Touhou PC98 Run - Highly Responsive to Prayers Part 1

[KaoxII]

Huh. I guess in this game you really do have to dodge rain sometimes.

[ViolinSnowKid2]

Can't believe in about five years Touhou will be 20 years old. Never knew it been around since 1996.

[Jorus271]

@ViolinSnowKid2 then the touhou wikia has to update their release date for the first game because it says on the wikia for touhou that highly responsive to prayers came out November 1992

[bakafairypwns]

and so the legend begins.

[tomol6]

this game is a month younger than me

[Voyd211]

Huh, reminds me of Breakout. Pretty different from the rest of the series.

[Extraintrovert]

And of course, this being ZUN, the very first music of the very first stage of the very first game is ridiculously spectacular. The man is a music god.

[dwab321]

Good Grief! A minute-long intro? Is that really necessary?

[SuperPresidentDead]

ZUN youre the man ;)

[superkeijikun]

HARRY UP!

[Kingofeurope]

How ironic that the series didn't even start out as a danmaku shooter, and now everybody's making spin-offs.

[UpsidePickle]

Hey, the boss theme is your intro theme!

[7TC7]

@UpsidePickle Have a cookie for your discovery. :)

[Magmetor7]

the wav music is much better than midi

[SonividSulegnaEkez]

Bet yall didn't know you can use bombs in this game!

To use bombs, you had to press the A and B buttons at the same time. (If you have the same setup I do, it's Z and X)

[7TC7]

Well, you lost that bet. I'm even using it in the run.

[matsuokenta1]

Yay the old touhou games.I like PoDD and MS of these.(And maybe the very first one too)

[MegaFan1994]

Wow, Touhou wasn't even an STG to begin with. It's like Breakout, but better.

[Naore12]

This is actually a very cool concept, and considering its time, its no wonder this game gained popularity so quickly. I see ZUN's digital music talents were always on par, too. :D

[Zarggg]

These are nice videos... the only issue I have is the the "intro" part of them are very long.

[DrMecha]

The very first TouHou game. Born on the Dawn of the Internet.

[Sercan1995]

lol, totle

[Lizzaroro]

Did they ever make a Shareware for this game?

[electron9186]

How did you get your PC-98 emu to display proper Japanese??? Because any Japanese letters that try do display on my screen end up being computer gibberish! (For example: Reimu's name is apparently "PML4!")

[7TC7]

I use microsoft applocale to open anex86

[RichterBelmontITA]

You need to download the font for Anex 68.

[tyetheczar]

I guess that Easy mode for HRTP is as much as a lot of us can stand. Any harder, it just gets cheaper. Hopefully the game doesn't require Normal or higher WITHOUT continuing.

[whatmatterss]

Non-directional translations has a patch for this game I think.

[444Taka444]

do you know where can i download this in english? :S

[7TC7]

Nowhere. People are trying to translate it at the moment, thought.

It's not, like there is so much text in this game anyways.

[zekk0ut]

yes u can!

piratebay(dot)org(slash)torren­t(slash)4339203(slash)Touhou

[zekk0ut]

i have to add that the game is translated poorly, though

[StrawberryMirror]

The music in here sounds...different than the one in my HRtP.

[7TC7]

That is, because my pc refused to record sound and I had to play thre music in afterwards. I guess this are the arranged versions from Mystic Square.

[VolkColopatrion]

ohhhh this is delightfully odd.

[Muvlonion]

i thought the touhou series were only danmakus, but this looks more like a breakout clone

[Synaesthesiae]

Yes. There's also vs-type shooter and fighting games in the touhou project.

[tyetheczar]

The Vs. Type shmup is actually derived from NeoGeo game Twinkle Star Sprites. That, from when I last used it was on GameTap.

[AnimeMariku]

Oh, HRtP isn't a shooter? I thought it was.

[ChaosMissile]

Nope! He's right, it's "Highly Responsive to Prayers". Irresponsive....does that mean Reimu isn't a Miko? Get your facts straight before you comment.

[OmegaWeaponX25]

Please forgive me for my retardedness with that comment but i was kinda frustrated and i thought: "Highly Responsive to Prayers?" My prayers was ignored" The game is downright unfair but that doesn't need i should bitch and moan about it. I take back what i said. The game is somewhat decent considering how that it is ZUN's first game and all.

[M8Ball90]

Maybe it was thanks to this that his later games became so good, I mean this could serve as a cornerstone to the later touhou games right? So if he didn't make this, maybe he shouldn't have made the other games ;o

[OmegaWeaponX25]

Why don't you all just forget i said that?

[MasterAsra]

I'm glad someone uploaded a video of these! Great job!

[No1RockLeet]

lol nice xd
