Legacy
In June 2016, video game developer Frank Cifaldi found the NES version's source code on an old hard drive and released it to the public. He has stated the game's code was based on The Simpsons-licensed titles on the NES, also by Imagineering.[15][16]
A sequel for the Game Boy version, entitled Home Alone 2: Lost In New York: Kevin's Dream, was slated for release in 1994, as made by Unexpected Development, but it was cancelled before it came out. Unexpected Development would re-work the title to be based on the Fox Kids animated series Bobby's World, complete with Super Game Boy functionality, but a planned 1995 release by Hi Tech Entertainment also did not occur. The ROMs for both versions of the game were leaked online in September 2020.[17]
