Epik win?? YES IT IS =D 5/5!

[suushi10]

what exactly is this Touhou project?

[TerraGamerX]

A large series of Vertical Scrolling Shooter games. The entire series has been made by a single developer ("ZUN"). It it a bullet hell/danmaku type, where the screen is more often loaded with bullets than there is empty space. It is more story-oriented than your average shooter, complete with some character development and an all female cast.

Except for MANnosuke, who dosen't even make an appearance in any game. Oh, and the half ghost half human gramps of Youmu.

[laughingfurry]

Then there is the old turtle, Genji.

[SLthePyro]

Genjii was actually in the 2nd official Touhou game, "Story of Eastern Wonderland." He served as Reimu's method of flight, as back then she didn't know how to fly on her own.

@mentaljosh123 and a turtle named Genji... and Socrates the cat...

hawt :3 hey do you know where i can play such a game?

[TerraGamerX]

Of course there isn't quite a location for playing it. Buying it is a slight challenge, but Touhou Wikia (touhou. wikia. com) has that info and everything else. Otherwise your preferred torrenting sources can give you Touhou Project.

[immeyouhe]

Hmm, how come they call it Touhou PROJECT? what does the project part mean?

[TerraGamerX]

Well, the "touhou" part isn't very creative naming either. It simply means "eastern" (or a little more accurately, "the Orient"). And "project" was written in plain English. The original name is written as "東方Project". The creator, ZUN, is quite fond of using English words.

Simply put, there is no serious logic behind the name. In reality, it is a terrible name. But the game series is still great.

ZUN was in college still, from my understanding, when he made the first game as a hobby.

[immeyouhe]

Oh..so you don't like the game? it looks pretty freaking intense, I say that because i saw a video called "Embodiment Of The Scarlet Devil Ultra" and I was like "HOLY CRAP!!" that game looks WAY too hard for me

[TerraGamerX]

Quoting a portion of my response you might have missed: "But the game series is still great."

I love Touhou Project. That's why I know so much about it. And that's why I'm willing to tell you so much.

I'm sure you'll have fun too if you ever get a chance to play it.

[immeyouhe]

Ohh, alright, thanks for all that information and for being so professional about it! :)

@TerraGamerX

actually there is a meaning it's a "joke" from zun himself where he gives the direction where you can find gensokyo.

[RockHumanDelta]
