They’re Creepy and their kooky; Mysterious and spooky; Their all together ookey, and they’re the only 60s sitcom to be made into a Game Boy Game. As a matter of fact, The Addams Family are so video game friendly that they've starred in 20 games for various Computers, Consoles and Game Boys! Heck, The Musters don’t even come close, having only put out two games, both for early 8-bit computers.
The Addams’ first got their gig in gaming in 1989 with Fester’s Quest for the Nintendo Entertainment System, over 22 years after the show went off the air. In the follwing two years The Addams Family feature film was a big hit in theaters, opening up a hoard of ghoulish delights to video game systems. That’s when the Family’s first hasndheld game for the Game Boy Classic was released, simply as The Addams Family, a disapointing test of patience and frustration. Two years later, when the exceptional Addams Family cartoon haunted Saturday Mornings, and their next Game Boy Classic title released, The Addams Family: Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt, an extremely creative platformer that captures the world of the Addams Family with fun and creative gameplay.
