Actually, my sister's favorite game on our first computer (a 1988 Tandy)
was called "Bouncing Babies." In this game, babies were tossed out of a
burning building, and you had to move a trampoline to successsfully land
the babies in the safety of a hospital truck.
I wonder if it shares the same concept?
