Who needs a wizard when you have a musician? ...who only plays four-note melodies? :P Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Loom, an atypical adventure game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games (before they became Lucasarts) originally in 1990 and then given a CD remake in 1992. Unlike most adventure titles which rely on finding lots of items, this one instead relies on figuring out musical "drafts" each of which are made up of four notes. The way this all plays out is very interesting and if you've never played the game yourself, only seeing screenshots or having watched it being played, you really aren't going to understand this thing's nuances or why it's as interesting as it is... despite its story being the weakest link in the whole experience. :P ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * To purchase a digital download of the remake from GOG, follow this link: https://www.gog.com/en/game/loom/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4 * Or if you'd rather get it on Steam, follow this link instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/32340/LOOM/ ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement ------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 Title and Intro 02:10 Game Stats 05:58 Story 09:59 Gameplay 16:00 Remake 19:04 Overall 20:04 DOSBox Configuration 22:26 Credits
