Touhou Project

東方Project (Touhou Project) is an OTL series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made for PC-98 and Windows, all made by Team Shanghai Alice (which has only one member: ZUN); though also has 3 fighting games made in collaboration with Twilight Frontier; and is also a manga series too.

Started originally in 1997, the first game, Highly Responsive to Prayers was released in 1997 by Amusement Makers for. Soon, by the time Mystic Square was released for PC-98 in 1998, the series went inactive for a while.

By 2002, the Touhou Project was back under a new 'company' and Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released under 'Team Shanghai Alice' for Windows; and thus ended the PC-98 Era. From then on, ZUN would create the Touhou Project for Windows, and at least 1-2 (rarely 3+) games was released per year (except 2006), with the latest release being Ten Desires in 2011.

 * 東方Project (Game and Manga) - 東方Project (Luna: Earth II)
