As the title says. What's your favourite touhou game?

PS: If you have no idea what those numbers behind the games mean, don't bother asking, you might or might not find out soon enough.


EDIT:

Added 12.3, 12.5, 12.8 and 13

Voted Imperishable Night. I actually like Embodiment of Scarlet Devil better but Imperishable Night is the best polished Touhou game, I especially like the spell practice mode.

It's hard for me to choose the favourite one from IaMP, IN, PoFV and SWR. (>_<")
I guess I'll just go with IN as I have played that one the most probably. IaMP, PoFV and SWR are so awesome when you play them with your friends through netplay.

We need to get some IaMP netplay going.

It's been a long time and I probably suck now, but I'm willing to fight anyone. :)

I have to agree to this, though voting with reversed roles. I'm voting for Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

I voted Imperishable Night, partially because it was the one that got me addicted to Touhou (don't get me wrong I was playing Touhou before that though, just not as frequently).

Though I do like Mountain of Faith's new bomb system.

I have to say Imperishable Night. Though the difficulty curve from easy to normal is rather intense, it is a lot easier than the other games and more fun to play if your a casual gamer and you don't have a lot of time to grind to the higher difficulties.

if i had to pick a close second it would have to be Perfect Cherry Blossom. the battles are more intense than Imp. Nights, and other than Scarlet Devil you can actually get somewhere on easy. only problem is that the difficulty curve on EASY is akin to running into a brick wall if you never played before which is the main reason why i picked Imp. Night as first.

been playing these games irregularly for maybe 4-5 months and I'm still on easy lol.

I've played them. They're pretty difficult. :( but yeah, they were fun. Just.. dated.

IaMP is fun, but I don't see it being a favorite haha. Even for a fighting game nut like myself.

Yeah, they're awsome. Just they that kill my eyes when using bombs is the only bad part, but it's not that hard without bombs in 1-5 so it's alright.

I voted for Mountain of Faith... though probably Phantasmagoria of Flower View (Because of a certain half ghost half human) would have been my next pick. I only picked MoF because I think the projectile patterns are frikking gorgeous, and I haven't gotten past level two yet -_-; The only thing I miss is that it doesn't keep track of Grazes anymore... I liked knowing I very nearly died 247 times through the level. :D Oh... another pro for this game was the options, up to four of them, moar firepower = me happy.

I voted Imperishable Night, because Yuyuko & Youmu are playable (even if I sucks with them) and it is the very first touhou I 1cc, I love the story which is an adaptation of "the tale of the bamboo cutter" the story of the princess Kaguya :) & the last word spell card are so wonderfu and hard to unlock & pass

I love touhou 4 Lotus Land story too, because of the epic musics (Love Bad apple, Casket of Star, Sleeping Terror, Inanimated Dream...) and the pattern are very fun to dodge, the normal mode is easy to 1cc and Yuka is so moe .........

Gonna have to go with Imperishable Night. The setup of that game was just really well done, with the team battles, unlocking solo mode, a great variety of characters, good music (as always) and just a wide variety of play in general. Perfect cherry blossom was also really fun and would probably take second place for me, you can't argue with temporary invulnerability ;)

Phantasmagoria of Flower View takes third place, I liked the rather unique play style of it, going head to head against another character. It also seemed a lot less difficult then some of the others, but that may have been because I had a good deal of experience by the time I got around to tackling it.

As for 1-5, I had problems getting the emulator to work, so I never got a chance to play them.

Hmm, I may have to try them again then. I got it in a pack with an emulator supplied, but I was never able to get it to load the games properly. I've since deleted it, so I can't give an exact error, but I wanna say it just popped up with a runtime error message box, even after I fiddled around with a variety of compatibility modes. Meh.

All you need to do is the following (assuming you got the one from simulation/doujinstyle):

Run the emulator.
You will see 2x FDD and 2xHDD
Now you don't need the FDD part, just click on the [...] @ hdd1 or 2.
Select one of the games.

Right below that part you will see a box saying HDD to FDD.
Check the box.

Press on start.

That's all. =)

My first game was Highly Responsive to Prayers.. I remember getting that 5-game nec pc98 pack and then playing it at a LAN party when I lost the game. Back then I was still using Linux so it was nice to be able to play it on wine.

Then I just forgot about it after some time. And then came the touhou craze @@' I went on with Embodiment then just went further. When Phantasmagoria was out it was multiplayer-able xD It was so nice playing it with my friend. I think that left most memories. Of course IaMP was multi-able as well but I kinda suck at fighting games orz it was fun though, I'd vote for it if not for being beaten everytime I chose my fav char Patchu :(

I think Touhou7.5 is the best (2nd is Perfect cherry blossom)

I think 10.5 is support counter attack and hard to play attack mode +_+

This is a close one between all of the current-gen games, but I have to say that IN is the absolute epitome of Touhou, as well as danmaku in general. It simply does everything right.

I've tried Phantasmagoria and while it is fun. It's feels a bit different from the other games.

Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom are the ones I play the most often. But I really like Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil...so it's hard for me to choose.

I need help... I got the IaMP from the website and as fighter-kei person I love how unique it is and so far my favorite Touhou. However I don't know how the patches work. There seems to be an additional fighter in ver 1.11 but after i download the patch and install it, and click on the shortcut the computer says it can't be played.. am i doing something wrong?

However, I still like Perfect Cherry Blossom more.

Oh, and it was my first Touhou game. <3

Perfect Cherry Blossom. For the music, the bosses, Sakuya... And Yuyuko who is the best final boss I've ever seen in a game.

(yeah, she's definitively more cool than Xemnas himself! <33)

SWR(10.5), I just love those 2D fighting games xD
If I had to choose between the shooters, I'd say Imperishable Night though.
Was cool because you could choose to play as pairs, the music was cool and the atmosphere was nice...well that's the case for almost all of these games, but whatever. xD
