The Addams Family is a 1991 action-platformer developed by Ocean Software for the Sega Genesis. Based on the film of the same name, the game drops you into a sprawling, non-linear mansion as Gomez, who must explore its many dangerous rooms to rescue his missing family members.
How to play
Your objective is to search the mansion, defeat enemies by jumping on their heads, and locate the captive members of the Addams family. You can tackle the mansion’s rooms in almost any order, though some areas require specific items or rescued family members to access. Collect money and hidden 1UPs to increase your lives along the way.

Tips
- Explore thoroughly: The mansion is filled with false walls and hidden ceilings. Walk into suspect walls to find secret rooms that are packed with extra lives and cash.
- Use the Fez-Copter: Look for the fez item, which grants Gomez the ability to fly temporarily. It is essential for bypassing large pits and tricky platforming sections safely.
- Save your progress: Although the original game used a password system, you can use the browser’s save state feature to bookmark your progress before attempting difficult boss fights.
