I got to say I really enjoy Home Alone on the Genesis. It has some great ideas and is 9ne of my favorite Genesis Hidden Gems/Underrated games. It is the first game I remember playing with a crafting system. I also love how every house has a different theme and that items are random. Here's some tips. At the start the wet bandits drive around scouting the houses to rob, this is always random. You can take this time to spy on them to know what houses they will hit and to also loot. You want to try to loot and trap the houses as quick as you can. You can even loot houses while they are in a house being slowed down by your traps. Some weapons are really powerful but the items required to make them are a bit more rare, hence you want to loot as fast as you can. It's best to shoot them and then lure them into your traps. There's definitely a right way to play it. I really enjoyed it because every game is different though the gameplay loop boils down to the same thing.

Good on you for throwing some DOS in there, 16-bit console gamers usually act like that world never existed. ;) Thanks for the GBC gem highlight, don't think that handheld got enough love by most developers. Idk but I just don't think we'll be seeing Konami gambling unit reviews in the future like we did for their video games lol. Some nice SMS highlights too and had me thinking about Sega Lord X's SMS mini speculation videos. Was thinking it might have some potential in bridging the SMS and GG through it's emulation foundation especially in adjustable screen size matters. Always surprised me Brazil didn't make a SMS-2 with GG features like expanded color and the controller Pause button, where maybe M2 could do that with an SMS mini.

The Pie3D Game Creation system was something I spent countless hours having fun with. As janky as it was, it has a very special place in my heart. By the time they discontinued the MS-DOS version, I had learned how to get the engine to do all kinds of stuff that wasn't even listed in the documentation. Due to it's esoteric graphics format, and single 256 color palette per-game limitation, its also where I learned how to down sample graphical assets with minimal quality degradation. I still fire it up on DosBox now and then.

I can think of a couple other Christmas programs (they're not really games) that I had as a kid for the Commodore 64. I was a little kid when I got them as gifts and I really liked them at the time, but if you didn't grow up with them they wouldn't be that exciting for most people. Little kids might still like them, I guess. "Jingle Disk": this is an animated story about a mouse doing stuff on Christmas. (I don't remember the details, but it's not a complicated story or anything.) It also has the ability to print Christmas cards. There is an Apple ][ version of the game on the other side of the disk. I got to watch it once on my school's computer, and remember some things being different, but I don't remember what those differences were. "A Popples Christmas Adventure": A similar type of program to "Jingle Disk", but this one features the Popples, where were a plush toyline from the 80s that I doubt anyone that wasn't alive then is even aware of. They were little creatures that could turn into balls. This one also told a story, and at one point there is a maze, so I guess it technically counts as a game.

Santa Claus Junior honestly looks like a WayFoward game, along the likes of Wendy: Every Witch Way and Shantae. Really impressive animation and use of color, but the one giveaway that it's European is the heavy use of arpeggios in the music. I also agree that the SMS version of Batman Returns is really good. I don't know if I'd call it better than the SNES version, but it's certainly underrated. Kinda surprised the Sega CD version wasn't covered, it was the Mega Drive game but with much improved music and cool driving levels.

Indeed. I actually had to check to make sure it wasn't a WayForward game because it really gave me that vibe

NES Home Alone 2 wasn't that bad. You just had to know what you where doing and how to get the crazy 1-ups and power ups. In one section of the hotel lobby you could jump up and down on the couch to jump high enough to get some much needed power ups. I beat that game day 1 when I got it for Christmas.

Don’t be too hard on 3D Xmas Adventure. I was part of the GCS community back in the day and yes the engine wasn’t the same quality of Doom or Hexen but to be honest for a highschool kid who didn’t have a lot of programming experience this was pretty good for making a simple 3D shooter. The developer Pie In the Sky also worked hard to port the engine to Windows 95 adding the ability to import 3D models and also had released a more advance AI engine towards the end of the life of the product.
