My dad was the manager at my local blockbuster which might make you think that I got to play all sorts of games but really what he did was take them home after a shift, play it over night, and then bring it right back before I actually got to play it.

The kid who lived across the street owned Fester's Quest and we pumped an unreasonable number of hours into it, mostly just farming in the sewers for gun upgrades.

At least one kid in every neighborhood had Fester's Quest. I think my mom bought the used copy from Action Video at my begging. I don't even think the Addams Family movie was out yet, something about that box art was just irresistible to kids Also the Nintendo Power made it look like a top-down Zelda game. I guess it kind of was, but every kid got owned.

i had the addams family movie nes game and i really liked it and was VERY disappointed when i later got festers quest, but i think we got it from a used game store for a dollar or two festers quest is a painful game for many kids of that era because it was probably the first they had where you could be a nitpick critic nerd and figure out whats wrong with it at like 8 years old and yell how it should be fixed

At the local YMCA they had a game room with some arcade machines and one of them was a Play Choice 10 or whatever with the SNES games and I remember watching the attract screens for Addam's Family and Fatal Fury Special over and over and over again as a kid.

When I was 8 I went to visit my family in Ireland and my cousins had the Addams Family game for SNES and it wasn't bad. I was fascinated by the PAL SNES design
