Well as a complete surprise to myself, it looks as if DJ Mike with the help of some EAB members are remaking the Amiga version of The Addams Family with those missing backgrounds. As one person puts it "the game is nearly finished, I tested all the levels using infinite energy and all the backgrounds are perfect and everything is fine"
