A 1992 Licensed Game based on Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, it was published by THQ and developed by Imagineering. It was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy. There was also a version for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, more on that here.
This game contains examples of:
- Adapted Out: The boss fight with the pigeon lady is absent in the NES version, though sprites from the Game Boy version still exist in the ROM.
- Bottomless Pits: In the third level, the holes in the floor are usually fatal.
- Game-Breaking Bug:
- Spin jumping the Sticky Bandits in the third level, the Uncle's House, will crash the game if you're playing on the NES version.
- In the Game Boy version, by jumping in a specific way in the second level through a wall, you can fall into a bottomless pit with no way of getting back up. Your only bet is to soft reset.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The boss of the first level is the head chef of the Plaza Hotel who throws meat at Kevin.
- Guide Dang It!: Much like its Super NES counterpart, the game will not tell you anything about what to do next, unless you have the manual.
- One-Hit Kill: Getting strangled, sucked into a vacuum or having a TV fall on him will kill Kevin in one hit.
- Power-Up Food: Collecting enough cookies will restore Kevin's health by one point.
- Stalked by the Bell: Standing in one spot too long in the Game Boy version of the Chase level will have a safe crush him.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Pizzas. Collecting six slices of a pizza, or collecting a whole pizza pie will give Kevin a 1-Up.
- Unique Enemy: There exists only one mad bomber in the Central Park level in the Game Boy version.
- Violation of Common Sense: By falling into a specific hole in the Uncle's House level, you'll find a key there. At no point does the game tell you about what holes are safe or not.
