Developed by Ocean, Addams Family Values arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1995 as a role-playing game. It blends RPG and action elements.

It landed about 4 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1995 include Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

It is part of the The Addams Family series; on the SNES you can also try The Addams Family and The Addams Family: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt. The series also appears on other systems with Fester's Quest (NES) and Addams Family Values (Genesis). Ocean also made Worms, Mr. Nutz and Jurassic Park for the SNES.

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 an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Addams Family Values is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
