This is a platform game based on the characters and settings from the movie (which, in turn, is based on the famous 1960's television series).

The game takes place towards the end of the movie: the Addams Family has been evicted from their Startseite by a court order issued by a backstabbing attorney (there's one for the books), Tully Alford. Even worse, the other Addamses: Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, Granny and Lurch have gone missing.

As Gomez, you must tour the Addams mansion in search of your lost family, battling out mysterious monsters and evading traps, and eventually face your nemesis, Tully.

An evil lawyer has thrown the Addams family out of their Startseite and is planning to take their fortune. However, the family (except for the depressed Gomez) returns to the Startseite to reason with the lawyer. When Gomez snaps out of his funk and finally arrives, his family is missing. You take control of the Addams' patriarch as he searches the house for his family and tries to save their fortune. He will have to run and jump through levels filled with enemies that will do whatever it takes to see that Gomez doesn't find his family. But thanks to his trusty bow and some arrows, disposing of any interference is a breeze. There are also several power-ups available that will help Gomez, including extra Gesundheit and free lives. It's up to you to help Gomez save his family and their Startseite.
