2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Pooyan is the official CoCo version of the arcade game by Konami. It features multi-voice music, most of the sequences from the original arcade game, and can be played by 1 or 2 players, and also with either the keyboard or the joystick. On the first level, you have to shoot down the wolves as they descend on balloons, filling up the windows in the piglets house behind you, where they can bite you as you travel by. On the second level, they ascend on balloons that take up to 3 hits to pop, until enough of them gather on the top to push a rock onto you. There are also bonus levels where the wolves hurl fruit and vegetables at you, which you try to shoot for bonus points. Actually a very fun game.
