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.

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!
