Munsters (The)

Alternative Software - 1989

While many of us will remember the classic TV series from our youth my older sister was absolutely obsessed with it. So when she saw a copy of the game on the shelf in Boots she begged my dad to buy it for her, despite me telling her repeatedly that Your Sinclair said it was poop. Still she got it anyway then found out for herself! For some inexplicable reason the whole Munster family have found themselves trapped in a haunted castle and you must take control of each member of the monstrous brood in turn to make your escape and find your way home. There are all manner of gruesome creatures trying to stop you leaving, and these can either be avoided or taken out with a magic spell. Your spells are limited so you need to try and conserve them. What’s even more punishing is how your energy is limited too. Everything plays out like a flick-screen arcade adventure and is split into different sections for each of the characters. The Munsters does a really good job of capturing the feel of the TV show with its larger than life well-animated sprites, detailed backdrops and a fantastic rendition of the signature theme tune throughout. However it falls down when it comes to gameplay as the game is ridiculously hard to start with and then when you do finally get to grips with it you find out it’s incredibly short! All in all The Munsters is an incredibly disappointing experience.
