toryline

Tully Alford, the Addams Family attorney, has evicted the clan from their home (based towards the end of the movie) and to make matters worse, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Granny Addams and Lurch have gone missing. It is up to Gomez to find and save his family, defeat the confused Uncle Fester and face his ultimate goal of kicking Alford out of the Addams' rightful home.

Gameplay

The game is very open-ended, allowing the player to chose which areas to approach. Each area has an end where Gomez faces a boss and/or receives an item. Typically following this, a family member is rescued.
