I know about The Simpsons' games but I'm not counting that here since it's an animated series.

Same can be said about the Family Guy game and other games like that.

Besides the ones I listed and the M*A*S*H game is this it?
I haven't found out about any others...

I know about all of those, but I am asking for SITCOMS.

BTW, the tv show Maniac Mansion was based off of the game and it wasn't on PSOne.

Also, there was a Nintendo game called "Gun.Smoke" but it had nothing to do with the show. The "." in the game was there because of the trademark issues.

Unless you include SceneIt! for Seinfeld and Friends, there really weren't that many DVD or console based sitcom games created. Video game developers seem to focus more on adventure, sci-fi and procedural shows. Addams Family makes sense because while there was a sitcom, it became a franchise in the late 80s and early 1990s. Same goes for M*A*S*H being technically a franchise thus receiving a game. Look up Family Matters, there MUST be an Urkel game out there.

There may have been some VHS or Laserdisc based turn games during the 80s, I'm just theorizing here.

No prob.

If we nitpick further Maniac Mansion was originally made for the Apple II and Commodore 64. Later on it was ported onto other systems with minor differences; the NES being the most recent in 1990.
