Touhou

[SleepyD]

NOt exactly an official manga, but i'm reading a lot of TOUHOU doujin.

Good, good... Touhou is good for you! ^^
* looks his avatar *
So it's not that unknown that I had thought...

so... it seems that there's a sizable number of you guys that play it.
I'm a newb to the Touhou stuff, so any info for a newb will be greatly appreciated. :3  I'm still getting used to the game. (currently playing perfect cherry blossom)


I'll make this a touhou thread, so you can talk about touhou anything. ^^

[Gummster]

What is this Touhou everyone talks of?
Please, I am indeed more then willing to know.

Okay, some links, first:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou (Wikipedia link, good for basic information)

http://pooshlmer.com/touhouwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (The Wiki dedicated to the series, very rich in information)

http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php (A forum dedicated to the series)

http://www.hongfire.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=148 (HongFire's Touhou club section)

I hope that's enough for starters...

OOOKay......i'm not really an old fan of Touhou, i haven't even play any game because i don't know yet where i can get (or download) the game.

I know Touhou from the doujin at poolshimer/wiki and this site : http://www.freewebs.com/aortic/touhou.htm

If any of you have the link to the site that provide free or trial game....please let me know....i really want to play it.

When I discovered Touhou, it was a fantastic experience!
Great games, not too long (good if you have to study ), magnificent music, an enormous amount of great high-level doujins...
But they are not only pure high quality: they are also really really difficult!
And this is really important! As a gamer, I don't like the lack of challenges in the last generation games.. it's difficult to find something really hard to finish, but at the same time, really entertaining! Well, Touhou is difficult, very difficult, but entertaining!

So try it and spread the word! ^^

It's always good to know if there are more and more Touhou players! ^^ Even though I'm not a great gamer (1 continue clearing is difficult), but I still like the series very much because of the musics, the great variety of characters, the well-made world, the doujins... hard to say it all ^^ It has a different feeling for me than most of the other shoot 'em ups.

I think Touhou's great. I have all the games that have come out including some of the games not created by ZUN himself like Touhou Hana or Marisa Land or Super Marisa etc. etc.

I haven't beat all of them yet, just Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Immaterial and Missing Power, but I'll be happy to help walk you through those or the others to the extent I know or help you out with it. Especially if you're playing as Sakuya.

[redrackham]

Okay....i really love the Touhou dojin and after i watch some MAD video and several touhou video on youtube.....i really want to play the game....

The problem are :
1. I don't have credit card (if i have to buy it), and i don't know where i can  buy it...
2. In my place, japan pc games are very rare. The common japan games are  Hentai simulation games....
3. If i have to download it (if it's free), i don't know where i can get that.......

SO, if anyone can help me find touhou games, please help me.......

EDITED :
I have solve the problem, a member in this forum gave the link to me just a while ago....now, i'm trying to beat Shoot the Bullet game.....have some tips or tricks ? I'm new in playing touhou game and i haven't even clear stage 1 since i don't know how to shoot...-_-

Yes, side games are really funny (and challenging, like a Touhou game should be =) ), Super Marisa World makes good references to the old Mario games...

Heh, a Sakuya player. =D In IaMP, I use Sakuya too (she was the first char I ever used in a Touhou game, because IaMP was my first Touhou game).

[Shateiel]

In Shoot the Bullet press Z to take a picture and C to focus and charge up the camera faster. Standard controls for a Touhou game. No player spell cards to make use of X, though.

Ah, yes, I certainly am a proud Sakuya player. Nothing like barraging an opponent with torrents of knives. It seems a lot of people do start out with IaMP, but I started right with the old C64 Highly Responsive to Prayers and tried them out all in order.

OI! Stop shutting others out of the discussion! Where can i find these beauties???

[SleepyD]

i have since forgotten where I got Touhou.  It's just been sitting here on my hard drive doing nothing until now. XD;;

I'm sure some members here know. ^^

in any case, I must really suck at this game cuz I'm getting pwned at stage 3/4 on EASY in The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. XD;;;

[Xeon]
