Does anyone else remember Lucas Art's Loom?

I do! It was a great game and I thought this was going to be some sort of remake. I was a little disappointed.

Do you remember the Pirate in Monkey Island I in the Scumm Bar, whom you could ask about LOOM?


Ha, good one!

The only one I still remember was the button in Space Quest I escape pod that when pressed ejected you through the time-space warp into Kings Quest I and then killed you on impact :)


When i saw Loom it is the first thing that came into mind. 2 weeks ago i found the old CD (dating from 1992) that is still in perfectly good shape, i don't know how i kept it for so long. It is one of the best games ever made. E C E D.

I loved The Dig, Full Throttle, and Sam and Max. I'm going to dl loom on steam pretty much the second I get home.

This also made me end up reading wikipedia articles on the SCUMM language/engine for half an hour, so that's fun.


There's a pretty good bundle on Steam that has The Dig and Loom in it (and both Indiana Jones games I think). I never caught The Dig when it came out so I've been playing through it lately. Loom was an absolute favorite when I first played it (I think I was 11 or 12?). Mind-blowing. Probably internet-common knowledge but in case you're not aware of the Double Find Adventure kickstarter, it's worth knowing there's a studio working on a new point-and-click adventure for those of us who were (or still are) ravenously obsessed with the genre - http://www.doublefine.com/dfa


Wasn't aware of it at all. I'll check it out, for sure.


One of the best adventure input systems ever.

I still want to get an Arduino and build a real-world "distaff". Not sure how to properly model the inputs...
