Home Alone adapts the Chris Columbus comedy on THQ/Bethesda NES with little Kevin McCallister trapping burglars Harry and Marv in his Chicago house. The representation offers oblique view with trap setting and escape in a family film license formula. Criticized for repetitive gameplay, curiosity of the 8 bit THQ catalog.

Collector interest

A NES adaptation of the hit Christmas film, Home Alone is the archetype of the movie-licensed game that flooded shelves on its THQ release, hence very common loose and low in play appeal. Its collecting interest is thin, carried mainly by seasonal nostalgia and by the value gap between an ordinary cartridge and a sealed original that remains a market footnote.
