Yes. It's definitely real from the time it was made and not some jokey modern retreaux trainwreck

Played It, it's the second game for PC I ever recall seeing.

Same here. That game was everywhere.

Back in the day, it could be found on just about every BBS with a files section. It's written in compiled BASIC; and the game concept is taken, more or less, from an old Nintendo product.

I was going to say that after watching the gameplay it didn't seem too terribly hard, until they started throwing out multiple babies.

Mm.

We had this on my dad's PC/XT back in the day.

As a young'n, I could never manage anything more than 1 baby. Even now, it's tricky as they get closer together in succession, the difficulty curve is quite steep.

while using Left / Right arrow keys seems to be intuitive, my best scorer friend always use 1-2-3 keys instead so he can always move the 'bouncer' to opposite spot he want without having it go thru the middle spot.

The fact that someone would make a game with babies being thrown out a window.

Regardless, the babies still go splat when they hit the ground.

OMG, is this lullaby for real?

Unless you prevent it, which is the point of the game! 😉

HAVE COMPUTER GAMES GONE TOO FAR?

Gabe has removed this game from the steam store

As a former baby myself I find this game deeply offensive.
