Episode 45
Uncle Fester's Quest : The Addams Family is well known for its difficulty. One wrong move, and it's back to the beginning! If that sounds unappealing, don't worry - with tricks in this video you'll never die!
This game was made by Sunsoft, one of the best developers of games based on licensed properties for the NES. They made Batman, and Gremlins 2, but this game actually came before all of those, and was their first foray into the world of licensing.
So how did Sunsoft lock down the license for such a big property with no prior experience? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the game play where we'll learn:
* The best way to POWER UP FAST! Don't be stuck with bad weapons, and items!
* Where to find the HEALTH CONTAINER UPGRADES - Max out your health!
* The location of every WEAPON AND ITEM - Where to find everything!
* The SECRET GLITCH that will kill bosses in a single hit!
* Find ALL of the Addams Family members - Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsly, Thing, Mama, and even Gomez!
* MAPS for every building maze - never get lost again!
* How to beat the UFO - You can do it!
* The ultimate strategy for defeating EVERY BOSS, even the ALIEN LEADER... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

You know someone is an expert when they make festers quest look easy! A rare breed indeed!
Never could beat this one, but DAMN what an amazing soundtrack.
Sunsoft really comes through with the soundtracks. they knew something about using the NES to get some good bass sounds, something it doesn't seem like most other developers ever figured out
ME EITHER
@@UCanBeatVideoGames there's a really good video by explod2A03 talking about the sunsoft bass! the gist is they went about it by using dpcm bass samples instead of the NES's usual square/triangle waves, giving it that deeper and more "punchy" feeling.
Man, Sunsoft was up there with Capcom as far as I'm concerned. One of my favorite developers on the NES.
agreed.
100%!

Your videos are becoming an integral part of my weekends. Really appreciate all your effort!
Thank you!!
Agreed
Ugghhh integrals the other part of my weekend
Ditto Saturday isint Saturday until I get my ucbvg.
The Addams Family was popular in reruns and advertising at the time, geared more towards the younger generation. Same reason why the movie ended up getting made, why the original Star Trek got more popular, and why Gilligan's Island became popular again, it was cheap rerun content for TV stations to run.
Agreed. And that's fine. Sometimes things get popular through reruns.
@@SamtheBravesFan it was really a response to the rise in independent TV stations and cable networks that exclusively existed in the 70s and 80s that allowed this to really happen. We saw a mini version of the same thing with the rise of streaming, but the time frame was more condensed. No one back when these shows were being newly produced expected anything like that type of content market to exist.
Exactly. TBS back in the 80's would air reruns of Gilligan's Island and The Addams Family. Which my sister and I watched a lot. My dad was a huge Star Trek fan so we always watched the reruns of that, as well. Reruns really helped those shows gain traction with my generation and resulted in The Addams Family movies and TNG being created.
The NES-obsessed 7 year old in me is incredibly impressed with your skill!
Best day of the week when the Bob Ross of gaming uploads 🥰
his videos are indeed a joy to partake in
This is so dead on, I will absolutely load one of his videos to chill out or calm down
The reason the Christian iconography got through was that the Nintendo censors couldn't make it that far into the game, lol.
Thank you for this video, I'm going to fire up my copy this weekend and see how far I can get!
A childhood favorite of mine, and still a strong title in my NES library!
Just a note about the story: the aliens abduct the townspeople, not Gomez. Gomez stays at the Addams' house to protect it while Fester and the rest of the fam take on the aliens. That's why he's in that cutscene when you get the 4th health box. The story is in the manual. I can send a link to a site that has scans for most NES manuals if you'd like it.
Also, the dot after you get all the clues reveals the location of the final boss. It isn't really helpful either way, but that's what it's supposed to do.

I always used tnt as a 'hot pursuit' weapon. Those frogs love to chase, so dropping tnt while they are chasing can often times take them out without you having to turn around.
They're also useful for taking out Slimes (Green Spineys on the UFO) in one shot, as well.
