When I was 4 years old I went trick or treating. One house had no candy and gave me an nes cartridge that had the label ripped off of it. It turned out to be this game.
my all time favorite. My dad spent so many weeks trying to beat it when I was 5. He finally beat it and never played it again. I played it with him watching about 4 years ago. Did the boss glitch and he looked at me and left the room. LOL great times.
This is one of those games it seemed like everybody had a friend who had it. I must have played for hours and hours and hours several times and never got anywhere.
I use to absolutely love this game as a kid!!! My grandma got it for me for Christmas and this video just brought up ridiculous emotions!! Took me back to like 1989 6 years old!!
I swear, I watch these mostly because I love the relaxed way he hums along with BG music. Something about it being just a little off timing from the game makes it more endearing.
@@deceiver444 And when he sang “Mash, mash, mash, mash “ along with the tune at the one-minute mark I was cracking up 😂. I wish I was that chill when playing this frustrating game. Still find some enjoyment in it though.
Nice. I created a code for this that STARTED you at the ending. I mean you just put in the code, hit start, and the ending of the game starts! I did that for one other game too (Super C).
I don't understand how someone can be so calm playing this. I cursed all the way many, many times before I finally beat the game, and haven't touched it since :D
This is such a bizarre game. I remember being impressed by the commercials when I was little-- if you die you start all over? whoa! -- but I had NO idea who Fester was. The Addams Family movie hadn't come out yet, and the show wasn't being rerun on TV (at least where I lived). Who was the target audience for this?!
I know I'm outspoken on this, but I actually liked this game as a kid - but also back then you could only play what you were lucky to get at Christmas/Birthdays, so maybe it's a nostalgia thing. Couple of things. 1.) My compliments sir, I remember playing this for about 5 minutes before switching to the NES Advanced to take advantage of the turbo option so my right forearm wouldn't be aching with fatigue due to button smashing. So it's pretty impressive, for me anyway, seeing you complete this without any sort of turbo function. 2.) Had no idea about the boss glitches, which is pretty freakin sweet. Great video! Glad I found your channel.
I swear this game was intended to be Blaster Master 2 but they slapped the Addams Family into it. Sound effects, enemies, they're all similar to Blaster Master.
I beat this game before I knew that you could even get into The Addams family House so I beat this game with three life blocks and I used whip and gun on the final boss the first time I loved beating this game and I came across glitching out the bosses on accident like I'm sure everybody else did too eventually and fun fact if you die and are sent to the beginning all the bosses that you have beaten are already dead your stuff is automatically restored that you have used when you walk through the boss door it wasn't about to 4 years ago that I found out that you could warp using lurch that I didn't find out on my own and the red helmet guys that can eat through walls worst enemy ever in a video game lol especially when they piled up on you and I think this game paid a lot of homage to blaster master other strange thing about this game is there was no credits
This game was the bane of my existence back in the 80’s lol I don’t know what it was but I had the hardest time with it. Finally beat it a few years back. Thanks interwebz!
The biggest problem in this game is the weapons. Most of them have a good spread and deal damage - if you're in an open area and most of the time you're not. The spread of the weapons becomes your worst enemy when you're in an area that has limited space as the damn projectiles don't pass through the walls. You also don't know what weapon you get as all the power ups simply say "gun"
Sunsoft made such sick games. They took the Addams Family and made a stunningly weird creepy (when I was a kid anyway,) shooter out of fucking Uncle Fester. Blaster Mastet Overdrive was thier magnificent return in 2006 though.
I played this for many hours of my childhood. On my own, I never figured out that the vicegrips restored your speed, or that the buildings that go nowhere give you an extra health bar, until I saw gameplay on RU-vid. That key glitch on boss fights is a trip! Thanks for the nostalgia!
We had one of those 'claw' machine things where kids try (and almost always fail) to lift out a plush toy. It was disconnected and had nothing in it (other than some spiders) though. I'm not sure if it came with the rental or one of my mate's dickhead friends was using our yard for storage..
The thing that baffles me so much about this game is the artificial difficulty. If they'd have tweaked it even a little it would have been a much better game! The final boss takes 10 MINUTES TO KILL with a weak weapon forinstance!
I got this game as a kid and loved it. I found out recently the EU release fixed the issue with the gun bullets being blocked by objects. I was pissed!! Haha.
How am I 41 years old and never knew about the key glitch now I have to go buy a old Nintendo to play this game lol I still have the game in my safe lmao that how much I loved the game lol
I never liked how the gun upgrades made it more difficult sometimes with the walls blocking the advantages of the wider range. Bad design. But a fun enough game aside from that.
@Gary Hall I noticed after he covered that Gameboy Spiderman title. I'm not any kind of truly talented player, and I beat it on my second try when I was like ten. One of the easiest games I ever played. And he says he beat Ninja Gaiden..? It doesn't make much sense. I realized he just gets angry and swears at random games and there may or may not be any truth to anything he's saying. Just trying to recreate the success of his first videos. Personally I prefer it when he's just himself and says what he's really thinking.
another crap game that bought a brand name and plugged a blurry resemblance of said char. into a game that has absolutely nothing to do with the character. a gun? really? it could be a contra char. THis game might have been made BEFORE they bought fester lol. So Sad, they had an opportunity to make something great, I mean, fester is awesome, and he has weird friends. He gets up with his pals for a spooky mission would be great! An 8bit game needs storyline and there isn't any! THey could have put tons of cool stuff in there about monsters, why not find Bigfoot's lost shoe? ITs fester he could know any monster. JUst a lame, wasted opportunity for greed. I would never sell the rights to a beloved character without final appoval of the product. And this garbage would never have seen the light of day.
The 4th boss is such a shit. It plays a mean game with your homing rockets. You have ONLY enough for each shot to count. But your homing rockets can lock onto the projectiles it fires by accident. Waste one on these bullets....and I mean one rocket... and he's unkillable.
Funny how much the Angry video game nerd sucked at this game and yet this guy makes it look easy. The nerd just had no patience to play these games correctly.
Damn.. what a slaughter.. And I thought John Wick was non-stop action! :P The #MASH is intense with this one! Do you have a drawer full of spare A+B buttons and D-pads?! ;)
My weird uncle got me this game because he grew up watching The Addams Family even though I'd never heard of it. I hated this game, but it was just intriguing enough for me to dig it out once in a great while and have a go. I got pretty far but never beat it.
