Remember Home Alone? The movie with Macaulay Culkin plays Kevin McCallister and accidentally gets left at home while the rest of his family goes on Christmas vacation?
Not surprisingly, it got a few video game adaptations. This is one of them.
Level 1
The game begins with Harry and Marv outside of the McAllister home getting ready to steal everything. You then play as Kevin, who has to go around the house, collect all the valuables and deposit them where the thieves can't find them.
There is a slingshot in the drawers to your left near you when you start the game. Go get it, and pick up the emerald ring at the top of the drawer as well. Be sure to look around the room and move around near desks, drawers, or anything that has drawers you can open to look for hidden power-ups and points. There's a piece of pizza at the desk to the far left, and if you collect eight pieces of pizza, you'll get an extra life.
When you leave the bedroom, go to the far left end of the hall. Touch the banana peel on the ledge on the wall to bring it down, then open the drawer of the cupboard to the right. This will cause the henchman standing around to go for the ring that pops out only to slip on the banana peel, which lets you get rid of him.
Go right. Hit the bowling ball so that when the next henchman is under the trophy, it'll hit him in the head and kill him.
You'll come across an opening in the wall. This is the air vent, and if you walk up to it with any treasure, Kevin will drop it down there. You can only hold six items in your backpack (which is in the upper-right corner, if you want to know how many items you have). If your backpack is full, the number of items you have will flash and you'll have to dump everything into the air vent leading to the basement.
Be sure to go through doors when you see them, and explore everything to ensure you have all the items. Clothes hamper, toilets, sinks...if you can hide items in there in real life, you can more than likely find stuff in them in the game. But don't forget to hold Up on the Control Pad and leap into other things, such as pictures, mirrors and other wall decorations. Items will be hidden in those as well. If you can't reach a treasure that's on top of a huge vanity closet, open the drawer and jump onto it to get to the top,
Be sure to use your water gun to stun enemies. It has unlimited ammo, and it's better than nothing. Sometimes enemies will cough up treasure when you stun them from squirting them enough times.
When you go downstairs and enter the first white door, you'll meet Marv. Get what you can, but don't let this guy touch you.
Don't step on the toys that are scattered on the floor. You will take damage.
When you secure all the valuables, you'll be able to open the golden door. However, you'll have to find the key for it first. It's pretty simple to notice, as it's a gold key that's on the ground. Once you find it, look for a door that's a different color than the others near a staircase. You'll be able to open it and enter the basement. Avoid the bats and mice by jumping over them, and keep going left until you reach the valuables. Kevin will lock them up and it's on to the next level.
Level 2
The thieves are after toys now. Great.
Get everything in the bedroom, then leave the room and go left. You'll meet Harry. Keep going right until you find a paint can above a toy soldier. Leap up to the toy soldier's gun and leap into the paint can when Harry is right under it to get rid of him.
You can now carry eight things at a time, which will come in handy here.
There are tacks all over the floor. You definitely do not want to move into them, as you'll take damage. Love how tacks act as spikes in the rec room where the pinball machines act as platforms between tack pits.
In case it isn't very obvious, you have to pick up the toy helicopters and toy robots that are moving around. They aren't enemies, and they won't damage you if you run into them.
Harry will be standing on a toy soldier's gun a little further down the hall. If you knock the toy on the soldier to the left down, Harry will try to go after it. Quickly get the toy, then lure Harry further to the right. Drop the paint can on him when he's under it.
Cookies will refill one unit of health if you pick them up.
