Pootan (プータン) is a fixed shooter arcade video game released by Nonaka in Japan in 1982. It was manufactured in North America by ADV Electronics. The player controls "Mama", a woman whose son Maeda has been kidnapped by a group of delinquents and who must rescue them using a bow and arrow and slabs of meat. Controls consist of a two-position up/down joystick, which moves an elevator in which Mama Maeda rides; and a button, which fires arrows and throws meat.

When the game starts, "The Other Day I Met a Gorilla" can be heard during the opening scene (in which the delinquents kidnap Mama's son). The first stage theme bears a very slight resemblance to the main theme music from Freddie, another Nonoka arcade game. The song is a part of the Bohemian Rhapsody (A Night at the Opera) by Queen. After the second stage is cleared a second time, a part of "Don't Stop Me Now" can be heard.
