Play Addams Family, The (Japan) Online

Ocean Software released The Addams Family for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. It was one of many licensed platformers of the era, though it stood out for its source material and visual style. The game captures the quirky, gothic look of the Addams Family universe without leaning too heavily on jump scares or horror.

You control Gomez Addams, navigating the family mansion room by room. Your goal is to rescue family members scattered throughout the house, each trapped in a different area. You jump across chandeliers, avoid traps like spike pits and falling bricks, and collect items such as money bags and power-ups. The pacing is methodical; you explore each screen carefully, often backtracking to use new abilities or items. It feels like a lighthearted puzzle wrapped in a spooky theme, with just enough challenge to keep you moving forward without frustration. Playing it gives a sense of playful exploration in a familiar, oddball setting.
