Seems like an attachment to inanimate objects runs in the family...

I like the kind of amateur feel of it.
I'd say that LLS and MS are the culminations of the era, literally and metaphorically, although PoDD and SoEW are good and well made in their own right.
Part of it is the humour that's more apparent, the serious side of the danmaku battles being overshadowed by the silly endings, but also it's just the *feel* of it.
Touhou wasn't intended to be a coherent story back then, which is why Mima and Marisa are the only recurring characters, with Yuuka being thrown in for a happy quartet in MS.
I can't really explain it, but just listening to Alice in wonderland gives an accurate measure, to me, of what the old games feel like, like there's still a lot of mystery, and unmapped mountains that stretch on to the end of the world.
I like windows era, but I feel like a few story choices were hastily made, specifically surrounding gensokyo as a single well defined entity, rather than the dimensional model PC98 had.

^^ quick link to MS Ex stage theme ^^

What's your favourite theme of Alice? (Including stage themes)
Mine is definitely Alice in wonderland from MS
It has such a sense of loss in it, it's kinda addictive. There isn't really an *amazing* rearrange/remix of it though, at least from my searching.

Because /jp/ is Alice.
