I was surprised when the article mentioned Loom in the 80s, I remember playing it and it feeling more recent.
Then the article explains the sad story of how the game failed to become a massive hit, and its design lessons went on ignored for years...
I personally think Loom has one of the finest adventure game interfaces I have ever used. I also loved its tone, for some reason I am just not that interested in comedy.
