Play Addams Family Online

Ocean Software released The Addams Family for the Game Boy in 1992, a time when licensed platformers were common on the handheld. It arrived alongside many other games trying to capture the look of the popular film, but this version had its own particular design. You control Gomez Addams, tasked with exploring the sprawling, haunted mansion to rescue your family members who have been scattered by the greedy Tully Alford.

You guide Gomez through the mansion room by room, jumping on platforms and avoiding traps like spikes and enemies. The main goal is to find and rescue Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, and the others. Key mechanics include searching for hidden switches to open new passages and collecting money bags to increase your score. The game can be quite difficult, with precise jumps required and enemies that respawn when you leave and re-enter a screen. Navigating the mansion's many identical-looking rooms requires a good memory. It feels like a slow, methodical hunt through a dangerous, unpredictable house.
