Kamui, Ethervapor, and... Sort of Perfect Cherry Blossom. The music alone is reason for me to waste the retardedly easy game from time to time ^_^

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 2:23 am

1.) Parsec47
2.) Gunroar
3.) Blue Wish Resurrection - Accel Mode

Titanion would be on there if it wasn't for the jacked up scoring system (large chains are worth too much IMHO).

Dandy J · Post by **Dandy J** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 2:50 am

chorensha, zenichi, hellsinker, and the recent dark hell company games on higher difficulties

blue wish res is ok

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 3:00 am

1) sispri gauntlet final
2) airrade air
3) [blank]

Are any of these doujin shooters "arcade" quality? The reason I ask is that if they are developed for the PC platform (running through MS operating system and Direct X) then it would be easy to bring them into the actual arcade through a coin-op hardware like Taito "Type-X" or Sega "Lindberg" or other based on this platform. This is a possible way that these beautiful indie shooters could be released as coin-op games (maybe configured and tweaked accordingly)!

Just a thought!

I think Blue Wish Resurrection could be considered "arcade quality" based on who you ask

1) Shoot the Bullet
2) Shoot the Bullet
3) Shoot the Bullet

Uh, disregarding that...
1) Kamui
2) Cho Ren Sha
3) Every Extend

Amazingly, since 95% of doujins I've played are pretty terrible, since I've played soooo many doujins total, it's still really hard to narrow down to 3. I couldn't even include a Kenta Cho game like parsec47. So here are 3 possibly hidden gems doujins that I still find decent (although it's hard to tell which doujins are "famous" or not), and thus possibly actually help someone out.

1) Vacant Ark
2) Nomltest
3) Sky Swimmers' Heaven (demo)

The guy who made Vacant Ark (Buster, who AFAIK is not the Buster who made Akuji the Demon and Guardian of Paradise, those games blow IMHO) also has another good game. It's called Iwanaga and it's an Alien Soldier-like game. I've never heard a single other person mention either Vacant Ark or Iwanaga, so maybe my taste just sucks and these games deserve to be unknown.

crisis/divider: the time behind to her is slight (a crude minimalist version of raycrisis, read my impression here.)

@Dragon 1952

Trouble Witches IS of arcade quality.

You should have checked out the Offtopic section...Iwanaga has some beautiful art and is one hell of a game. Discussed here:

I haven't played enough doujins to give my opinion any weight, but here's three I really really liked that haven't been mentioned yet

- Bike Banditz
really pretty hori with some enemy design that kind of reminds me of mega man; make that mega man powered up, pretty cutesy

- Lunaria
Cotton + Cave + Caravan + Cookies = Cool

- Dreampainter (Hishoayu)
A nice well-rounded cute-em-up, love the panda clocks, and a nice mix of aimed fire and static patterns

freddiebamboo · Post by **freddiebamboo** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 5:57 pm

Blue Wish Res
Nomltest
ChoRenSha

MX7 · Post by **MX7** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 6:51 pm

Bbblue wish R
Cho Ren Sha
Eden's Edge

Normaly there would be at least one Touhou game on there, but i'm more into arcadey stuff recently.

In terms of sheer technical quality, Melty Blood has to be the "best" doujin. I know the SRK people scoff at MB, but oh well, I suck at fighters so I'm quite enjoying MB Act Cadenza. Ragnarok Battle Offline is also an officially released game, so French-Bread (the devs) has to be considered the most "successful" doujin circle.

Thanks!

LGB wrote:Now there is one I have not heard of. How dos that work?

Because it's relatively new? You know what Bike Banditz is, so Lunaria is a little caravan shmup from the same people. (Well, it could be caravan since it's just a demo, I dunno.) You can get it from the French-Bread page if it isn't down like it often is.

Since I'm talking an awful lot about French-Bread already in this post, I have to say the one doujin I really would like to play, but I haven't, is Lilian Fourhand.

Damocles · Post by **Damocles** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:19 pm

Gundemonium series

Hitogata Happa

Cho Ren Shak 68k

Shion · Post by **Shion** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:19 pm

-Imperishable Night (and the other Touhou games)
-Blue Wind Resurrection
-Tobi Tsukihime

All great quality games, especially the Touhou series. I have bonus respect for Touhou since all of it is made by one person.

Search youtube for Lunaria, AdigunPolack put up a good vid of the five minute mode

Is that the game that looks like Atomic Runner?
I want that one badly!

im a doujin luvah, so theres too many good doujins for me to chose from... but if i get to pick some, i'd say

1) touhou series
2) zen ichi
3) kamui

now, the place where i've put them, means nothing... is just to outline them, ok?.
