The concept and feel of Loom were wonderful. I wish it had been longer, but probably my personal favorite of the group.


It was such a shame we didn't get the other 2 Loom games that were planned. (and iirc there's an easter egg that you can find, that directly hints at the content for the next game)


On the Mac it was a quite beautiful game. Later on I tried different (Windows / DOS) versions with ScummVM but they're a disappointment. Same with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I am not sure if the Mac versions are playable in ScummVM.


Loom looks way better on a CRT than it does in e.g. dosbox. It is easily the best looking EGA game ever made (if that's not damning it with faint praise).


Loom's EGA graphics were, arguably, better than the VGA version.

I had no idea there was a VGA remake, thanks for sharing. It does point out that the EGA dithering was less harsh on a CRT as well.
