 sull56ivan2010, do you recommend the Genesis version? What about that version makes it stand out?  

Yes, I recommend the Genesis version. There is a Game Gear version similar to that one. What helps those versions is you’re not just saving your home. You’re saving the entire neighborhood. Remember that in the movie, there’s nobody around. You can lay down traps anywhere in a house (You can gain traps outside in the Game Gear version). There are two modes of difficulty which includes an expert mode that randomizes where the Bandits go, adding a unique play every time. You can assemble weapons such as an electrical grenade, snowball bazooka, and a sonic wave gun. That’s what makes it stand out among the licensed games. Kudos to the developer and Sega for making it. 

For the most part, I would recommend the 16-bit versions of Home Alone.
