The Addams Family as a shooter/RPG: good idea, frustrating execution. Difficult and punishing, lacking polish. Uncle Fester deserved better. For unconditional franchise fans only.

Collector interest

A top-down action title from Sunsoft, the European Fester's Quest sends Addams Family's Uncle Fester through haunted houses with a difficulty that stayed legendary among NES players. The PAL version had a more limited run than the American one, making the complete European cartridge noticeably harder to find. Its collector interest blends the Sunsoft signature, prized for a carefully made NES catalogue, with the relative scarcity tied to the title's European distribution.
