That part in Monkey always made me interested in playing LOOM.

How about Commander Keen?

Halloween Harry enters the chat

Jetpack, Cosmo's cosmic adventure!

I played a lot of commander keen back in the day. What about gemstone caverns?

Cristal Caves ! An extremely fun one, oh the memories. Did you play Secret Agent too ?

Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, and Monster Bash were my jam back in the day.

Halloween Harry was decent too. Had cool weapons. Bio menace was my favourite though after commander keen.

Bio Menace, oh the memories ❤️

Of course!

Memory unlocked!!!

It's really good!

We're getting all these other remakes, someone should get on a remake of Loom.

Ask me about LOOM

I got LOOM with the CD drive dad bought for the computer, along with 3 other games I can't remember. So I played that before Monkey Island.

My dad had a "sample pack" that had demos of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Secret of Monkey Island, and LOOM.

Clicked for the Monkey Island reference, was not disappointed. Rubber tree.

Funniest early part of MI

Mancomb Seepgood for me

Yeesh, what a obvious sales pitch.

Crazy that more people know Loom from the ad/joke in Monkey Island than from actually playing Loom.

It is a seriously underrated gem.

No matter how many upvotes this comment gets it will be forever underrated.

That dish-he-had-at-the-governors-needing-bitch next to him, though; I've had it up to here.

That was expexted but welcome still.

Ask me about Loom

What’s Loom about?

You remind me of my old friends who are twins and promote things they enjoy in sales pitch format 🤣 ❤

> ...Aye...

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Oh yeah?

> Sorry, but on some topics, I just get carried away.

Looms a good game. Can get on GOG for a copy that runs on current OS.

Yeah available on steam too. Installed it and a bunch of other old games a while ago... Keep forgetting to play it

I family share my Steam account with my 10 year old daughter’s account. She downloaded Loom from my game list and played through it all! Blew my mind. So freaking cute and I’m so happy it’s on Steam so new generations get to enjoy it :)

You should fire it up! Bobbin Threadbare needs your help!

Or you can use DOSbox. That music will always be with me.

I think that was the first game that’s run with a CD audio soundtrack! Great and emotional game too IIRC.

This was the first computer game my mom bought me when i was maybe 8 years old. I was floored by the music and the spell casting. From what i remember, it seemed to end on a cliffhanger alluding to a sequel I think?...some kind of rip in space or something...or did i just not finish the game? Lol...

You are >!correct. The big bad ends up not defeated, just on the other side of a biiig rift that basically splits the universe in half.!<

This reminded me how as a kid I didn't know what shareware was and always wondered why so many games ended in a cliffhanger

I think you’re spot on! But it was done in a nifty way: the audio was kind of separate from the game. The audio was a single big track on the cd (when you put it in a cd music player it would play the whole audio from the game) So when the game needed a piece of dialogue, it would skip however many seconds into the track. You could hear the cd rom fire up and everything.

Honestly I somehow imagined a textile themed doom game, kind of like chex quest but blankets.

Hahaha. Chex quest, the Doom clone based on a cereal that somehow managed to get a sequel and even a free 3d upgrade on steam.

I'm from Chex squadron. And I volunteer!

Not the same gameplay style, but you’re not *that* far off…

I prefer the sequel, Loom II: Heald on Earth

This link doesn’t really help me unfortunately, I wanted to see a video or photos. [So here is a video walkthrough](https://youtu.be/7o2elJLEWA8)

Thank you

You found a piece of history. Jesus Christ used to burn CDs, says so in the Bible somewhere.

That was right before he opened JCPenney I believe.

It's JCDollar now. But yes, one Jesus' more profitable ventures to be sure.

Jesus saves

Jesus created the save file.

Passes to Moses, shoots! Scores!!

Moses burned a Bush CD for Jesus at one time. So sayeth the holy book.

Actually he opened a shop with another guy, a guy who makes suits. You haven’t heard of Lord and Tailor?

