This is definitely a Bethesda game alright. One Todd Howard didn't even have a part in. He wouldn't work for them until 94, and wouldn't head a game until 95's Future Shock.
Bethesda was a different company back then, they mostly did licensed sports and movie games, it was only until The Elder Scrolls that things changed Most studios go through a license game phase in their early years, look at Rare
@@TheVideoMaker1999 That is true. One of the more interesting stories being RWS Productions Aka. Running With Scissors. Before they helmed the Postal Series, they were responsible for the lion's share of Hi-Tech Expression's output.
At least this game actually resembles the movie its based on. The team did a good job recreating the house on a single screen, even including the treehouse. It is a bit rubbish just having to avoid the wet bandits until the timer runs out.
The Sega Home Alone was amazing though. You had to last a set time for the cops to show up, and you had several different homes to defend, and you could set traps.
O man, my sis and I would play this game for hours and we’ve never beat it 😩 It pissed us off lol. No but fr, some NES games were just awful or brutally hard. The fear/anxiety of getting caught is engraved in my soul. Edit: kudos to OP for beating it!!
If you still have the game there is an easy way to run the time if you get all the traps from the house. Put all the traps in that long loop that connects the yard, tree house ladder, third floor and gutter pipe. Easiest way to win without cheating.
My little brother & I spent ALL summer trying to beat this game!! We would get down to less than 5seconds left, but could NEVER beat it. The anxiety it gave us was crazy!! Such good memories!! 🥰
Wait, you can hide in this game? If only I knew that when I played this a few years back. I'd probably still lose, but I could at least hold out for more than a minute.
Well, it's one game you have to beat with one life, so every successful playthrough is a no-death run. Why you'd want to do that though, other than to suffer (just like with, say, Kid Kool), is anyone's guess. :P
Sorry to comment on a 2-Year old comment, but “Bethesda” did not develop Doom. Doom has Been developed by ID Software since 1993. Bethesda Softworks only Published it since 2016 & Eternal.
@@Dorian_ScottThe SNES version makes absolutely no sense but the gameplay is at least fun at least it's not just 20 minutes of running around doing the same thing over and over.
This adds new depth to the term Pyrrhic victory. Still, I suppose you could lump this in with later games like Alien Isolation. If you tilt your head and squint just right, I mean.
Something that confuses me about that "OH NO!" graphic. This version was the original release which had the aforementioned scream and a... nightmarish looking Kevin. A later revision would remove Kevin entirely and just have the "OH NO!" In a differently styled word bubble. May I ask *_why?_*
@@NintendoComplete Nope it wasn't. I played these two versions mentioned in the comment before and the game over screens are indeed very different! I wonder why.
So, it's a game with some interestingly free-form gameplay, but is brought down by technical deficiencies and generally terrible execution. Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.
Sums up every single one of their games I've tried to play. Yes, even Skyrim and Fallout. Never understood why people love their games so much. They suck as developers. Hopefully, the Microsoft buyout will change the company and make them better, but only time will tell.

@@TheVideoMaker1999 Yeah. Sorry autocorrect screwed my sentence up & I didn’t look at it until to you commented. I fixed it so thank you :) Anyway, some of these terrible licensed Games were developed by decent Game developers. My guess as to why they suck so much is the deadlines they were given. Which many were unreasonably minimal.
I've heard people say plenty that this game sucks. But nobody who said that knew that you could "hide." If you know you can hide the game is fun and challenging. If you don't know that I can see how it would be torture. Aside from that conversation, the game does a pretty good job of portraying essential elements of the movie.

Some Christmas traditions should never be broken and watching nintendocomplete play home alone on nes should be every gamers tradition. Thank you, Nintendocomplete and Merry Christmas!

5:23 pause it here for a glitch, it looks like they actually made the Kevin sprite green instead of making the background tiles mask the sprite. marv's head is behind kevins sprite and you can see the shape of Kevin's body. I could be totally wrong about that
when background tiles are masking a sprite, sprite priority still applies. This means the sprite which should appear on top will still mask the other sprites. The same thing happens in super mario bros. 3 when you drop behind the white blocks.
Nice gameplay! Have you ever tried beating the game without using the 4 chandeliers and without hiding? It's super tough. I've only done it 5 times in 33 years.
By far the greatest Bethesda game ever created. They wish to recreate this lightning in a bottle with their new games but simply can't cause they lost their way badly.
Lmao when this video pop out in my feed, I only think, why do you even bother rerecord this game. Might as well play Batman Forever and Adamantium Rage again lol. Appreciate your dedication though.
The thing that always bothered me about this game the most was how you're just manipulating icons. Icons make sense as a pickup item, but once you place them they shouldn't just stay icons :] It's weird. The game could've been pretty great if they'd went a little further with it, it's got School Daze vibes
When even Kevin McCallister himself goes on a profanity-laden rant on AVGN, you know whoever made this royally screwed up. Graphically, I have nothing against this, but the music is like a kid practicing for a half-jazz concert... it ain't pretty.
You can clearly tell that this was an early THQ title(their 2nd one after Peter Pan And the Pirates) & that they were just getting started. A lot of their early titles were just plain poor quality compared to their better received titles from the later years such as SpongeBob: Battle For Bikini Bottom, the Cars trilogy & even some original properties like Destroy All Humans.
As the AVGN would say of this game, "What a buttload of crud." And of the way Kevin walks weirdly: "He must have spent way too much time with Michael Jackson."
I want Microsoft to release this game onto Xbox Game Pass now that they own Bethesda because if they don't, I will never buy another subscription ever again as a protest.

I remember getting this game for Christmas '92, quite challenging as an 8 year old lol
All these years and I never knew you could hide behind stuff🤦🏻
Screw Resident Evil this game terrified me as a kid and I've still never beaten it lol
Excellent depiction of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci. Sadly McCully Culkin looks a bit more like Johnny Quest.

They could have made it a lot better by simply creating some unique animations for the traps and licensing some music from the film.

Is there literally no other goal to the game than to just make Marv & Harry trip on some traps for 20 minutes to rack up your score? Is that it?
Where did you see a score? The object is to evade the burglars for 20 minutes. That's it.
The score is on the pause screen and it shows on the game over screen too.
