There are also plenty of blind jumps and sudden falling platforms. It’s very easy to miss jumps because he hadn’t gained enough speed. However, Beethoven is very big and a bit difficult to control. It only has eight levels, and there aren’t any bosses so if you are good the whole thing can take less than thirty minutes. This is one of those games that is both way too easy and too hard at the same time, and that’s its biggest flaw. (Are there fat dog hunters in the movie? At least those are only tranquilizer darts) Still I like the overall setup, and at least they were trying to make it slightly different. However, the pup is able to locate traps so it is mitigated somewhat. This leads poor Beethoven to experience too many cheap hits. You spend a good portion of the second stages with your pup in your mouth, and when you do this you can’t attack. Of course that leads to a major flaw of the game. Am I anywhere close? I have to say as a father myself it was fun playing a game that cared about family so much.

I have not seen the movie so I’m guessing her name is either Beetovina, Beetovette, or Sheetoven.
In the first level of the stage he finds his wayward pup, and in the second level he returns the pup to his wife. Despite the name on the box it’s actually based on the second movie so Beethoven has to save his kids. If you have any knowledge of movie based games you probably already know what kind of game this is going to be.

All I have to say is you’re welcome, society. I could be ranking Mario games but instead I am going to random bad NES games that nobody has thought about in twenty-five years. THQ was the worst publisher for NES so I wouldn’t be surprised if ends up ranking fairly high for one of their games. Sure it’s in my bottom ten, but it’s the best game in my bottom ten. I acknowledge that it is a bad game, but at least it’s bad in an interesting and compelling way. As a consequence I will always have a soft spot for this one. Some friends share bad movies while we shared bad games. It fails by just about any metric.īack in college I used to play it with my friend Dustin almost every day. So not only do you have baffling gameplay to contend with but you will do so while staring at ugly green blobs. It shouldn’t be that hard to represent common household items on the NES, but the developers fail even at that. It has an ugly color palate with an emphasis on pink and green while the objects themselves are largely abstract. It doesn’t help that the entire game is wrapped in one of the ugliest packages on the whole system. All you do is blindly wander around your house randomly setting traps hoping that nothing bad happens. The bandits are very quick and don’t show up on the map so it’s hard to come up with a strategy. He only picks up traps and drops off traps. Kevin can’t attack or interact with the environment. The entire game takes place in a small, flat house with only a tiny treehouse and basement to break up the monotony. The main problem is that there just are not enough gameplay option. I can't even describe what's on those bookshelves Sometimes you have to get your bad ones out of the way early, and oh my is Home Alone ever a bad one. Much like Kubrick’s Paths of Glory it would propel Bethesda into the pantheon of great developers where they would go on to make some of the defining games of their generation. Then they would switch directions and make The Elder Scrolls: Arena. The developer would go on to make a few more bad licensed games on the NES. There were only five people credited on it so it must not have been much of a priority. THQ got a small developer to make a game to cash in on the Home Alone movie. The results were an amateurish art house mess that gives almost no clue of the greatness to come. He took a tiny crew with a micro budget and did just that. Kubrick at the time was a photographer with a couple of short film credits who decided he was ready to make narrative films. My look into the dark world of John Hughes movie games continues with the gaming equivalent of Stanley Kubrick’s Fear and Desire.
