- thefaux 3y agoThe concept and feel of Loom were wonderful. I wish it had been longer, but probably my personal favorite of the group.
- wsc981 3y agoOn 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.
- aidenn0 3y agoLoom 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).
- duskwuff 3y agoLoom's EGA graphics were, arguably, better than the VGA version. http://www.superrune.com/tutorials/loom_ega.php http://www.superrune.com/tutorials/loom_ega.php
- aidenn0 3y agoI 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.
- atribecalledqst 3y agoIt 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)
- el_benhameen 3y agoImpactful indeed. I remember a lot of games for being fun, having impressive graphics, etc. But the MI series instilled in me a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time and a place that I’ve never been and that never really existed, and it’s a feeling that I still get when I think about the games or hear the music from them.
