MHP! is the first game created by the doujin group "Dakken", which was in development roughly ten years ago back in 2000, and a sequel of sorts, "Magical Chaser ~Stardust of Dreams~", was made many years later in 2008. MHP! uses the FM95 engine and, for its time, was one of the better uses of the FM95 engine by a doujin group. It's primarily a fighting game combining characters from various "magical girl" and "anime/manga" franchises. Some of these are Ojamajo Doremi, Crayon Kingdom/Yume no Crayon Kingdom, Princess Comet, Fushigi Mahou Fun Fun Pharmacy, Di Gi Charat, Mahoujin GuruGuru (which there are several games of, most published by Enix). There are also a few cameo characters and characters with an unusual history like Ecoco.

Unlike many games developed with the FM95/FM2k engine, MHP! is not freeware and sales have long been discontinued for the game. Its case design mimicks that of a Dreamcast game, with a white and orange color scheme for the game's system requirements and for the spine card it comes with (as well as the English name on one insert flap and the Japanese name on the other).

The game features more characters than its successor, though they aren't as fine-tuned or balanced as those in MC (Ecoco for example can be really cheap) and the fighting just isn't as polished in general. Each character can execute your standard array of specials and super moves and execute a few combos here and there, but the controls require more timing than some FM games and the moves that can and can't be cancelled are a bit baffling. The audio/visuals are pretty good.

This is a video of it in action, showing some footage of Onpu Segawa fighting some characters (from retail version 1.2). Enjoy.
