Incomplete games should be treated by GOG like DRMed games: unworthy. As long as the audio drama is missing, I won't buy the game.

I've played this game when I was a kid and when I tried the GOG version I felt something was odd, although at first I didn't get what it was. Then I saw a video comparison between VGA and EGA versions and I got the problem. The talkie part is actually quite good: I like the scottish accent of the shepherds and all. But the close-ups of the faces during dialogs are missing, the musics are missing... I mean, most of the nostalgia is gone. What actually made me ring a bell was Bobbin's cry when he got caught by the tornado. Bedides being quite odd by itself, it's repeated twice when he got captured by he dragon. In fact, that entire cut scene has been butchered and really felt out of place. I ended up unninstalling it and getting the EGA version by other means.

There was a time back in the 80s and 90s when these games were churned out to a ridiculous degree, and looking back on it, many point and clicks from the era seem mostly like cookie-cutter copies of one another. This is not the case with LOOM. Lucasarts were simply geniuses when it came to creating original game worlds, and matching it to unique and inventive puzzle gameplay. It is a very short game, but even now there is nothing quite like it. A masterpiece.

What a pity! The game was truly a gem ahead of it's time and the EGA graphics were enchanting. But here? Only the altered VGA version...
