LOOM Gameplay - The Cathedral - Part 9

Part 9 of a series of clips showing me playing through Expert mode of the LucasArts computer game LOOM.

Version I'm playing is the (now apparently rare) CD-ROM "talkie" version.

Note: Video has been slightly edited, but this is due to my CD messing up whenever the "E" note is played. When an "E" is played, it is followed by roughly 10-15 seconds of silence/frozen game, so I have removed these blank seconds. (more)

Man this game's voice acting is amazing!

[silvermoonprod]

Agreed! :) It was one of the first to have voice acting, so I suppose it only makes sense they made sure to do it right.

[gawka1]

That's totally false. The original version of Loom (1990) didn't have any voice acting. The audio in this clip is entirely from the 2009 re-release!

[silvermoonprod]

@gawka1 The original did not, correct. However the CD version from circa 1993 did. This 1993 version is the one I'm playing in the video. Steam's re-release in 2009 used this version.

I thought you were able to see Bobbin's face during this part in Expert mode?

And yeah, Chaos was insanely scary when I was a kid.

[silvermoonprod]

I believe that might've only been in the original version; not the CD. The CD version cut out quite a few graphics.

Chaos scared the shit out of me when I played this when I was 9.

[ReverendSyn]

Nah. It's just a random portal to anywhere in the LucasArts multiverse.

Don't worry about Cobb, he's safe and sound in the first Monkey Island game in a tavern on Melee Island, eager to talk to anyone who asks about his world of origin.

Aye.

"i don't think i want to be part of this conversation" LOL!

@silvermoonprod The talkie CD version is from 1992, I still have the original CD. :)

[VegasBilgeRat]

holy cow, i havent seen this game in about 16 years? maybe more?

I played this when I was like 12 or 13, it was awesome.

I remember I couldnt figure out what the hell was going on at all for about an hour, but I finally got the hang of interacting with the environment.

[KatanaGeldar]

Only in the original version from the floppy!

[Mrster]

Correct except for the part about it being from 2009. It came later than 1990, but maybe 1993 or so.

[divad228]

I always laughed when I hear Bobbin scream like that. I kept on going through that tornado jus to hear it over and over.

[gawka1]

I grew up on the original floppy disc version, and you never saw Bobbin's face.

[musicguy1313]

This game is terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I love Bobbin's little comments like "I can't seem to hold onto this thing."
