Day I Met a Bear" can be heard during the opening scene (in which the wolves kidnap Mama's babies). The first stage theme bears a very slight resemblance to the main theme music from Frogger, another Konami arcade game.

After the second stage is cleared a second time, a part of "Oh! Susanna" can be heard. Ports Datasoft released Pooyan programmed by Scott Spanburg for the Atari 8-bit family and Commodore 64 in 1983.