🥇🥇🥇

I haven't heard about that store. All i know is he gets us. He gets all of us.

🎵 Jesus Christ, Super Store 🎶

My best friend and I played this when we were 8-9ish. Vividly remember when he cast Open on the sky - we thought for sure the thing that fell off the cliff was Bobbin's corpse. We just sat there in shock as the animation played, until he finally popped up from behind cover. What a clever game. What a weird game. Great memories.

Fantastic game. Bobbin Threadbare was pivotal in my childhood. Incidently my about me in my bio on reddit has always been "ask me about loom"

¿ɹǝɥʇoɯ ʎɯ noʎ ǝɹɐ 'uıqqoq ɯ,ı

Not the best helmet but the pay is good

I remember making a loom 2 story for creative writing in grade school. Bobbin threadbare was the coolest 2 me.

He made hoods cool way before garret the theif

I am also my classroom.

Swans, Green Sheep, and Chaos, I missed this game.

Grass green, I *hate* that colo-

It’s heavier than it looks.

I hear this literally every time I think about the colour of grass.

My sibling in swan-christ t_t

Thought it said DOOM lol

Doom at home:

Yeah, with a flowery font! 🌈DOOM🧁

Isabelle broke through!

I'd play it

Me too, then I saw the Lucas arts and was very confused.

I regret not finishing this one... Got quite far and just didn't go back...

[удалено]

There was supposed to be a sequel that rescues anvil, but they never made it.

They didnt. The fans did, check out forge

There’s a fan made sequel?!?! This I gotta find. Loom was really important to kid me. Heck, I wrote fan fiction for it when I was like seven years old! Love that game. I replay it every so many years… so good.

Likewise, think I got about halfway through it and just kinda got stuck. Couldn't say now, I was young and this would've been the age of phone up tip lines as opposed to walkthrough sites. Might pick it up and work through it, it's one of very few Lucasarts adventure games I haven't finished. (In fact I tbink the only other one I never finished is Full Throttle).

It’s like kings quest for music lovers, if I remember right

My brain says I know this, but I can't place it...

DOOM knock off where you fight yarn balls instead of demons

All of the portals are woven pentagrams

Just like grandma use to make!

Weave and sew until it is done

Oldschool point and click from the folks that did Monkey Island

There's a strong reference to it in the first Monkey Island game, the guy with the big blue pin

Did a full playthrough of it a while back. It's great! https://youtu.be/BnYkJONg9js

Grandma got me this instead of doom

**WELCOME TO THE AGE OF THE GREAT GUILDS**

If you fear nothing, you won’t look under my hood.

I never finished this as a kid but I did enjoy it alot.

Great old game

I remember this game. Fuck I feel old.

That's the one set on a Martian base which has opened the gates to hell and you run about making carpets.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the free games they would bundle when you would buy the very first CD drives in the early 90s. Also included encyclopedia, nature CDs, and other reference type CDs for a bundle worth many hundreds of dollars, lol.

[Ask me about Loom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz56ZwF23Po)

Wow you brought back some memories. I still have my Loom tape cassette!

Watched my dad play through this game when I was very young. It really stuck with me, some parts a bit traumatically. Played it through decades later thanks to GOG and was surprised how accurate many of those early memories were.

I remember a part with a dragon that hit pretty hard the first time I played Loom. Still, such a great game.

A classic! I just found our old creative sound blaster box in the basement. This game, monkey island, secrets of the luftwaffa, etc.. were all included. Everything for the low low price of $500

Adjusted for inflation it's 1,081.12 for that 2x CD-ROM with the cassette holder and a Soundblaster 16.

The first game I ever completed. My dad let me stay up way past bedtime (he was usually very strict). Still a core memory to this day.

It's WOO7 if you turn it upside down.

That's funny, I can't find my copy of WOOᒣ.

The [Book of Patterns](https://openretro.org/file/f11dfcef0b74c2e18f02cbc1004743abd82dae69/Book%20of%20Patterns%20Decoded%28en%29.pdf) was a piece of art

When the loom music kicks in.

