Released for the Game Boy Color in 2002, The New Addams Family Series is an adventure game developed by 7th Sense and published by Microïds.

It landed about 4 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2002 include Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors, Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories and Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!.

It is part of the The Addams Family series. The series also appears on other systems with The Addams Family (SNES) and Fester's Quest (NES). 7th Sense also made The Fish Files for the GBC.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want fast action rather than puzzles and exploration
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing The New Addams Family Series is like

Adventure games focus on exploration, story and puzzle-solving rather than combat. Progress comes from examining your surroundings, collecting items and figuring out how they fit together.

Tip for newcomers: Classic adventure games can be cryptic by modern standards. Take notes, try everything on everything, and save before risky choices.
