Most-played The Addams Family games
The Addams Family
Sega GenesisPlatformer
The Addams Family is a side-scrolling action platformer developed and published by Ocean Software for the Sega Genesis in 1992. It puts the player in control of Gomez Addams, who must search a sprawling mansion and surrounding areas after members of his family disappear. The game combines traditional platforming with open-ended exploration, enemy encounters, hazards, and secret passages. Its presentation draws on the familiar Addams Family setting while using original game scenarios rather than simply replaying scenes from a film. Reception was mixed: reviewers often appreciated the large world and atmosphere, but criticized uneven difficulty, awkward collision detection, and limited guidance. The Genesis version is generally remembered as a challenging licensed platform game with a distinctly nonlinear structure.
Addams Family Values
Super Nintendo (SNES)Action RPG
Addams Family Values is a top-down action role-playing adventure developed and published by Ocean Software for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. The game is based on the Addams Family film sequel of the same name, but presents its own exploration-focused interpretation of the setting. Players control Gomez Addams as he searches for kidnapped members of his family through mansions, gardens, underground areas, and other dangerous locations. Its play style combines maze exploration, combat, item collection, simple puzzles, and light role-playing progression. Gomez gains equipment and useful objects that open new routes or improve his ability to survive. Reception was generally favorable compared with earlier Addams Family games, particularly for its overhead viewpoint and more structured adventure design, although its difficulty and occasional repetition were also noted.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
