Deteacher Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) 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 ballons as possible by throwing as few slabs of meat as possible for a maximum bonus score.

Kurt_Woloch Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Wait a minute... there's a mistake in here. The screenshot on the opening post shows a Stern copyright, but the "Pooyan" Romset shows "Konami". Edited July 29, 2009 by Kurt_Woloch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt_Woloch Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 OK, I've used the "pooyan" romset now, with default settings (deleted pooyan.cfg to achieve this). I hope this is the correct set with the correct DIP switch settings... My best so far... 118850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 OK, I've used the "pooyan" romset now, with default settings (deleted pooyan.cfg to achieve this). I hope this is the correct set with the correct DIP switch settings... My best so far... 118850. I'll change the pic. There were two there. I grabbed the wrong pic. From what it looked like, the Konami ROMset is the parent ROM (larger file) so that's the one I went with. The link in the first post is to the Konami set. As soon as I can get back into KLOV, I'll change the pic. In the meantime, I'll take down the title pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) I'm going to post my score for this game, but it won't count for any points. I just thought I'd add to the competitiveness. 226,000. P.S. The Konami Title Screen has been added to the first post. KLOV was down for some time and I just managed to get on and grab the pic. Sorry for any confusion. Edited August 1, 2009 by Deteacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
