So this sounds kind of stupid but Home Alone is one of the main reasons I got a game gear and started collecting for it. I’m a pretty big fan of the 16bit Genesis/Mega Drive version. The Game Gear version is almost the same game with just a few tweaks made for the 8bit version. The music takes a big step back, the houses have slightly altered layouts, the old house has a different hazard, you can find traps in snowmen outside. Basically the same game, pretty much just as fun, just slightly altered for the less powerful machine with a smaller screen resolution

Those are all interesting ideas but just like mine there’s always some kind of catch. either cost, space or appeal. The final one you showed looks great but it is the problem of cost/time to make. I guess this is the trade-off for all of the games being dirt cheap basically.

It was the style at the time. Now, give me five bees for a quarter.
