Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York (USA)

In Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York for the NES, players take on the role of young Kevin McCallister, who finds himself separated from his family in the sprawling city of New York. This adventure platformer tasks Kevin with surviving, avoiding, and outsmarting the familiar criminal duo, Harry and Marv, also known as the Wet Bandits. Each level transports Kevin to iconic locations from New York and the movie, including the luxurious Plaza Hotel, Uncle Peter's townhouse, and Central Park, each presenting its own unique challenges.

Gameplay primarily revolves around movement, jumping, and utilizing items Kevin can pick up. Kevin can throw various objects like bricks, snowballs, or other household items to stun or slow down his pursuers. A key aspect of the game, mirroring the movie, is Kevin's ability to set "traps" to hinder Harry and Marv. While not as elaborate as in the film, players can leverage the environment or special items to create obstacles for the Wet Bandits, such as knocking over potted plants or dropping heavy objects from above.

Objectives in the game often involve finding specific items, unlocking new areas, or simply surviving for a set period while avoiding capture. Players must manage Kevin's health bar and collect health-restoring items. Occasionally, Kevin also encounters minor enemies like rats or other pesky characters. Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York requires nimble controls and quick reflexes to navigate obstacles and escape the relentless pursuit of Harry and Marv, offering an entertaining experience for fans of the movie.
