 == Dogyuun ドギューン!! ==
 '''''Dogyuun''''' (ドギューン!!) is a vertical [[shooting game]] developed and published by [[Toaplan]] in 1992, and one of the few titles created by the company that has not received any ports to home platforms to date. It is set on a fictional planet called '''Dino''', where the player faces off against a race of robotic aliens holding the planet hostage. The player ship in ''Dogyuun'' is known as the '''Sylfer''', and is equipped with a tractor beam that can grab smaller enemies and item containers and carry it with them. There are four weapons and two modules for the player to take advantage of, as well as a unique ship upgrade mechanic that is only available when two players are tagged in.

 The best scores in ''Dogyuun'' involve '''optimizing movement''' in order to '''hold onto objects with the tractor beam''' for as long as you can, picking up a new object as soon as possible, and destroying as many destructible objects as possible. A significant amount of score comes from putting together an '''optimal route''' for collecting the '''+5000pts items''' during the '''high-speed section''' at the start of '''Stage 3'''.
-Each loop of the game '''increases the overall score potential''' (including the automatic score gain from tractor beaming objects).
+Each loop of the game '''increases the overall score potential''' (including the automatic score gain from tractor beaming objects), with points earned being quadrupled in loop 2, then doubled for each subsequent loop. As such, an enemy worth '''100''' points in loop 1 would be worth '''400''' points in loop 2, '''800''' in loop 3, and '''1600''' in loop 4.

 Due to the a combination of the design of the '''tractor beam''''s bonus point mechanic, various [[safespot]]s in boss encounters, and [[boss time-out|bosses not timing out]], it is possible to achieve several different [[counter-stop]]s in ''Dogyuun''. Some bosses can be rendered '''completely defenseless''' via boss part destruction, or have places on the screen that they are unable to hit the player at. When holding an object with the tractor beam in one of these situations, it's possible to leave the game untouched from that point on, and eventually acquire '''huge amounts of points, forever'''. The automatic point gain from the tractor beam is also increased in subsequent loops, making the strategy particularly lucrative in the third or fourth loops of the game.
-This is most easily done against the Stage 4 boss, for which you have to destroy one claw before moving to one of the top corners of the screen, as well as the Stage 7 boss, for which you simply have to move to one of the top corners of the screen at the start of the fight. Any other boss would require constant dodging, making the infinites not viable in the long run, but these two bosses require absolutely no effort aside from the initial setup, and the player could leave the game run for hours without touching it to achieve the desired score.

 Players aiming to record their high scores on public leaderboards are discouraged from using these sorts of exploits to earn points.
