The HOME ALONE Story
Harry and Marv, the bumbling "Wet Bandits," have paid their debt to society. They are now ready to get revenge on the youngster that caused them their humiliating defeat - Kevin McCallister.
They have arranged for Kevin's family to be out of the house when they come calling again, leaving him home alone for their rematch. This time, the sneaky thieves have beefed up their gang with robbers and crooks.
These new gang members are more than eager to help themselves to the McCallister valuables. Only the resourceful Kevin stands between the new Wet Bandit gang and his family's fortune!

How to Play
The Play of the Game
Kevin's objective is to collect his family's valuables, thwarting the Wet Bandit Gang. He runs throughout the various rooms and halls searching for the items.
The gigantic house is divided into four wings, each with at least two floors and its own set of treasures and traps.
The Status Screen
Four categories are shown within the Status Screen. From left to right they are:
•
Pizza: Displays the number of pizza slices that have been collected.
•
Weapon: Displays the weapon Kevin is armed with and the number of available shots.
•
Items Collected: Displays the number of valuables that have been gathered by Kevin. This number flashes when it reaches the maximum level. Kevin cannot add to this number until he deposits the collected amount down a laundry chute to a pile in the basement.
•
Items Needed: This is the minimum number of valuables that Kevin must collect to complete the level. Once this number reaches "0", the player may proceed to the basement section to secure the valuables within the vault.
Depositing Items
To deposit collected items, position Kevin in front of a laundry chute and press Up. Laundry chutes are located in several locations throughout the house.
Level Completion
When "Items Needed" reaches "0", a key appears in front of the locked basement door. If you collect more than the minimum number of items, you will earn bonus points.
Tricks, Traps and Puzzles
A variety of booby traps have been set in every part of the McCallister house. Kevin can lure criminals into these devices to eliminate them from the game.
Some of the traps include:
•
Banana Peel: Knock it off the shelf and entice a crook toward you so he slips and falls off the screen.
•
Falling Objects: These can be timed to fall on unsuspecting goons. Items include paint cans and irons.
•
Floor Obstacles: Toy cars and scattered thumbtacks make imposing barriers for the bad guys.
Kevin cannot be hurt by the traps that he activates, but the Floor Obstacles will harm him. Some traps have a puzzle-like quality that require the player to solve.
Special Note
Use the enemy character's pattern of movement to determine the best way to ensnare him.
The Final Confrontations
Once the house has been cleared of the marauding bandits, Kevin must enter the basement for a final time. Waiting below will be Marv, Harry and Kevin's worst nightmare of all!
If Kevin is successful in stopping the leaders of the Wet Bandit Gang and overcoming his deepest fears, he will be reunited with his parents and family!
