!!The Addams Family (SNES Game)

The SNES ''Addams Family'', like the NES game, is a sprawler wherein Gomez must search the house and the grounds for his missing family, Wednesday, Pugsley, Granny, Fester, and Morticia. This one, however, is an entirely different game, featuring improved controls and an element of MercyInvincibility, plus special weapons and a password system. It was later ported to the Genesis, and received a heavily pared-down reskin on NES and Game Boy as ''The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt'', tied into the 1992 animated series.
* HatOfFlight: The fez item, with a tassel propeller.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The freezer.
* {{Snowlem}}: A giant snowman is the boss in the freezer.
* SprintShoes: An item that temporarily makes Gomez run a ''lot'' faster.
* WeaponizedBall: The golf balls, a throwing weapon.
* WickedWitch: A stereotypical witch is the boss holding Fester captive.

* CashGate: Probably the only reason you're collecting the various bills, money bags,gemstones and other baubles in the game. You must pass through the Treasury in order to get to the final room (Gomez's Room), and you need a solid ''one million dollars'' in order to continue. Oddly enough, the door ''will'' open for any amount... you just aren't able to go through it.

You'll have to have your wits about you, as you try to avoid the various perils befalling you as you try to rescue your beloved family.

* AWinnerIsYou: So, you've managed to make it through your death-trap of a mansion and bypass the various bewitched enemies. You've rescued all of your various relatives, restored your lost family fortune, and saved Morticia from an evil Gomez clone. How does the game celebrate all of your hard work? By announcing on a plain text screen that you've done just that! You're then treated to a "cutscene" of Gomez and Morticia 'dancing' outside the mansion to a 8-bit rendering of "The Blue Danube"... then it's a simple GAME OVER screen. The End!
* CashGate: Probably the only reason you're collecting the various bills, money bags,gemstones and other baubles in the game. You must pass through the Treasury in order to get to the final room (Gomez's Room), and you need a solid ''one million dollars'' in order to continue. Oddly enough, the door ''will'' open for any amount... you just aren't able to go through it.
* ContinuingIsPainful: Mostly averted here. Dying in a room or area doesn't cause you to lose your inventory, and will return you back to the starting point of that section. However, you will still lose a life.
* HellIsThatNoise: The sound effects in the game are lackluster at best, and you'll get used to hearing the sound effect when you take damage. But the icing on the cake is that the Addam's Family theme plays throughout the ''entire game'' ad infinitum... It's far more likely you'll quit the game due to it's frustrating design instead.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: Thing actually fills this role here, although you must retrieve it first. Once acquired, press Select and Thing will spin around you for a limited time defeating enemies, blocking damage ''and'' preventing obstacles from knocking you out of your area. However, Thing can only be summoned three times in total.
* NintendoHard: This game is a crowning example of early NES game difficulty. You start out with three lives, but you have a limited health bar that can only be restored by the rare [[Main/PowerUpFood cheese]] pickup. Enemies and objects ''constantly'' rush at you to cause CollisionDamage. The occasional BeefGate will block off areas before you can unlock them, and they will drain your life swiftly if touched. Additionally, there are a few obstacles that won't harm you at all, but they will cause you to fall from platforms, requiring you to backtrack and retrace your step once again.
* UnwinnableByMistake: Before you can access the final room where Morticia is held captive, you must first bypass a CashGate located in the Treasury. You can always go back and pick up more money if needed, but if you didn't happen collect enough of the falling bills on the Landing that one time, [[Main/RageQuit well...]]

This game is ONLY known as Fester's Quest. The cover, the advertisements, and the catalog entries are very clear on this. Additional words are added ONLY on the NES title screen, and even there, the title is just "Uncle Fester's Quest" with "Uncle" a quarter the size of the rest of the text, and the Addams Family logo that isn't a part of the title.
