Product Description

Baby Boomer is an unlicensed 1989 action game created by Color Dreams for the NES. As a baby crawls across the screen toward numerous dangers such as birds of prey or bottomless pits the player uses his/her NES Zapper to shoot hazards before they hurt the baby. Shooting birds kills them; shooting clouds makes them form ice bridges over pits.Because the game was made by an obscure company it did not have the wide release needed for great sales in stores like Wal-Mart and K-Mart like other Color Dreams gam

For an unlicensed game, this is quite good. The concept is simple, the baby is trying to crawl to the end of the stage. He/she auto-crawls. Your goal is to move the cursor around the screen and shoot stuff out of the way that tries to kill your baby. Shoot enemies, parts of the stage to create pathways, and shoot at milk for extra energy. It can be a puzzle game because you need to figure out what to shoot to help you through the levels. Sometimes enemies just pop out of the background and can catch you off guard. Luckily the game moves slow enough that you can catch that kind of thing, but it can be pretty challenging. The game says it is a light gun game, I am not sure if that is really true or not, but in any case, it is just easier to use the control pad and move the target around the screen for better accuracy.

This game is quite good, I would put a $20 price tag on it. I spent $45 on mine, but I got the box and everything with it. This game will not play on some front-load Nintendo systems, but it will play on every top-load Nintendo system. If you have problems playing this game, I recommend an FC-Twin or something even though I use an NES model 2.

*Almost every single game by WISDOM TREE, COLOR DREAMS, CAMERICA, ACTION 52 (game), and CHEETAHMEN II (game), will have this same problem. I understand you can use GAME GENIE to get around this, but it is easier to just play it the right way and not have to worry about it.
