Okay, so Uncle Fester's Quest for the NES is one of those weird licensed games that somehow doesn’t completely suck. You’re running around as Fester with this dinky little gun, blasting aliens (yeah, aliens—it’s bizarre) in a top-down adventure that kinda feels like a janky Zelda wannabe.

The enemies? They respawn the second you scroll the screen away and back—super annoying when you’re low on health. And that gun? Feels like you’re shooting spitballs at first. But here’s the thing: if you stick with it, grinding a bit for upgrades, the game actually has this weird charm. The music’s oddly catchy, and there’s something satisfying about watching Fester waddle through graveyards and sewers.

It’s not perfect, but for a licensed NES game, it could’ve been way worse. Just don’t go in expecting a masterpiece.
