NiGHTS into Dreams is one of my favourite games of all time. The first time I played it, I was about 6 and staying at my cousins’ house in Florida. When I got home to the UK, I missed it so much, I cried at night with the soundtrack playing in my head (it still makes me cry and I don’t care who knows it). A shorter Christmas-themed version called Christmas NiGHTS, was released in December 1996 and a fan spotted something interesting:
Yep, the game composers sampled Home Alone on the menu screen. I’d love to know why they did it but until then, I’ll applaud them for their decision and thank Joey Freeze for his discovery.
