Addams Family platformer with mansion exploration and room-based puzzles. Awkward fixed camera and high difficulty. Gothic charm preserved, decent 8-bit execution.

Addams Family, The (Game Boy) price, value & rarity
This Japanese edition of Ocean's Addams Family platformer remains a scarce regional curiosity. The Addams brand had little traction in Japan, so the local release saw a limited run, making the Japanese version notably harder to find than its Western counterparts. The collecting angle lies in that distribution anomaly rather than in the game itself, drawing chiefly buyers who specialise in Japanese Game Boy releases built on Hollywood licences.
