Gameplay.

Baby Boom is a cancelled 1994 puzzle Sega Genesis video game developed by Sega Technical Institute (rumored) and published by Sega. The game is set in the New Year's Eve 1999, where you play as an individual who is paid to murder hundreds of infants to control the population. The game was shown at the 1994 European Computer Trade Show and was scheduled for December 1994 release but was cancelled, likely due to its core themes of mass infanticide, contracted murder, and aggressive population control.

The three prototype builds of this game were leaked in the Hidden Palace forums by drx in February 23, 2008 (the links are now dead). In August 2015, more information of the game was found in a Ebay auction[1].
