Pooyan is a wonderfully fun and funny little game, with its almost obscenely cute little piggies and wolves.
But at its most basic, Pooyan is sliding shooter game turned at a 90-degree angle.
Pooyan, in Atari 2600 form, was the first attempt by arcade manufacturer Konami to infiltrate the home video game market - and it was one of the last, as the cartridge was released just in time for the great home video game industry crash.
Pooyan said that the ridgeback shrimp - the species used in his research - are reproductive four to five months out of the year.
However, using molecular biology techniques, Pooyan found that, in the ridgeback shrimp, yolk protein is synthesized in the hepatopancreas (shrimp liver) and ovary.
Pooyan said measuring the amounts of the yolk protein as well as its fluctuations is extremely important.
When they float upwards, they will attempt to push a large rock onto Pooyan, but if they are descending downwards, they will instead move up onto a ladder behind Pooyan, looking to try and bite him as he moves past their positions.
Once Pooyan returns, the Ravenous Dogs will be scaled back to no residents on the rungs behind the elevator, but with each loop of the levels, they will not all disappear after a death.
However, Pooyan will only be able to fire off Heavy Shots for his attacks, requiring him to collect a fresh one after every shot.
Armed with a bow and arrows and slabs of meat, mama pig must defend/save her piglets from the wolves ballooning up or down the cliff.
Pooyan was supposedly made with the intention of putting it in Chuck E Cheese's locations (perhaps it was even commissioned by CEC's?).

Along with the balloon-piercing arrows, beefy hunks of meat appear intermittently which mama may use to crush entire arcs of wolves as they waft their way through the air.
Pooyan features two varieties of shooting challenge and two mini-games which allow mama to score bonus points.
In Germany, the game was known as "Wolf und Schwein." The word "schwein" is a derogatory term that is used to refer to bastards and swine but is normally not used in everyday conversation unless the speaker wants a heaping of bodily harm.

The player takes on the role of a bow-and-arrow welding pig who must protect her piglets from the pack of hungry wolves ballooning up or down the cliff face.
Throw in a bow and arrow, some bonus stages, alternating levels and you've got yourself the makings of a classic arcade title.
Pooyan could easily have fallen into the Space Invaders or Defender clone category, but leave it to eccentric video game designers to produce a charming, challenging, and engaging contest despite the oversaturation of early '80's shooters.
But even still, Pooyan ranks slightly above average.
(C)Konami GAME CONCEPT One day, in the middle of a forest, a group of fierce Wolves attacked the House where a Mother Pig (Mama) and her little Piglets (Pooyans) were living together peacefully.
To protect her Pooyans, Mama fought back using arrows and bait, but despite all her efforts, some of the Pooyans were kidnapped.
Full of hate for the Wolves, Mama bravely seeks out the Wolves' Lair to rescue her Pooyans.

I voted Pooyan again, as I've played Dropzone a couple of times and am not really amused
Visit the SixtyFour Originals DataBase for a lot of scanned manuals and other games info.
The only game I played of these is Wizball but it ain't a favourite game of mine really, but a feeling inside me says that I probably prefer it to Pooyan and Dropzone.
