The game is based on the popular film of the same name and follows the story of Kevin McCallister, a young boy who is accidentally left behind when his family goes on vacation. In the game, players control Kevin as he defends his house from Harry and Marv, the notorious "Wet Bandits" who are intent on burglarizing his home. The gameplay involves setting up various traps around the house to thwart the burglars, utilizing everyday household items. Players must strategize the placement and timing of these traps to keep the bandits at bay until the police arrive.

Developed by Bethesda Softworks and published by THQ, the NES version of "Home Alone" offers a unique experience compared to its counterparts on other platforms. The game features a side-scrolling view and presents a time-based challenge, with the ultimate goal being to survive for 20 minutes until the police arrive to apprehend the burglars. Players are also tasked with managing different resources, such as trap components and ammunition for Kevin’s BB gun, adding a layer of resource management to the strategic elements. Despite mixed reviews, the game is remembered for its connection to the beloved film and remains a nostalgic title for many fans of classic NES games.
