Name: Home Alone series (2 titles)
Home Alone
Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York
Author/Vendor: Imagineering/THQ
Released: various
Type: Action
Language: English
Premise: A series of games based on the first two hit feature films of the same names starring the young McCauley Caulkin as a mischevious and ingenious young boy who has to take care of himself when he is accidentally abandoned by his parents.
Impressions: Yet another round of stupid arcade conversions of popular Hollywood movies. Both have too many cheap shots for my tastes, and I think they should be left at home - alone!
Variations: Home Alone (1992, save the neighborhood from a pair of incompetent thieves - decent enough except for the "water bandit" crap and the many, many cheap shots)
Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York (1993, same idea, but different location - is somewhat more bearable, but just barely so)