Also useful in handling the Fleas (the jumping insectoid enemies) before you get the whip.
$5 for a Hot Dog in 1989, that's one expensive dog
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.. I remember getting hot dogs back in those days for like $1. I guess Festers hot dogs are infused with anabolic muscle candy.
That's like Ball Park quality.
Well, it is a Dirk Diggler Dog.....
@@wingedhussar5528 Yeah. Living in NY I think every vendor had the 2 dogs and a can of soda for $3 deal.
That's around 11 bucks today without tax. Yeesh.
This is one of the hardest NES games, and you explained how to play this so very well.
Really? try yesterday to beat it i get the last boss on the first Try , and finished the game at the second try , the game have a medium difficulty
could you do a guide vid on that crazy-ass nes game 'a boy and his blob'?
would be brilliant to see all the secrets & strategies of that game
Dec 2021 UPDATE: Yessss!! He did it ❤️
That was a hard game to beat. The remake was fun to beat too.
Your comment about it being a nightmare for color blind people really struck home. I am not color blind, but my parents would only let the nes be hooked up to an old black and white television for awhile. Not sure how I ever reached the 4th boss without knowing if each gun/whip would level me up or down. Later when hooked up to a color television, it was so much more enjoyable.
When I was really young we had an old Radio Shack computer that was essentially just a keyboard that plugged into the TV, and I had to play that on a Black and White TV. One of my only games for it was a Sesame Street color matching game!
My grandparent actually had one of them old timey rotary telephones with the part you hear from separate from the base that was on the table.
My boomer parents bought wholesale into the whole "Vidya games rurnt the teevee!" So we had to sneak to play games in color on "the big tv"
@@EveryDooDarnDiddlyDay and now you can have a big flat screen TV to play them video games.
Same here, but with pressure cooker for the atari 2600. Colors were important in the game and I didn't saw them, lol
Never got why this game was so disliked, I've always enjoyed it. Thanks for the video!
Exactly I think it’s cuse people don’t know how to play it always upgrade first before you adventure out
Its because avgn said it was crap and people cant think for themselves.
I know avgn said this game was crap...but he was wrong
The anti-power ups were a problem, it wasn’t very intuitive to get around, and was hard as hell even if you figured out what you were supposed to do. It’s far from the worst game ever made, but it’s not number 45 on the list of best NES games
Infinitely spawning enemies, circular gun shots hitting walls, no checkpoints.
I remember this game fondly. Always enjoyed it myself as a kid. Can't wait to see you tackle Solstice.
I loved Solstice, though I never beat it...
Solstice is insane I just beat it last year the sound track is amazing also Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy not sanctioned but one of the best NES music of all time
If he tackles some Dizzy games it will be epic ✌🙌
My mom bought this game for me, and her and I used to play it together back in the day. It's most DEFINITELY a Turbo game, for sure! Also, having the issue of Nintendo Power that did a feature on this game certainly helped.
Excellent music and graphics too! I credit this game with giving me my preference for the Addamses over the Munsters.
I used that Nintendo power when I played it for the video - it was very helpful! The maps I show on the sides are pictures from the issue, I just added in the path with photoshop.
My aunt died before finishing this game (her favorite, btw) and I've aged quite a bit since then. I want to use your strats to finish this game once and for all in the name of my aunt. I promised her I would if she couldn't. That last boss always ended me while the two bosses before really hurt a lot. I feel confident now. Thanks a lot!
"Getting Lurched" needs to be a tshirt
I had this game on NES. I actually bought it sometime in the mid 90s when I was already in high school at a comic book store that sold old NES games. I had never played it but it was cheap and I remember thinking it looked cool from the commercials I saw as a kid. I never even knew the gun stopping in the walls was a “defect”. It seemed logical to me! Go figure haha!
Every single time I watch your vids I have to pause and grab a beer as I shake my head of how easy you made these games look….. thank you for all the games I could never finish as a kid
Your channel fills a void in my soul that's been missing since this days of strategy guides.
