Midnight Mutants stars Grampa from the Munsters, or maybe the Addams Family, I don't know the difference. He's been kidnapped or something and you have to rescue him. It's an adventure-ish game. You have to find items and do some exploration at least. It's not the Legend of Zelda but it's alright.
I've seen FAQs and such that claim the Atari 7800 was better than the NES from a technical perspective. No one that's played both systems could honestly believe that. If that were true I'd expect Midnight Mutants to be at least equal to, if not better than, NES games of 1990. Not even close. The 7800 was a fun system and had some decent games, but it didn't stack-up against the NES or Sega Master System.
