Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? (NES)

Similar to the 1985 game Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? , the player plays as a secret agent for the Acme Detective Agency, and has to use research books to crack the clues given to them on where the crook went to, and also decode the physical attributes or interests of the crook based on other clues.

Captain America And The Avengers (GBC)

The Red Skull has assembled an army of supervillains and other henchmen in a plot to take over the world. Along with battling generic enemies, players also face Klaw, the Living Laser, Whirlwind, a Sentinel , Wizard, the Grim Reaper, the
Mandarin , Juggernaut , Ultron , The Controller , the assassin
Crossbones and finally the Red Skull himself.
Players can choose to play as one of four members of the Avengers: Captain America , Iron Man , Hawkeye , and Vision. Each character can fight hand-to-hand, throw select items when on the ground, and use a ranged special attack, either a projectile weapon (Captain America's shield and Hawkeye's arrows) or an energy beam (Iron Man and Vision), known as that character's "Avenger Attack". During a jump, Captain America and Hawkeye can attack with a flying kick, while Iron Man and Vision instead attack by firing their energy beams at a 45 degree angle. Other Avengers, including the Wasp,
Quicksilver , Wonder Man, and Namor the Sub-Mariner , appear when special power-ups are collected, allowing those characters to temporarily assist the players' characters.

Home Alone (GBC)

The Game Boy version of the game, similar to the SNES and NES versions, requires the player to evade confrontation with the Wet Bandits. Similar to the SNES version, the player has to gather up various items and then dump them into a laundry chute to deposit them into a safe.

There are four levels in all, each taking place in a different area of the house, and each having a different item that the player must recover. The first level pertains to jewelry/gold/silver items, the second level has toys, the third level has various electronics, and the fourth level has various exotic pets that are both rare and expensive.
