User Summary
Unlike the other games titled Home Alone on other systems which were developed by Bethesda Softworks, Home Alone on the Genesis was designed exclusively for the Genesis by Brian A. Rice incorporated. The other games with the same name are side-scrollers where Kevin is limited to defending his own home like in the movie. In the Genesis Home Alone, however, Kevin must defend all of the houses on the block. He moves from house to house on his sled and installs a preset number of booby traps upon his initial entry into that house. When in the houses, the game plays like a side-scroller and it is Kevin's duty to inflict enough pain on Marv and Harry that they decide to leave each house before they are done robbing and flooding it. Kevin also collects common household items to form zany weapons.
