Play Home Alone on GB Online

Home Alone on the Game Boy came out in 1991, developed by Imagineering Inc. It was one of those many licensed games from the era, trying to capture the movie's frantic energy on a tiny screen. You played as Kevin McCallister, left to defend the house, and it fit right in with other portable action titles of the time.

You control Kevin, moving screen by screen through the house to set traps before the Wet Bandits break in. The main goal is to survive until the clock runs out, using items like banana peels and marbles to trip up the burglars. You also collect valuables scattered around for points, and you have a slingshot to stun Harry or Marv if they get too close. The pacing is tense; you're always watching the enemy movements, trying to set up your next trick without getting caught. It feels like a hectic game of cat and mouse where every second counts.
