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

The American Fester's Quest was widely distributed by Sunsoft in 1989, making it one of the most common NES cartridges in this batch and explaining a very low loose value. Collector interest therefore shifts to sealed copies, which are scarcer, and to its standing as a Sunsoft game with a memorable box. The steep difficulty and the Addams Family tie keep a cult notoriety that sustains demand on pristine examples rather than on the bare cartridge.
