is also very nicely composed. The level design is varied. They present themselves in 14 different levels. As locations you cross the family villa, a cemetery, the toy land and a refrigerator.
Weapons and opponents
With different weapons you go into the field against the opponents. Unfortunately, the individual weapons fail more often in defense. All kinds of enemies come towards you. The end bosses are appropriate in difficulty.
The gameplay
Your opponents are ghosts, bats and other monsters. If they touch you, energy will be withdrawn from you. If your energy is used up, you lose a life. A total of five are available here. On the way you will find items, such as potions, that support you. You can use them to transform yourself into a werewolf or a werewolf, for example.
The control
The control offers a downer. Gomez can be controlled a bit and shoots a little too slowly. The course of the monsters is sometimes unpredictable and difficult to see through. There are no traps on the floor.
Conclusion
Yes, the Addams Family plays like an adapted Super Mario game. The gameplay is very similar or almost identical. Even if it looks a bit like a copy, it's very entertaining and engaging. The game is not great, but it is good. It is definitely worth a look for jump & run fans.
