Coryoon is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game released in 1991 for the PC Engine by Naxat Soft.

In Coryoon, you assume the role of a young dragon-presumably with a titular name-as you fly through eight different stages in order to rescue a princess who has been transformed into a little girl and kidnapped by a mysterious evil. Each stage's theme is generally represented by its mini-boss and boss at the middle and end of the level, respectively. The worlds are as colorful as picture books, and the difficulty level itself is relatively low (e.g., Coryoon himself has a forgiving hitbox, the player gets numerous extra lives (up to 9) simply for beating a boss, etc.).

When the game begins, the player has 5 lives and a "vulcan"-like dragon breath weapon that can fire up to three shots on screen at once. If the player refrains from pressing the firing button for around five seconds, Coryoon will charge up his dragon breath and can fire a large piercing shot. The player can change Coryoon's dragon breath depending on which power-ups are picked up, up to three tiers of increasing effectiveness. There are also support-type power-ups, similar to Options or the "!" in Gradius, or the Bits in R-Type.
