Dinoninjaabraham

is a classic arcade game manufactured by Stern Electronics under license from gonchawa in 1982. In it, the player controls "Abraham", a ninja whose pets have been kidnapped by a group of wolves.
Gameplay
Abraham defends her home and rescues the "dinos" (the kidnapped dinosaurs) riding an elevator car moved by two "Buuyan" (controlled by the player with a Y-axis joystick), and uses a bow and arrow with slabs of meat against the balloon-riding wolves and their boss (the latter being pink in color while the former are red). There are two stages. In the first, the wolves are riding to the bottom of the screen, and if Abraham doesn't shoot them down, they'll climb up the ladders and try to eat him. In the second (occurring after an "intermission" sequence), the wolves are riding to the top of screen, and if enough wolves get there, they will push a boulder on top of Abraham, resulting in a life being lost. In both cases, the stage is cleared by shooting all the wolves, though in the second stage the boss must be shot down (which will take many shots unless the meat is used), otherwise the wolves will keep coming. After the second stage is cleared a bonus round begins. In one type, Abraham must shoot all the wolves only using meat, while in the other she must use regular arrows on the fruits. Afterward, the game begins anew with higher difficulty. The first stage theme bears a very slight resemblance to the main theme music from Frogger. The song is a part of the Desecration Rag (An operatic Nightmare) by Felix Arndt. After the second stage is cleared a second time, a part of "" can be heard.