Whenever you start making t-shirts, make one that says "Enjoy the cheesy ending" or something in that realm.
Still the most underrated channel on RUclips. Great info. Great gameplay. great editing. Every damn week.
Love that mixed meter music.
I f%#king LOVE this channel! The brief history at the beginning of each episode, the extremely detailed game play mechanics, tips etc..Even the monotony of the channel creators voice is awesome
(And I mean that with no negative connotation!)
Big fan 👊
Thanks for making such an awesome channel 🙇♂️
And Fester sits back and celebrates with some persimmons, walnut shells, and some sour milk
I like persimmons...
Green persimmons, which I've never had but from what I understand they're extremely sour.
Such a classic. Really enjoyed playing this one back in day's. Finally turned it over when I got a Max Joy Pad with the turbo buttons lol
turbo makes it so much more relaxing - I like to play this with the NES Advantage. I like the joystick for slow top down games like this one.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames your channel is really making me understand the need for an NES Advantage (did you know there's a SNES one as well?) Better than just using ours as a kid. Turbo buttons would have really helped in a lot of games!
Omg, I was just looking up in depth videos on this and I am SO SO glad you did this as you're of my favorite RUclipsrs lately. I managed to beat this game when I was 9, button mashing wildly, grinding for the best gun and whip and learning when to use the best weapons like the missiles. Thank you so much!!
How did you manage to get through the mazes when. I was I kid I could never figure them out
Grid paper! I would map out my button presses with the walls. I also accidentally found the extra health in the first building but didn't realize it wasn't a glitch. It took me a while to hit that wall again, so you better believe I started push up against every wall in the game afterwards lol
@@DahrkDaiz OMG that must have been horrible
"Who invented that thing?" Didn't you know? Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise!
Ah, good ol' Fester's Quest. Like a lot of other people who've commented here, I don't get the hate for this game. It's awesome. Also the music is TOP NOTCH. That boss theme is one of my favorite 8 bit tunes, and I love that it's the theme for the UFO itself, as if the entire final zone IS the final boss fight and the Alien Leader is just the capstone to that. I didn't beat it until WAY later in life, but it was worth it, in spite of the cheesiness of the single screen ending. Year 2 has been off to a great start so far with Deja Vu and this! Can't wait to see what the next video is!
And uh, I just wanted to say thank you again. Your videos are the shining bright spot on one of my WORST work days. I can always come home after a stressful day on Saturdays and enjoy the newest video. So thank you for that. :)
...Wait, does that mean T.Rex is a di--
*USER WAS BANNED FOR BEING AN R-RATED DOUCHEBAG*
Thanks for that trip down memory lane my man, I don't think I ever made it past level 1 gun as a kid before giving up.
Amazing. I played this as a kid and neither me or my poor mother could get very far. I know we got the vice grips and stumbled into at least one 3d building but we never knew what to do, and when you die you start back at the beginning. I always assumed this game was impossible. We were probably picking up every item that dropped, including the power-downs.
My name is Josh I've been watching your channel for 2 years and I love your retro video games please keep the video games coming
This game gets an unfair amount of heat, and it gets fanned on thanks to AVGN. It's no masterpiece, but the general gameplay is entertaining and soundtrack is still to this day very addicting to listen to. Great video, keep them coming.
Thanks! I couldn't agree more
I think James Rolfe has done a lot of unnecessary harm to classic gaming. Thre are games I love and have begged my friends to try, but they'll say things like "Oh, AVGN says that old thing is just too hard" or "I heard AVGN thinks that game's a piece of crap" and they never try it.
@@KamenRiderGumo You're right but at the same time, he did share light on every other games as well, be it more obscure titles or famous ones and while some are complete turds, I do agree that TMNT and this one in particular are not bad games, they just got really big difficulty spikes or irritating sections that as a kid we all struggle with, of course nowadays it's just really common to have YT videos or walktrough but in the context of when theses games were new we all get angry for the same reasons, this is why those episodes are so funny.
