Type: various
Language: English
Premise: Two very different games inspired by the popular live-action movies starring Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Cristopher Lloyd - both derived from the long-running comic strip created by Charles Addams for the New Yorker magazine.
Impressions: I'll keep it short and sweet - the good movie got the bad arcade game, and the bad movie got the good role-playing game. The third movie was so pathetic that it didn't get a game at all - but then again, it didn't have the late Raul Julia, either.
Variations: The Addams Family (1993, chan-style platformer in which Gomez must search the Addams estate for the lost family fortune)
Addams Family Values (1994, top-down adventure game in which Uncle Fester takes over the search for the missing baby Pubert, the newest member of the family - often referred to as Fester's Quest on the boards)
Recommended Emu: KGen 98
