Bouncing Babies is a game where the main aim is to try and save babies that are jumping out of a burning building. To do this you control two fire fighters (with the number keys: 1 = left, 2 = middle, 3 = right, or the arrow keys) that have some sort of trampoline, which they use to bounce babies into an ambulance.
There are many elements at work to make you want to give up, such as the music that plays when a baby bounces (it's like the siren of an ambulance), or the challenging gameplay. The graphics may look bad/dated, but don't be fooled by that! This game will test your reflexes as it's extremely challenging, and even getting past level 3 is a massive accomplishment.
Even though the game is very annoying at times (well most of the time), it's very addictive. I'm going to give it a 3.5 out of 5 since I keep coming back to it (mainly because I'm trying to beat my own high score), and each time, I play it for around an hour.
If you run the game through bbabies.exe, you need to decrease the cycles to 200-300 to at least have a chance. You don't need to change the default cycles if you run it through bbabiesp.com. The latter is recommended.
There are two executable files in the folder. BBabies.exe is the original exe, which is unplayable, unless you start it with DOSBox. BBabiesp.com is a patched executable, which makes the speed the same as on the original DOS systems (you can find more info on it in the txt file from the archive). It's recommended to use the second. The game can be played in all environments, from pure XP to DOSBox and VDMSound. Although, the only way to get rid of the annoying PC Speaker sounds is to use DOSBox. Have fun!
