It was a great holiday hit, and people loved it. Unfortunately, they made a game out of it. Thus, the travesty that is Home Alone:The Game. It was completely pointless, boring, and it had a crappy ending. However, I remember playing it a lot when I was little, so I decided to write an FAQ about it. 3.Overview And Controls ------------------------ The overview is simple: You, as Kevin, must not get caught by Marv and Harry for 20 minutes in your house. You are not fast enough to outrun two grown men however, so you set traps to slow them down. That is the point.You score points for making them crumple. Controls ----------- Up and Down On D-Pad - Go up and down stairs,ladders,etc. Left and Right On D-Pad - Move Kevin left and right A Button - Pick up traps B Button - Set traps Start - Shows the House Map 4.Traps and The House Map --------------------------- The only way to stop Marv and Harry from catching you is to lure them into your traps. There are many traps to pick up, but they all do the same thing. If one of the villians steps on them, he'll crumple and stars will appear above his head. He'll stay that way for about 10 seconds in the first ten minutes, and hardly 5 in the last ten minutes. You'll find the following traps in the following places. REMEMBER: You can pick up traps that have already been used once and use them again. 1F Foyer -------- Lightbulb Lightbulb Kitchen ---------- Soda Cans Soda Cans Iron Living Room -------------- Christmas Ornaments T.V. 2F Kitchen -------- Water Balloon Parent's Bedroom ------------------ Lightbulb Guest Bedroom --------------- Micro-machines 3F Landing -------- Lightbulb Attic --------- Tacks Bedroom -------- Christmas Ornaments Brother's Bedroom ------------------ Tarantula Lightbulb Basement ---------- Tacks 7 Paint Buckets Outside --------- Curling Iron If you pause the game or get caught by Marv or Harry, the house map will show up. It displays your current score, the amount of time you have left before the end of the game, and it shows your position and active traps set. Your position is displayed by the solid green bar, and the traps' positions are shows by the glowing bars. 5.The Magic Route To Victory ------------------------------ To easily get far in this game, you can follow the same route through the house over and over again to win easier. My favorite route is as follows: 1.)At the start, pick up the two lightbulbs and go up the stairs 2.)Go left and climb those set of stairs 3.)Go left and shimmy down the pipe 4.)Go right when you reach the end, towards the treehouse 5.)Climb up the ladder to the treehouse 6.)Climb across the rope 7.)Go left, and repeat steps 3-6 If you encounter Marv and Harry at any time, just place your traps. Remember to pick up traps along the way. If you last twenty minutes, you get to see the horrible ending. All it is is Kevin looking out of a window while Harry and Marv are captured. A crappy ending to a crappy game. That's the end of my FAQ. This has been my sixth FAQ so far, and I hope to make many more.
