Baby Boom is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD, and Sega Game Gear action puzzle game developed by Foley Hi-Tech[1] and scheduled to be published by Sega around late 1994.[2] Originally conceived by the Sega Girls Task Force as one of the earliest Sega games designed firstmost for a female-audience, concerns with the game's control scheme and entertainment value eventually led to the project's formal cancellation.
While the Mega-CD and Game Gear versions were likely undeveloped, the Mega Drive version processed a considerable amount into its production, and eventually had ROM images of its numerous prototypes discovered and dumped for preservation.[5]

Gameplay
Baby Boom puts players in control of a ceiling-mounted mechanical arm which can swing all around the playfield, challenging them to pick up and safely corral a large group of babies as they unpredictably wander about the numerous stages. Sometimes the babies appear in circular baby walkers, or wearing distinctive clothing like baseball caps, and overall boast a surprising variety of appearances.
There is also a diaper changing minigame.
