Pooyan is the official Coco version of the arcade game by Konami. It features multi-voice music, most of the sequences from the original arcade game, and can be played by 1 or 2 players, and also with either the keyboard or the joystick. On the first level, you have to shoot down the wolves as they descend on balloons, filling up the windows in the piglets house behind you, where they can bite you as you travel by. On the second level, they ascend on balloons that take up to 3 hits to pop, until enough of them gather on the top to push a rock onto you. There are also bonus levels where the wolves hurl fruit and vegatables at you, which you try to shoot for bonus points. Actually a very fun game.
