The Munsters

The Munsters is an action-adventure game based on the classic 1960s television series. When daughter Marilyn is kidnapped, the family must rescue her from a castle haunted by ghosts. You control each family member sequentially: Lily (a witch), Herman (resembling Frankenstein), Grandpa (a vampire), and finally the family's pet dragon. The gameplay involves exploring two-dimensional flip-screen rooms connected by ladders, collecting items, and launching magic projectiles to defeat enemies. There is only one life. The final dragon level becomes a horizontal scrolling shooter where you protect the family's car.
