Technically, Addams was a horrible theme. The gameplay is great though. Pinball died, just as arcades have died. Have you ever looked at production numbers in the 70's? They have been in a steady decline ever since videos came onto the scene. Accept it, and get over it. No amount of 'awesomeness' in any game Stern made or makes will revive the scene to what it was before.
P.S. I like Addams now, but the staircase is still by far the ugliest toy ever put on a pinball machine. That game simply defied all logic by selling as many units as it did.

Just curious, what was wrong with the Addams Family theme? At least there was a reason for it to exist (recent movie release) unlike Monopoly and the like...

Hello! Cheesy 'flavor of the month' movie license! That is what Stern is being criticized for anymore.
Mauzy:
But atleast it was a quality PLAYING game. I can take a hit in the theme if it plays pretty solid, but then again I actually enjoyed the movie as a kid too. What Stern was doing was making games with crappy theme AND crappy play. Not many people can accept both.
