HOW TO PLAY
Gomez must rescue all the members of his family from various locations within
the Addams Family house and the surrounding grounds.
You start outside the Addams Family house at the front door. You must work
your way around the house and the surrounding grounds of the family estate.
You acquire various items along your route that will assist you throughout the
game. These will enable you to negotiate areas that previously appeared to be
impassable.
The game is complete when Tully is defeated and all family members have been
rescued.
--[Page 7]--------------------------------------------------------------------
Potions
Pugsley has left Gomez potions in certain areas of the map, to assist you
during the game. These are as follows:
WOLFMAN POTION: This transforms Gomez into a superhuman Wolfman. This
enables him to travel more quickly and make large jumps while moving.
FRANKIE POTION: This transforms Gomez into a "levelheaded" invincible
character for 10 collisions with enemy creatures.
SEA MONSTER: This transforms Gomez into an amphibious creature that can swim
under water.
DRAC POTION: This transforms Gomez into a flying Vampire. To fly, press
BUTTON A repeatedly.
These potions last until Gomez loses a life (except in the case of the sea
monster).
--[Page 8]--------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy Hearts
These replenish Gomez's energy when collected. There are two types of hearts:
SMALL HEART: Increases Gomez's energy by one unit.
LARGE HEART: Increases Gomez's energy by two units.
Power Vials
These replenish the power of the weapon/item Gomez is currently using. To
replenish an item, select the item (by using select), then collect the vial.
There are two types of power vial:
TEST TUBE: Increases item power by a small amount.
FLASK: Increases item power by a large amount.
--[Page 9]--------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYING TIPS
- Experiment with all the items to find out what they can do, because you will
have to use the appropriate item to negotiate obstacles.
- There are a few secret surprises hidden in the game - a foolish move may
reveal a shortcut!
- Certain weapons may defeat creatures more efficiently than others.
- Certain baddies can be stunned by jumping on them; others need to be shot
with weapons.
