From KLOV:
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. Move up and down, shoot the balloons, watch the wolves plummet and splat. There are various bonus rounds.
The story revolves around a family of little pink piglets who have been attacked and/or captured by a monstrous pack of hungry wolves. The mama pig, who was not attacked or captured attempts to save and/or protect her chubby little family. Armed with a bow and arrows and slabs of meat, she jumps into a cage that moves up and down on a rope. Meanwhile, the wolves use helium balloons to float down from a tree limb while throwing rocks at Mama. Mrs. Pig tries to shoot their balloons with her arrows so the wolves will fall to their deaths or she hurls slabs of meat at them to make them let go. If she misses, the wolves will safely reach the ground and climb a ladder to try to bite her.
Also, if any of the wolves reach the ground, more piglets will be captured by them. So Mrs.Pig must try to kill as many wolves as possible without letting them reach the ground.
On the second level, the wolves use balloons to float to the top of a high cliff. If enough of them reach the cliff, they will push a huge boulder down onto Mama's cage. After this level has been completed, the piglets who have been captured are rescued and the game starts over with increased difficulty.
There is also a bonus round where Mrs. Pig will attempt to eliminate as many wolves on ascending balloons as possible by throwing as few slabs of meat as possible for a maximum bonus score.

HanoiBoi:
Earlier today, I was thinking of picking something more 'obscure' that I find enjoyable to play in short bursts, like Nato Defense, Navarone , Rip Off or Hole Land. Then I came up with a list of games that I was sure had probably been selected previously, but surprisingly were not (Donkey Kong Junior, Congo Bongo, Journey, Kangaroo) but ended up selecting Pooyan as I believe it is more likely to be 'newer' to some players and thus more equally competitive. Plus, it's pretty fun.
I'm no ringer - that's not why I selected it - so you probably won't see me too much on the scoreboard.
Best of luck!

Let the Poo jokes begin!
I like Nato defense as well! Have you played Thief? It's made by the same company. I like it a little bit more.

The voices in Nato Defense are very amusing! Quality voice acting there!
I may have played thief...(wondering if that's the one where do drive around on streets, then go into buildings, then back out to street?)
Oh, and I also like Kix. Even saw them at Hammerjacks back in the day. My nick is also band related, in case you weren't aware. (Sometimes I figure people just assume I'm from Hanoi..)

OK - might as well start things off so at least I was leading at some point :laugh2: -- 41,400
