Version bancale d'un jeu magnifique

J'ai joué la première à Loom sur Amiga 500 alors que j'avais 8 ou 10 ans. Ce fut une expérience extraordinaire, l'histoire, la musique, les graphismes même qui, sans être techniquement au top sont très évocateurs. Cette version souffre de nombreux problèmes : 1) L'écriture : pour pouvoir faire tenir les dialogues parlés sur le cd il a fallut procéder à de nombreuses coupes dans le texte. 2) La musique : si elle est bonne ( bien que l'on soit étonné de ne pas avoir une "vraie" version acoustique sur support CD ), elle est malheureusement absente dans de nombreux passages. 3) La censure : les éléments gore on tous été retirés du jeu. C'était pourtant un élément important du jeu qui participait à son ambiance mélangeant la naïveté formelle et la dureté du monde ( à la manière d'un conte ). 4) Les graphismes : Loom est un jeu aux graphismes parfois presque naïfs et qui dégage une ambiance ... poétique, mystique. En passant au 256 couleurs et à des graphismes plus fins, l'aspect abstrait des graphismes s'évapore, le jeu des couleurs et moins tranché, et si l'ensemble garde son aspect naïf, il perd un peu de sa poésie et de son mysticisme. Malgré tout cela il faut reconnaître que le doublage est bon et que c'est une version à essayer. Le jeu étant assez court, commencez par la version Amiga ou la version dite "FM Towns", et puis faites-le avec la version gog.

One of the most unique adventures ever!

One of the most unique adventures ever made, Loom is a brainchild of Brian Moriarty (the brain behind Infocom's Wishbringer and Trinity). The game's intriguing plot is enough to ensure its "classic" status: You are Bobbin Threadbare, the mysterious "Loom child" and member of the Weaver Guild who must embark on a perilous journey to follow his guild members who were turned into Swans and flew away from the Loom island. Moriarty raised the game's originality even higher by giving us no inventory. Instead, all puzzles in the game are based on "spells" cast by playing notes on a magical staff. Definitely a must-have for all adventure enthusiasts. To get you in the right frame of mind and set up the story, the designers included a thirty-minute cassette recording that features a superbly acted and relevant docu-drama that sets the tone of the game. The original CD version of the audio drama was limited to 1,000 copies and offered as a promotional item to attendees of the Loom launch party, held at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 1990. Sadly, the audio drama is not included with the GOG release and while having the background story is not strictly necessary, I tracked down the Lossless/Flac CD version here: mega.nz/file/ctQQHYxL#lxxbPoawlOi9awVboqxTWEzgojcq37qWNA3WPoVb9iA This seems to be a later CD version released in Japan as the audio prolog is found both in Japanese as track #1 and English as track #2 and then continues like the ltd ed: Tracklist 01 - Loom 29:24 02 - The Weavers 06:16 03 - Flight of the Swan 01:25 04 - Bobbin 02:28 05 - The Seventeenth Visit 01:29

Another great LucasArts classic!

I grew up on old games like this. Sierra, Westwood and LucasArts made a lot of great point-and-click adventures, and this one is no exception. The music is beautiful and fitting to the scene, the graphics (though dated now) are beautiful and inviting, and the voice acting is not bad at all. One refreshing thing about this particular point-n-click is the lack of a real inventory system, and no real "verb menu". No look, take, walk, etc. buttons, just click and double click. In place of a personal inventory, you use different spells you learn and jot down for each playthrough. (Some are known to be random for different playthoughs) While it does keep a rather serious tone, not having near the goofy comedy from Sam and Max or Monkey Island, it does have its charm, with an almost Terry Pratchett-esque dry wit. All in all, if you're looking for a classic from a legendary time in PC gaming, do not miss this one.

A unique and great cult classic

Loom is a very interesting game, it definitely got that LucasArts/LucasFilm charm but at the same time.. doesn't the game feel a bit like Zork and other Infocom titles? No surprises there as the creator and lead developer of the game was Brian Moriarty, former of Infocom. The game definitely stands out compared to other titles from LucasArts, mainly due to it's interesting take on the SCUMM system. Rather than using the classic point n click menu and an inventory, you use the weaver stick to uhh I guess sing your commands... it's unique and it's great! There's no real issues remembering the various notes as long as you write them down. However the story itself is... quite dull tbh. Pretty much your standard fantasy story if anything. And of course compared to other titles from LucasArts, this game is a tad more serious. Definitely recommending it for all point n click fans!
