Baby Boomer was one of Color Dreams' earliest game releases, as well as one of their better games. The game features several challenging stages in which you must guide Boomer to his mother. Baby Boomer is a highly recommended light-gun game.
At one point, Ron Risley ported this game from NTSC to PAL. A PAL version was complete, though it was unfortunately never marketed.
Little known fact (#1): According to Jim Meuer, "Baby Boomer actually started out as Baby Blaster. I liked it better because it implied more action and excitement and it was more descriptive for a light gun game. Dan Burke did the original artwork as Baby Blaster. (If you are in contact with Dan Burke, could you ask him if he still has the "Rambo style" original artwork? I would love a copy of it.) I was in my 20's back then and didn't think about all the mothers that would interpret the name as blasting babies. Anyhow the name was changed to Baby Boomer."
Little known fact (#2): Jim also commented that "Baby Boomer was Color Dream's first game. I developed it with Dan Lawton as a test program to develop a hardware emulator board that we used to develop the early games."
Little known fact (#3): Steve Burke (Dan's brother) did the box art for Baby Boomer while Dan did the lettering for the box. Steve mentioned "That drawing was definitely an unforgettable
experience. I drew it at my dad's house and at the time the house was
bursting with fleas from his two dogs. So I was batting away the vile things
constantly and I can only say it must have affected my work."
Cartridge is available with a blue case only.
