Well, it's been a bit of a struggle to get to this point 
Even when you know what to do, you don't know how to do it.

On this Mother's Day, I decided to play Loom 
DOS, EGA version. And in French! 
From memory, the game is fairly easy (in Normal mode at least) and can be finished in a few hours.
My newest creation off the loom. Tried a much harder pattern and floating selvages for the first time.

And I can't resist showing off the beautiful box 
Amiga version, as it was on this computer that I first played it

Happy 35th anniversary to Loom! 
(May 1990)
Have you ever seen the 5-minute demo presented at CES in Las Vegas in January 1990?

Checked on a bug report I filed with ScummVM a while back about errors in the font drop shadows in the TurboGrafx-16 version of LOOM.
Turns out it's been 12 months and it's still open, and in all that time nobody else has even commented on it. :P

That last detail is a relic of some early builds where all room exits were marked with pictures on the GUI. This was probably cut to avoid players trying to cast drafts on them, but evidently one exit indicator was left in by mistake in version 1.0.
Continued thread
Other differences in LOOM EGA version 1.0 include slightly different text under the Lucasfilm Games logo, and a stray image in the GUI to denote the exit from the mountain spiral staircase leading back into the dragon's cave which was deleted in later builds.
TIL that version 1.0 of LOOM EGA features more stars in the area Outside the Pattern than later builds have.

@danielalbu Be sure to watch the bit starting at 53:50, where he (without any fanfare whatsoever) shows off footage of the finale from a WIP build, with some different sound effects and some dialogue from the final version not added in yet!

Fun with quotations.
Now to figure out what to do with the rest of this weaving wool from my inherited stash… like the blue and brown, I’ve just finished, it’s not for garments but rather upholstery. It will probably be more cushion covers but in a different pattern this time …maybe some kind of randomised check/tartan.. 
What do you think?
