Home Alone for the SNES is one of the many, many games based on the classic movie. Intriguingly, this game takes place after the events of the film. Harry and Marv are out of jail and out for revenge, bringing backup this time around and besieging the McCallister household that, for whatever reason, is transformed into a sprawling mansion with wings dedicated entirely to toys, electronics and pets, alongside a haunted basement (yes, really).

Fun factː it's also the second Western developed game for the system, and the first one to not be based on an existing game.

Developer Messages

To do: Figure out who Tiffany, Christopher, Reno, Rachel, and Rebecca are.

As soon as the game starts, turn around and jump on the bed. Go to the very right edge of the bed, and as Kevin reaches the very top of his jump, press Down+X. "Tiffany" will appear on the floor, and you will receive 1,000 points.

The above isn't limited to the first room; most other rooms work in the same way, with other names popping up.
