NOTE: the regular scroll parts of the video have been fast forwarded, the boss parts are played at normal rate… 

The footage itself is incredible, but what’s even crazier is that that game, Touhou, was made by one extremely driven individual that goes by the name of ZUN. He created the art, music, design and code for several amazingly high quality shooters. From what i’ve read, he then sells them at Comicket (a huge amateur comic convention in Japan). Well they are hugely succesful and he has gained a cult-like following… anyway here are a bunch of links if you want to download the demos or learn more about ZUN and/or his works…