I remember playing Blaster Master before this one. Saw it in action before I knew what the game was called and thought. "It must be a sequel to Blaster Master! ...but wait, who are you playing as?" As I was not yet familiar with The Addams Family at the time. The game was fun, and the soundtrack was pretty good.
i'm excited to watch this. this has got to be the best guide ever because i totally remember renting this as a kid and not getting past level 1
I don't even own an NES but there's something quite soothing about these videos
I've always liked this game and finished it once way back, great choice for a walkthrough. Thanks for sharing
Completely forgot about this game! Such a fun one! Thanks for this!!
This was/is such an amazing game! One of my all time faves! Thank you for the game play!!!! Subbed!
Outstanding. I had this as a kid and beat it on my own. That said, I never knew about the boss-annihilating key glitch, or about the 4th health point. Bravo on this full walkthrough!
Excellent videos and series new retro players will be watching these for years to come. Hopefully they experience as much joy (and rage) as we did when these games first came out.
Thank you so much for doing these!
Love reliving my childhood.
Mendel Palace would be pretty cool to see.
Also you will for sure be on my sub list when the join function is there.
My wife and I love your channel
:) It's fun learning about all these cool NES games and your narration is always so pleasant to listen to!
I love your channel man, it's so much better and more helpful than most out there
Just found your channel about a week ago. It’s funny I was thinking right away “yeah do festers quest”. Turns out that you have. Lol. This was the hardest game I’ve ever played as a kid. I think I still have it. Great video. Well done
Love your videos man.. appreciate and respect what you do for us gamers.
Awesomeness!!! 👌 🍻 This game and your videos!
My new favorite channel next to game sack. I've beaten 4 games with these videos that I never thought I could. You commentary and skill is amazing. Thanks a bunch
I love this. Thanks! Looking forward to your Mission Impossible NES vid big time.
I really love you, and what you're doing here. This stuff certainly isn't easy, and you've managed to break it down into very concise and easy to follow directions, but it will still take lots of practice to accomplish.
I've really been loving these videos!!! I know a lot more than i ever did!!! Thanks!!!
Just found your channel, love the content so far. Keep up the good work!
thanks bro been waiting for you to conquer this. so many memories of watching my old brother try and beat the 3rd boss
I don't do this often, but I just wanted to say I found this channel recently and really like it. Subbed...
I just found this channel, thank you for all this content!!
I did it! Thank u for the assistance, Festers Quest is now one of my fav NES games of them all. It's funny, cause I played this game one time, and was like "ha ha ha it's as bad as AVGN said it was" and never gave it another thought for years, until, yesterday I wanted to nostalge-trip it; and with this guide, found the game super straightforward, beat it very shortly after learning how to do it (unlike many other games, I've watched ur guides, learned the strats and tried to beat other games, but no luck yet; festers quest deff one the easier ones)
there are no difficult platforming segments where u fall down and have to do it all over, there are no instant death traps, it's just, keep moving forward, shoot the bad guys and avoid the damage (and weapon downgrades)
cheezed all the bosses w/ key-glitch, maybe one we'll come back to it and try to beat them for real
This game was SO hard to beat! So many hours trying again and again and just gave it up. This video has finally cured my frustration!
Look forward to your upload every week! Thanks!
I remember finishing this game when I was young, but I completely have no memory of the first person portions!
Great content as always. Thank you!
Great channel love these videos !
Seeing you beat this is very cathartic.
I remember renting this during a really bad storm with a tornado watch and it made the atmosphere even more creepy lol. Hey i was like 9... it was scary! Never did beat this game, stupid sewers.
Thanks U Can Beat Video Games! Now i can relive my childhood nightmares.
