Play New Addams Family Series, The (europe) (en,fr,de,es,it,pt) Online

I remember picking up The New Addams Family Series for the Game Boy Color back in the day. It was a 1992 release from Ocean Software, one of those many licensed games that tried to capture a cartoon's vibe on the small screen. This was when portable gaming was really finding its feet, and you could expect a certain kind of side scrolling adventure from these titles.

You control Gomez Addams, navigating through the family mansion which is filled with traps and secrets. The main goal is to rescue your family members who are scattered in different rooms. You move screen by screen, jumping over gaps and avoiding hazards like swinging axes or electrified floors. You use a sword to defeat the various ghosts and monsters that get in your way, and you collect keys to unlock new areas of the house. The game moves at a steady pace, but some of the platforming can be quite precise, making it a decent challenge. It feels like a straightforward exploration game where learning the layout of the mansion is half the battle.
