About Addams Family Values
Baby Pubert, the most recent addition to the Addams Family, has been abducted by Debbie Jellinski, his former nanny. As Uncle Fester it is your job to rescue little Pubert. You must search the surrounding areas (forests, swamps, gardens and the like) of Addams mansion, while avoiding traps, solving puzzles and killing monsters. You'll face such hellish creatures as vultures, gargoyles, bats, ghosts and ghouls. During your mission, you'll run into Gomez, Morticia, Lurch and other members of the Addams Family, who are on the grounds to lend advice and provide items. These items include a box of seeds for producing enemy-attacking mini bushes, black beetle cookies which give Fester a dose of ill-health (this is a good thing), stone marbles for turning attackers into rock, a bowling ball for hitting enemies and breaking through walls and a battery, which powers up Fester's standard Zzap attack. Within the seven levels of play, there are tons of other creatures to zap and items to find.

A European-only Mega Drive adventure that plays more like a Zelda-style puzzler than a platformer, and one of the pricier carts among the games Europe got without North America.
Addams Family Values is Ocean's adventure based on the second Addams Family film. On the Mega Drive it came out in Europe in May 1995 and nowhere else, so this page is about a European cartridge.
Mean Machines Sega previewed the conversion while it was still being built and described object-and-puzzle play in the vein of Landstalker and Zelda, with a design and graphics close to the Super NES game. Computer and Video Games said in May 1995 that the Sega version has fewer colors on screen than its Super NES sibling but is otherwise the same.
What the press said at the time
“It’s got everything a good RPG needs - a story that’s interesting AND funny, a massive play area and the total absence of all those boring battle scenes.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Mega Drive version was released in Europe only, while the Super NES game also came out in North America.
A Mean Machines Sega preview said the Mega Drive conversion kept an identical game design and near-identical graphics, despite the Super Nintendo's custom graphics facilities that Megadrive coders lacked.

- Super NES. Total! ranked the Super NES version 71st on its 1995 list of the top 100 SNES games.
Before you buy
Only the European cart exists, so that is the one to buy. Among games released in Europe but not North America it sits well above the middle, so expect to pay more than for a typical PAL-only cart. A complete copy means the case, the cartridge and the manual.
