Pooyan

arcade game for Commodore 64, 1983

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use Control Port 1.

In Pooyan, you play the role of a pig, protecting its piglets from wolves.

The first screen takes place near the pigs' home. Mrs. Pig rides up and down
in a cable car, shooting at wolves, who are riding balloons downward, towards
the ground. If the wolves land safely on the ground, then they can climb a
ladder, near the cable-car, and catch Mrs. Pig. But if she shoots their
balloons, they splat on the ground instead.

The wolves shoot acorns at the pig. But Mrs. Pig has a food based weapon too.
If she gets to the top, she can get meat, to toss at the wolves and make them
jump off their balloons in pursuit. Each wolf taken out this way is worth
bonus points (on a doubling scheme: 400, 800, 1600...)

The second scene takes place at the wolves lair. Here the wolves have
reinforced balloons--it takes multiple hits to make them fall. Here they
float upwards toward a big rock, which they push on top of Mrs. Pig, when
seven wolves are present. Additionally, an alpha wolf (wolf leader) appears
and summons wolves in packs.
