Home Alone platformer adapted from the film, defending the house against burglars. Stiff animations and dated level design. For very young nostalgic fans.

Collector interest

A Japanese release of a Hollywood film license, this Home Alone edition stands out in a local catalogue where American movie tie-ins remained marginal. The game itself is unremarkable, yet a Japanese pressing of a Western blockbuster is a genuine import curiosity, separate from the far more widespread US and PAL runs. Appeal sits with collectors of territorial variants.
