If you can find it, there's an obscure DOS game called Sideline that's worth checking out...

Doujin shmups are what I'm looking for. I did mention Trouble witches already. I think the PC version is the best version.

I haven't looked around much for PC shmups.

From a quick gaze, some of the Raiden and Shikigami no Shiro games have ports. Raystorm and Raycrisis are out there too. Apparently even Darius Gaiden.
Lum fan.

I used to love Major Stryker and Raptor: Call of the Shadows, two DOS classics.

Major Stryker is now freeware and you can still buy Raptor from 3D Realms.

But honestly, I prefer consoles for shmups. I like using a controller!
