So that&#39;s what we did!<br/><br/>Loom (1990, Lucasfilm Games) is an atypical game, not only because of its unique fantasy setting, but also because it features a magical music-based user interface that doesn&#39;t show any verbs at all.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a beautiful little game that holds a special place in many of its players&#39; hearts, and we want to hear all about it!<br/><br/><a href="https://www.dosgameclub.com/loom/">https://www.dosgameclub.com/loom/</a><br/><br/>#dosGaming #retroGaming #podcast 2025-07-04T21:20:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx0nu84yzqaaw6dgxqacx4zhvkjmd7c7fuw3cq595r0ezj33vyyhczyzep0lcytw3nyavkgkafe3mgm6j06jsa4y8tuv7kzdgq6t98kjqaz80ds75 💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 When did turn-based tile-based RPGs from the 1980s turn into the real-time 3D games we know today? Ultima Underworld, that&#39;s when!<br/><br/>We took 3 months to look at this game instead of our normal 1 month, mainly to give ourselves a chance to catch up with our schedule, but also because it&#39;s not easy to fully play a big game like this in a single month.<br/><br/>Was it worth it?
