Baby's Day Out is a cancelled video game based on the 1994 movie of the same name that was developed by Designer Software and published by Hi Tech Entertainment and originally scheduled for release in October 1994. It was fully completed and ready to be released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy, but was cancelled at the last minute for unknown reasons.

Gameplay

Instead of Bink, the player controls what appears to be Bink's guardian angel that helped Bink to stay away from the kidnappers, which never appeared in the film.

Status

In November 2014, a copy of the Game Boy port was sold on eBay. Only prototypes of the Genesis and Game Boy versions have been found, but unlike the Game Boy version, two Genesis prototypes have appeared online and are available for download on several ROM sites. No known prototypes or final builds of the SNES version have resurfaced.
