The Addams Family: Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
A playthrough of Ocean’s 1993 license-based platformer for the NES, The Addams Family: Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt.
Based on the then-current Addams Family cartoon, this is the sequel to Ocean’s original Addams Family game from 1991. However, unlike the SNES version of Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt ( ) this one is not an original work - rather, it is a heavily pruned remake of the first Addams Family SNES game ( ).
Thankfully, the gameplay here fares far better than the first NES game ( ), which nailed the presentation but was largely hampered by its shoddy physics and collision detection. Hits generally connect when you expect them too, Pugsley’s jump is usually fairly reliable. The level design has been scaled back considerably - some of the original stages have been cut back to just a room or two with a boss fight - but it’s all mechanically solid.
But are you ready for your eyes to bleed? Pugsley’s Scavenger Hunt is an embarrassingly paltry offering from an aesthetic standpoint, with no music in-game for most of its playtime, and a flat, single-color background in most areas instead of any attempt at detailed surroundings. It feels like they got the game play into shape and then, instead of properly finishing the game, they just shoved it out the door as soon as possible. At least the theme song came out pretty well.
Lazily thrown together assets and a competent platforming engine makes an oddly uneven game, but it does make for a playable one, however mediocre and ugly. If you want a good Addams Family game on the NES, go grab a copy of Fester’s Quest instead.
Seriously, there’s no comparison. Graphics, music, game play, thumb-abuse - it surpasses either of the Ocean Addams Family games in just about every way. Man, even if you hate the game, the soundtrack alone makes that one worthwhile. If you haven’t discovered that one yet, check it out here:
