Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Famicom-style Remake

Posted by Derek Yu Thu, 17 Jan 2008 22:52:00 GMT

Some enterprising chap has recreated Touhou’s Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in a NES/Famicom style. The game actually works quite well this way and I have to admit that I got into it more than its source material. Unfortunately, at the beginning of stage 2 the game glitches out (in a very NES manner) and forces you to either restart or quit.

The game is only at version 0.11, so perhaps the rest of the levels are forthcoming. Either that, or it was only ever meant to be a short demo.

The game is created with Multimedia Fusion 2.

Caltrops has a rundown on Touhou Project (aka Shrine Maiden Project), the series popular “bullet hell” shoot ‘em ups by Team Shanghai Alice (aka the mysterious Zun)! (So popular, in fact, that people apparently drop big bucks on arcade cabinets to play them in!)

Michief Maker, the author of the article, gives a brief overview of each of the games, which is accompanied by a YouTube video of the game in action. At the end he provides some info on how to obtain full versions of these games online.
