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.

enter the crypt, push up. To defeat the guardian, shoot it a number of times
in a certain spot. --[Page 13]-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Woods The woods are located to the right of the house. Make your way to
the far right, using a certain item that you will obtain during the game when
a particular member of the family has been rescued. The last tree stump on the
far right of the woods is the entrance to the beehive. Stand on top of this
stump and push down to enter. This level contains useful items to collect. The
Boiler Room This level is a maze of pipes that you must negotiate in order to
find the entrance to the room where a guardian is holding Granny captive. This
guardian can only be overcome by attacking when he stops moving. --[Page 14]-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ice Box This is a slippery ice kingdom, in which you must make your way
to the top right to collect a weapon to help you. You must negotiate icy cold
pools of water - one of the items you have collected will help you. The River

possible. The guardian holding Pugsley captive has only one weak spot that will
flash, but be warned - you need a lot of weapon power to defeat it. The Attic

Fester. Using certain weapons, you must force Fester into the lightning a number
of times, so he can regain his memory and reveal the secret basement room where
