About the Game's Creation
The Home Alone 2 game was first shown to the public in October 1992. It came out for Nintendo systems in late 1992. The Game Boy and NES versions were very similar. The Game Boy version mostly had black and white graphics. The computer version (DOS) also came out in 1992. The Genesis version was released a bit later, in 1993.
In 2016, a video game developer named Frank Cifaldi found the NES version's source code. This is like the game's secret instructions. He shared it with everyone online. He said the game's code was similar to other games made by Imagineering. These were games based on The Simpsons for the NES.
How to Play the Game
In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, you control Kevin McCallister. He is all alone in New York City. You will explore famous places like the Plaza Hotel and Central Park. You also visit Uncle Rob McCallister's townhouse and the city streets.
