It's great that Namco makes and/or publishes these great games. Ah, so you like Touhou, do you? Well, Hotheart123 is a pretty big fan, as well. The Touhou Project games played a huge role in my childhood. I first heard of the game when I was over at a friend's house and he had one of the games. I actually grew up playing games from the golden era through Namco Museum compilations and Virtual Console games that me and my brother got ourselves or as gifts. I was interested in arcade games so I decided to give it a try.

Shortly after I started playing it, Touhou drew me in quickly. Of course, I was awful at it because I had never played a game of the bullet hell genre before, but I knew there was probably something special. Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was actually the first Touhou Project game I ever played (I still have it to this very day on my former 2011 Acer Aspire X3950-U3022. I stopped using that computer right after I got my new 2018 Dell G7 15 two weeks ago.).

Platformers and bullet hell shooters were some of my favorite genres in gaming. Shortly after I beat Touhou 6 for the first time, I started getting and playing more Touhou games, Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom became my all-time favorite in the series. I knew when I started studying game design in my youth was I wanted to make bullet hell games in the future, and I am currently developing one right now, in the style of the golden age of Namco arcade games.
