Yahoo! News - Jackson Baby-Dangling Exploits Spawn Video Game
BERLIN (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's baby-dangling exploits have spawned a new video game in which the player has to catch babies in a basket as a cartoon version of the popstar hurls them from a rooftop.

Actually, if I remember right, back in the early days of MS-DOS (think late 80s) there was a game where babies were being thrown out of a burning building, and you had to move the firefighters carrying a trampoline side to side to bounce the babies into the waiting ambulance. The graphics were cheesy 4 or 16 color (I don't remember if it required a CGA or EGA card) and reminded you of the early days of arcade games (back when 256 colors at 640x480 was very hi-resolution). Heck, the game could be have been called "baby bounce" or something silly like that. I'd have to locate an old copy of the Public Brand Software catalog, or maybe dig through the old CompuServe libraries (if they still exist).
