Genres:Adventure, Indie, Shooter, Arcade
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Embodiment of Scarlet Devil features two playable characters to choose from, with two Spell Card types each. Reimu Hakurei can cover a wide area of the screen with weaker attacks, while Marisa Kirisame relies on her speed and power to make up for her thinner attack spread. The bombs show different behavior and damage depending on the character and type chosen. Unlike its predecessor, Mystic Square, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil comes with an "automatic item collection" feature, which allows you to collect all items on the screen by moving to the top of the screen if you are at full power, as well as a counter-bomb system, which allows you to avoid a fatal hit by using a bomb immediately. Though there are six total stages in the main game, playing on Easy will end the game after Stage 5.Show more

The first three Touhou games in the Windows era , Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002), Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom (2003), Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable Night (2004) are some of the most influential games from the Japanese doujin scene. They’ve become iconic in the danmaku shmup genre, and become the basis for thousands if not millions of fanworks from games, songs, illustrations, literature. They deserve to be preserved, and be more widely available. They’re an unforgettable, difficult, beautiful experience. I trust the GOG team will do these games justice.

The first Touhou danmaku related game I played 7 months ago. It was my introduction to the touhou characters after playing Hisoutensoku and it is totally worth it. Took me 2 weeks to 1CC this game lol
This is the first game for Windows. It is a mankind treasure. Not only that, but this game is also the best game in the mainline Touhou game. Anyone who would like to start playing bullet hell games should come to play this.
It's not the first Touhou game, but it's the most influential as it helped shaped how most of the main games would become (PofV and UDoALG are exceptions) .... that, and DMM, DLsite and Steam never cared about releasing the rest of the main Windows games. I think you guys are due for releasing a pic of Remilia and Johnny Silverhand giving them giant fingers...
Those games also need your vote!

MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century CombatYou are the genetically engineered Clan Mechwarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere. Join either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda against the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Take your advanced Omnimechs into battle against all comers. Win high warrior ratings (by using less mechs or smaller mechs than needed, completing secondary objectives, etc.) and you'll get chance at a promotion trial where you face superior odds in an arena. If you win, you advance in rank. If you are very successfully, you can make it all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan! Mechwarrior II was developed in-house by Activision as the successor to their original Mechwarrior. While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. You can customize your mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating. The full 3D environment wasn't pretty as this was before the 3D accelerators made their debut, but it's still better than anything that came before. Let addition of NetMech allowed users to fight each other online. When 3D cards came along, special versions were created to take advantage of 3D texturing. While not QUITE as replayable as Mechwarrior, it's nonetheless a classic. If you want them now, get the Titanium Edition, which is 3D accelerated.

MechWarrior 2: Arcade Combat Edition
MechWarrior 2: Arcade Combat EditionMechWarrior 2 gives you the chance to strap yourself into a 40-ton hunk of metal armed with a full arsenal of weapons and wreak havoc on a futuristic band of enemies. The game features eight brand new missions and 32 reworked versions of popular PC campaigns. At the outset of the game you can choose between the Wolf Clan and Jade Falcon squads, or opt for the "instant action" feature to jump right into the fray. No matter which route you take, be ready for some explosive action, as every mission calls for you to destroy something. The emphasis in the PlayStation version is shoot-em-up action, but fans of the PC version will still be able to trick out their mechanical monster to their heart's content. If you love mech games or you just want to deal out some damage, then you should check this game out.