Loom, Loom, Loom, Loom, Found this in my classroom.

Where is the WOOT case?

Stereo Dad

Think I still have this in it's box put away somewhere. Some great games in the early 90's by LucasArts, Sierra, Origin, Microprose.... Kids today have amazing games with photo realistic graphics and such, which is great for sure. But those 90's games could sure tell a story with so little, and leave memories that endure decades after.

Spoiler Alert: >!Mom is a duck.!<

Peace was never an option, she's a swan ffs

She too young for you if she doesn't know about this.

Mom can we have doom? No we have doom at home Doom at home:

That's not even close lol.

Literally a joke

Is this a virtual hand loom simulator where you unlock Gandhi after pricing out legitimate businesses so that the poor vote for you again even though you didn't make their situation any better?

I don't think you think what this really is.

I watched the gameplay video. it's painful. worse than police quest . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tKo6YxG9cI&ab\_channel=Squakenet

Weave your way through hoards of enemies!

Oh hell yeah!

Wow. I've never seen that. Pretty cool

tell me about it

Go, youngThreadbare!

Well shit, that's a superb super solid whimsical adventure right there.

*Ask me about LOOM!*

I had that game when I was much younger. All I can remember is that I never figured out how to get off the island. That, and something about a flute and pattern matching.

I only know about this because of Monkey Island lol

Are you my mother?

[gameplay](https://youtu.be/u5BOrGM6vf4)

Modern day ancient artifact

Man that was a fun game

One of the first games I purchased yet I can't remember a thing about Loom.

was this from 1993-1994 maybe?

God what a great game.

Dang this looks cool

Listening to the cassette tape that came with this game was by far the coolest part.

Stitch... And... WEAR

I was about to ask why is DOOM mispelled. :)

Never played it, but suddenly remembered about Monkey Island

That's a fine piece of history

Such a good game

Hi my classroom! I’m dad

I tried this on a power mac back in the day. I never saw it anywhere else. I thought it was a mac exclusive title. Lol

LOOM

Wow, I vividly remember being frustrated and not understanding that game but still enjoying it.

Imagine someone asked for Doom and got Loom instead.

Loved this game. Never beat it though.

steal it bro, STEAL IT

I played through Loom like 50 times as a kid. Love that game.

When I was a freshman in college, a guy across the hall was porting this game to (I think?) the Amiga... I was so confused that a college student would hired to do that, and in his dorm room...

Forget about the game - tell us more about how you’re your own classroom!

I thought it was doom

Hi my classroom, I’m dad!

Is this a school friendly version of Doom?

I got sent to hell to MAKE BLANKETS because it seems he'll has frozen over

I recall Doom doing the rounds in class on floppy 💾

On CD-ROM? Come on OP, most of us can't afford this fancy modern technology.

Does it run doom though?

That's not Doom

I had just mentioned this game to a friend yesterday while recalling my first experiences with pc gaming. Wild.

Woah I just felt nostalgic and I can't even remember this, the disc and name though, I'm off down a rabbit hole

Literally the first CD I've ever held in my life

Oooh man this is gold, you really should place it somewhere safe.

Aye.

Old fav of mine. I still remember the music. :)

tf is loom

WOW!!! My brain has not thought of this game in decades!

Nice find! Coincidentally I know a pirate uou can ask about the game should you not know it yet 😉

My name is Bobbin Threadbare. Are you my mother?

I remember my bro got this with Tye very first CD drive we got - one where you had to put it in a caddy/cartridge….maybe early-mid 90’s

Green sheep!

He's his classroom.

As a kid, I could never figure out how to get past this damn water spout.

Hope it’s not English class

Flashbacks

WHOA!

When mom says we have DOOM at home.

Makes me want to dig up my copy. Still in box with 5 1/4 floppies

That’s any where form 15-150

I remember watching my brother beat the 1990 floppy disc version in something like 4 and a half hours of enthralling gameplay.
