Hi there, as one of the guys who actually bought the LimitedRun Loom release, I would like to tell you exactly what is in this package and what not:
- USB Stick: There's a "loom.exe" and a ReadMe file on it. The "loom.exe" will install the VGA CD-talkie version of Loom like it is available on Steam or GOG. And only this version. No EGA, FM Towns, AMIGA, Mac, whatever different version on there.
- CD-ROM Disc: Exactly the same content as the USB stick. No EGA, FM Towns, AMIGA, Mac, whatever version on it. Only the known CD-talkie release.
- Soundtrack Audio-CD: The known soundtrack (probably performed by an Roland MT-32 soundcard) and an alternate version of the soundtrack (sounds like being performed on a lower quality MIDI wavetable soundcard, the quality is also less good than the MT-32 soundtrack). Last song is a short version of the Indiana Jones theme (yes, for whatever reasons). On the jewel case, there is a data track mentioned but there is none on the CD (maybe the label package was simply copied from the original LucasArts CD release where track 1 was the data track.
- Audio-drama Audio-CD: On track 1 there is the japanese version of the audio drama, on track2 the English original version. On the following tracks there is the soundtrack of the audio-drama with no speech. There are no other language versions of the audio drama (no German version for example, which does exist).
- The original manual
- The original Book of Patterns on a more sturdy paper than the original release.
- The original red copy protection "glass" (which is btw never needed because this Loom release does not have the old copy protection)
- Loom logo patch
- A two sided poster
So all in all this release is not worth mentioned to be a "collector's edition". It is missing a lot and is looks a bit like being "copied together what is available on the Internet already". It only has the (worse) Steam/GOG VGA talkie release and misses the sough-after original EGA release (not to mention the rare VGA FM-towns floppy version or the releases for other platforms), and it misses all versions of the audio drama. All in all it's not a release worth buying if you still have the original package from 1990.
