"Ask me about Loom". That's awesome.

TIL that a group of swans is called a “ballet”

Pam, you do such a fantastic job with these videos. I love how you romanticize classic games and take us on a journey exploring their history. Thank you.

Activision still ruining things in 2022....

Complete the adventure in difficult mode, and you will see a cutscene in which Bobbyn unveils his true face under the weaver's hood.... By the way, that makes perfect sense with the ending... Weavers are not what they seem to be, that IS why they have the Loom... Beatiful story, beatiful review, Pam.

Love that you're covering the old LucasFilm games. This explains the "I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother?" line from Monkey Island! I had no idea! Fantastic as ever.

This game came with my parents computer when I was in junior high. I couldn't stop playing it! Just a great game all-around and I miss the magic of those days in gaming.

"Loom is one of the most beautiful stories that LucasArts Games has produced" It makes me sad to read this

I had to call the Lucas Arts hint line (no web in those days) to solve the dragon stealing sheep puzzle. But it was a clever and logical puzzle, unlike the dragon puzzle in “Zork” (hit the dragon with the sword several times until it becomes curious and starts to follow you, then lead it to the room with the glacier; the dragon will see its own reflection, think it’s another dragon, then breathe fire on it, melting the ice and turning it to steam, which then kills the dragon). Better an easy puzzle that you can figure out, than one that requires you to just try random things. Thank you for this background, I had no idea there was an audio play, or a remake.

sound like more bricks with less tools. nice. bobbin is bilbo. well cannon fodder was a kids game. talk about that. somewhat recently people have got extremely soft. dithering could be compressed by RLE as a two byte pattern, not one byte repetition. like the dig or beneath the steel sky, you can only squeeze so much from a simple idea. repeat after me hmh.

This seems like a game that could make for a really great film adaptation if given the care it deserves

Wow.

One of the greatest classic adventure games... I'm so glad to see some love thrown at Loom after so many years of obscurity!

From the moment I heard that enchanting opening music, LOOM took hold of me and never let go. It was nearly 30 years ago, and I still remember being a child, whisked away into that magical realm.

This and the Monkey Island series were my favorite games to play growing up! Thanks for doing this Pam! Cannot wait to watch!!

Wow this is truly a work of passion. Fantastic insights and research. Well done Pam, consistently best KZreadr 👍🏻

You know what's awesome in this game? Moriarty took time to take in account if players REVERSE the spell they just did. For instance: When you get to the spiral staircase, you have to reverse the Twist spell to unravel it. IF you want for *no reason*, you can do the spell normally, and re-twist.

The premise for this game sounds amazing, as does the inert lore. It's a shame that the entire trilogy never came to be, as I feel like this is a trilogy I would have really enjoyed. Anyway, thanks for being so indepth with your retrospective on Loom. As always, it was a great and informative watch.

I played this game when I was six, it was my first point and click game and this is still one of the most beautiful games I ever seen. Respect to Loom ❤❤❤

I remember playing this on the Commodore Amiga and thinking "What is this?" - but it was a brilliant experience and a harbinger of the greatness to come.
