Home Alone Sega Genesis Loot Stall Glitch / Exploit

So how the heck did I figure this one out? Well, this actually happened by accident while I was making the guide for this game. I was testing the traps to see how much damage they dealt and whatnot. As I was doing this, I realized that the Loot bar wasn't rising as fast as it should. I put two and two together and the result is the video you see here.

While I do think this exploit is interesting, it's not necessary. The game isn't hard to beat on Beginner and it's more than manageable on Expert once you get the hang of how the game works. As for the crashing part, I can't give a real answer. My only guess is that it's based off of how many times you've entered and exited a house.

I've had one run where the game crashed around 25 minutes in, and another run where it happened about 19 minutes in. In the shorter run, I exited and entered the house much faster than the 25 minute run (which is why I think it might be based off of the number of times you enter / exit). In any case, I'm gonna go back to making the guide. I wouldn't mind delving further into this, but it is a rather boring glitch as mentioned in the video.
