i am seeking 2 nes games which i played when i was young. i can't remember the names but i know a bit how they where. first game is a billiard game. the things i remeber are when you aim with the cue there are white dots moving away from the white ball and when you prepairing for a hit there is a coin on the upper side of the screen moving left and right showing the strengh you hit the ball with. there are also bonus rounds where you only have 1 hit to beat them and there are objects on the table (glassware?) which you are not allowed to hit. in the second game you are a firefighter or something like that. but you actually controll guys with a trampoline on the bottomn which throw the firefighter up agains fires in houses. you must slack all fires in the house and rescue the people (?) to beat the level. both games where really cool but i can't remember their names >.< maybe someone of you knows them?

The second one sounds a lot like an old PC game where you rescued babies falling from a house on fire, by moving around a trampoline on the street, bouncing them into an ambulance, I think. I don't remember the name. There was a Game & Watch game (Fire!) of a similar concept. If you really bounced around the firefighter himself, I'm out of ideas.

Now, that I do know. Bouncing Babies. That was my first thought as well, but, well, it's not quite what's being described...

Second game is Flying Hero (J) The game is fun to play, maybe even good to TAS (there's some variety + warp items as in Arkanoid)
