Play Home Alone (Europe) Online

Home Alone for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1992, developed by Imagineering Inc. It was one of those many licensed games that tried to capture the movie's spirit on a cartridge, fitting right in with the era's mix of ambitious and sometimes clunky adaptations. You don't hear much about it these days, but it had its own little corner in the SNES library.

You play as Kevin McCallister, running through your house and neighborhood trying to set traps before the Wet Bandits break in. The main goal is to survive until the clock runs out, using items like toy cars, ornaments, and paint cans to slow the burglars down. You move screen by screen, laying traps in specific spots, then luring Harry and Marv into them. It can feel repetitive, and the controls are a bit stiff, but there's a simple satisfaction in watching your plans actually work. It feels like a messy, chaotic puzzle where you're always just barely staying ahead.
