I remember playing this game as a child. Mom kept nagging at me to put down the console. I am a young game programmer now and just started programming my first iPhone game that was inspired by Pooyan. Do check my website ~ Arachnid Studios (Available on 220111 in the App Store)P.S. google it
I loved this game - and I love how many of the old C64 games featured these primitice computer versions of well known pieces of classical music, so that today when I hear various pieces of classical music, it makes me think of the C64 games where I first heard it.
There was a blatant knock-off also for the C64, called "Pigs in Space", that used a similar concept, except that the wolves deployed off a conveyor belt, and you could get out of the elevator at the bottom to rescue a captive. Also, I think at least one Neopets game spoofed this!
Good playable Version of Pooyan. Also great is the music. But i think the Grafic could be a little bit better. The C64 can do much prettier Graphics. The Tree is verry easy animated. I think the C64 have enough power to have graphics nearer to the original Arcade Pooyan.
1. There are just these two alternating levels, I guess. Well, to be honest, I do not know for sure.
2. I think it has no purpose, it's just an attempt of realistic graphics. It must be some kind of a branch. I guess games before this had no such clever graphical features.

It's really annoying it is right on the tip of my brain. I have played it a few times on the piano but I just can't get the composer at the moment!

1. Was there an ending to this game (other than losing all your lives)?
2. Was there a purpose of that ledge at the opposite end of the screen?

This game was bizarre. Was it based off of some Chinese legend?