Love your vids, I've been able to finally beat all the nes games I grew up with
I just started this the other day, though I used a patch that applies the changes Sunsoft made to the European version to the NTSC version so it was a bit easier, but I still don't know that I would have finished this game without this video, the boss strategies in particular really helped as well as those devilishly hidden health upgrades, and I nearly left the items behind completely. Cheers for the helpful videos as always.
Another great video, when i was a kid and first played this, i came across that big spider enemy thing and it scared the crap out of me
Just beat the game for the first time using your video for the final level. Thank you for the help!
Loved the shout out to Dinosaucers, another awesome video, I never beat this as a kid, just rented it a few times from Blockbuster....gonna have to get out the Raspberry Pi and load it up and play thru it.
A childhood favorite of mine, even though it was so difficult, and I never got close to beating it. These videos take me back to a place in a time that will never come again.
i never played this game but I love your work man! Id play classic NES games with you brotha!
Bro, I love you. Cannot wait to watch this.
Bro I love you..Iv had this game since a child one of my first games..love it but have yet to beat it and im 36 now...great underated gem.
Never beat it but always enjoyed it, thanks for this.
Dude, I love your videos. At first the dry delivery wasn't something I vibed with, but the info was so good I had to watch... but now I've grown to love the dry delivery style. When you mix in silly pop culture references w/ deadpan delivery it gets me every time. "Now I have the power." gave me a legit chuckle as I sit here working from home. I've used your guides to finish 5 games! I take selfies with all the end screens and it's really fun building a collection of images I can look back on and remember. (at 40 I start to forget some of these moments w/o visual aids).
Thanks to you I am currently on Mr. Sandman in Punch Out... I will fulfill my lifetime wish of beating Punch Out 100% legit.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I’ve carried a grudge against this game for decades lol. Those missiles are sweet! T Rex took forever.
Thank you for finally doing this!!
For sure! This game needs some love - there's a lot of unnecessary hate for it out there
Loved this game as a kid. I played it just last week when I had a craving for nostalgia!
SUBSCRIBED! Nice work good sir😎🤘
Excellent... I will definitely take the time to finally kick this games butt .
These videos give me so much closure. Its like getting a brain download of what it would have felt like to be a pro-player back in 1990.
I used to play this in a black and white TV. I finally understand the problem with the power ups! thanks :D
Another seemingly impossible childhood game broken down and easy to digest. I have really been enjoying these keep it up!
Oh Wow, Fester's quest! I saw the commercial for this back in the day, but I didn't have the 'Guts' to out and play it. 😋
Wow I didn’t think this was possible, congratulations!
I really do like your reviews please keep more coming
The best game guide channel on yt!
Instant like and subbed. sorry if i sounded like a tool here but I really like this channel alot so far :)
This is like "Until we win".
Didn't grow up playing most NES games so I've never played this game but I did grow up playing the 16bit era addams family games which were enjoyable rentals back in the day, the movies and cartoons were really great and the movies still hold up which I don't say so often about most old media.
This game was my first experience with "Game Engines." When I was a kid, I couldn't help but notice it was very similar to Blaster Master. Little did I know that both Blaster Master and Fester's Quest shared a lot of the same code and had basically the same game engine.
I had this game as a kid and never got far. I also remember playing it with a Quickshot ball controller, which always felt clunky, but I still insisted on using it. 😆
That boss glitch is crazy!!! Thank you sir ..
That doggo has the best walkthroughs!
I could never beAt this game as a kid! Thanks for the share my guy!
Just like Saturday Morning Cartoons! Love the weekly drops.
Omg yesssss!
U make my Saturday happier
Thank you
😁
This channel reminds me of a modern video version of old issues of Nintendo Power. Love it. Keep it up, bud.
Another top tier vid by
U Can Beat Video Games. Yeah this game pissed me off back in the day but I kept coming back. The NES music on my top 30
OMG it's the hardest damn game I have ever played and couldn't beat without a shit ton of save states. Can't wait to see how you do this!
Loved this game! One of the first and few NES games I ever beat.
I've been waiting on this one!
