The Addams Family

"A great pinball Machine"

I never used to like pinball machines, I always thought they were boring, stupid, pointless games.

That was a little more than a year ago, and that thought was in my mind since...well forever, so you might as well say when I'm born.

A little more than a year ago, it changed. Why? I got a new job, one at a movie theater. Everybody loves movies. To pass the time, we sometimes would go in the arcade room to play pinball, we had three choices:
Addams Family, Congo Jungle, and a Police one that was like from the 1980's. Anybody ever notice that nothing good was in the 80's? they made a few pinball machines that are cool, but thats about it. The 80's really were just a waste of time...Oh, i'm only supposed to have the review in here, that's right, better move on.

They were all great, but Addams family stood out above them all, well all three of them, but that's not the point, the point is, Addams family is a great game.

Gameplay: 10/10

As always, keep the ball alive as long as possible. There's a total of four flippers on this machine, one of which will flip automatically if you get a ''thing flips'' which ends up with a roughly 40-60% chance of going in the graveyard for a 5 times bonus of your current grave yard value. Cousin It makes an appearance, so does Fester.

This game is easy to play, very difficult to master.

Sound: 8/10

Sound, well you will recognize the voices, cousin it, gomez, etc. You will love Gomez when you get a twenty-five million or more bonus on one ball:
''WHO SAY'S YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU''
There are some good effects
Video: 7/10

It might just be the machine at the theater, but the video cuts it every now and then. Not that it matters that much, all the video tells you is what your score is, and occasionaly makes a funny picture depending on the ''mission'' you get.

Replayability 10/10

This machine never gets old, if you wanted to buy your own pinball machine, I would give this one a high recommendation. On the other hand, not many people will buy a pinball machine, so hope that you have one in a bar or theater near you, and play it, play it well.

Overall this game got a 9/10, and is a great game, and I would highly recommend playing this game, if you ever get the chance.
