Dogyuun

Released by Toaplan in 1992, *Dogyuun* is a vertical-scrolling shooter that pushes the company’s signature hardcore, high-speed gameplay to its limits. Its most distinctive feature is an ingenious system that allows players to capture enemy ships using a powerful "Magnet Arm" deployed in front of their craft, which can then be used to perform simultaneous attacks or trigger power-ups. The intense battles, brought to life through vivid, multi-colored graphics and a heavy-hitting soundtrack, captivated many fans during the golden age of arcades. As one of the definitive pinnacles of Toaplan’s shooting games, this passionate masterpiece continues to be talked about to this day.

At the International Defense Force headquarters located on Planet Lagoon 104, a special military unit called "ISM" was formed to prepare for alien attacks. One day, an incident occurred in which colleagues on a scouting mission were ambushed by mysterious mechanical lifeforms. To rescue their surviving comrades and avenge those who were struck down, the pilots of the new fighter jets launch a desperate counterattack.
