PLAY RETRO 92: The Addams Family Games

from The FrogPants Studios Ultra Feed!

Throughout the late 80s and 90s, Beginning with "Fester's Quest" in 1989, players guided Uncle Fester through a top-down action-adventure on the NES to thwart an alien invasion. This was followed by "The Addams Family" in 1992, a side-scrolling platformer across multiple systems where Gomez searches for his missing family inside their mansion, after an unfortunate bout with their lawyer. Its sequel, "The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt" in 1993, pivots to Pugsley's perspective in another platformer, as he searches for presents for a scavenger hunt. That same year, "Addams Family Values" offered a top-down adventure, focusing on Uncle Fester saving baby Pubert. By 1994, and the arcade game "The New Addams Family Electric Shock Machine" offered a different kind of fun, where players literally got a mild electric shock. The video game adaptations served as quirky digital tributes to the beloved spooky family. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
