Uncle Fester was relaxing on the roof, when aliens showed up and kidnap Gomez. Fester is tasked with saving his brother (and the world) from evil aliens.

When Fester's Quest was released in Europe, Sunsoft made some key changes to the game, supposedly based on feedback made from the US release, thus creating a version of the game that felt less frustrating overall.

These patches bring those two gameplay changes to the NTSC-US version, plus a small extra addition, so they can be enjoyed with a version of the game that runs at full speed, instead of 50Hz.

Officially made changes:

* Your shots go through walls, no longer getting stuck and disappearing when colliding with the scenery.

* All your Gun and most of your Whip Levels do more damage, which is the approach Sunsoft take to reduce the "bullet Sponge" feeling of the enemies.

* Because the two points above make the game noticeably less hard, the Hot Dog prices got increased from 5$ to 10$.

You can apply a patch that includes all these changes, but you can also apply each one separately, with each change having its own patch, just in case.
