Alright so this week's game of the week was awarded to Home Alone for the NES. This game was apparently made way back when Bethesda didn't know very much about making console games, because it's not... all that.. Great... if you know what I mean . If you don't know what I mean then I'm saying that the game is pretty much terrible.

This game is very loosely based on the movie Home Alone, although if you've seen the movie you of course know what the story of this game is, but if you haven't seen the movie, good luck trying to find out the story while playing the game. It gives you absolutely no background story as to what's going on, so I guess I'll fill it in for you. Two thieves break into a house while the kid is the only one there, and the kid pretty much tortures them. Great movie, by the way. Although I can't come close to saying that about the game. Sorry Bethesda, but this game really came to disappoint.

Nothing in the game is actually "broken", but at first I had no idea what the heck* I was doing until I Googled how to play it. The gameplay is quite simple, you run around, pick up these little squares, which are supposed to be the 'booby traps' for the thieves, and when one of the guys gets to close you drop one of the 'traps' behind you to make to guy fall so you can get away. Another big issue for this game is that there aren't any levels... you just run around the same house for 20 minutes(real time) trying not to get caught by these guys. Although, like pretty much every single NES game out there, this game is pretty hard. It will give you a pretty good challenge, but at the cost of playing a bad game .
