Has anyone played doujin soft shmups?
Manre Boo:
I am big fan of these. Got own section in hyperspin for this kind of games. Last week I finished dling pack of over 400 Doujin games. Got next week free from work so might got time to finally sort out fighters and shmups and other stuff. :cheers:
Only downside is that usually text is japanese. Still menu screens and options are luckily pretty often english, or at least understandable. There are some sick videos on youtube, try search words: bullet hell.

The particular Touhou game that I mentioned (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil) was translated to English, so there's a patch out there that makes everything "readable". Also, what's cool about it (not sure if this is true in other Touhou type games) is that there is a button that "slows" you down so that you can dodge more accurately when needed. Very cool.
See Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in action here:
By the way ... this video is SICK! Bullets are crazy!

We had one of the Touhou 2 player games running on my cabinet last year at Quakecon 2009. It was a BLAST to play. I have since collected the whole Touhou series of games and will eventually get them setup on my cabinet.
These Doujin ones look great too.

Nice! Tohou looks great
One word of warning for the Doujin games though.. I found this great thread that had a bunch of these games, but had files that were detected as trojans. So if you download make sure it's from a safe source.
emphatic:
Blue Wish Resurrection and the other games from this guy: http://www004.upp.so-net.ne.jp/x_xgameroom/Works/works.html are all very good. And totally free.
Joystick support + keyboard controls (arrow keys, z=fire1(hold for focus shot) x=bomb c=full auto).
