@Moosader@mastodon.gamedev.place @raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place Mystia's Izakaya is another good example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1584090/Touhou_Mystias_Izakaya/
3rd-party games routinely blow the production quality of the original top-scrolling shooters out of the water. (my response to playing one of the mainline Touhou games was "seriously? this is what all the fuss is about?")

@vyr@princess.industries @Moosader@mastodon.gamedev.place depends on what kind of game you like, the mainline touhou games are in general fantastic (especially with how they sync to the music). You do have to somewhat remember though that the popular ones are also quite old now, the first 5 are PC98 games originally and came on giant floppy disks, the next 5 were fairly early win98/winxp games. At the time the only other game that was really even comparable was DonPachi but that was arcade only, not home pc.
