The Addams Family (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Arc Developments
Publisher: Flying Edge
Released: 1993

The Addams Family is an adventure title that's loosely based on the 1991 film of the same name.

+ Mansion is an absolute joy to navigate due to its themed rooms, and the fun platform challenges add to the game's variety.

+ Does a brilliant job of guiding players to their next objective and there's plenty of secret rooms to find hidden cash.

+ Unlike many games in the genre, the puzzles aren't obtuse and the solutions can be figured out by using logical methods.

+ Graphics are a nice step up from the NES version (1992) with more detailed sprites and amazing character portraits.

- Hit detection can often be wonky, causing you to fall through platforms or take damage despite landing on an enemy.

- A few of the Mansion's rooms contain instant hazards upon entering, which is a rather cheap way of draining your life bar.

- Doesn't take long for the credits to roll and one wonders if content was cut due to some padlocked doors never opening.
