Keith21y Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Im from the UK and for the past year have been trying to get a hold of a copy of a very old game called Loom. I know its not a MKI game but it is mentioned in MKI 1,2 & 3. I have looked all over, i can find barely no mention of it on any websites and it is the only LucasArts (or Lucas Film as they were back then) that I havent had chance to play and complete. Can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyclad Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Yeah, Lucas Arts should re-release that game, or bundle it in a set or something. I had the talkie version of that game on CD-ROM like in '94 or so. I guess that version is pretty rare. I sold it when I sold my computer. I know the guy I sold it to, I should get it back from him LOOM was a great game, too bad more people didn't experience the voice acting on the talkie version, cuz it was pretty darn good voice over work. But alas, I've never seen it for sale anywhere for years. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith21y Posted October 22, 2001 Author Share Posted October 22, 2001 ive only ever seen the game in action and it looked pretty interesting. i didnt know about the talkie version so ill keep my eye open for that now too. thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufio Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 loom 2 would be incredibly far fetched, i dont think it'd happen keith21y: check your private message ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://members.hostedscripts.com/randomimage.cgi?user=alk3kid" border=0> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 One of the coolest parts of LOOM that I remember is turning a sheep green and of course the cool intro song. ------------------ "Heroes die, but legends live for ever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegend Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Loom II would be really cool. Somebody know what the story is gonna be about if there was a Loom Deux? ------------------ "Heroes die, but legends live for ever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 theunderdogs.org doesn't work... at least not for me. I think that Lucas should have like an Ultra-Archive consisting of: Loom Maniac Mansion Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis The Secret of Monkey Island Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge Day of the Tentacle Sam and Max Hit the Road and any other CLASSIC game I didn't mention. I mean, Lucasarts isn't making any more money off these games anyways, so they my as well try... I know I'd buy it, without a doubt, for a minimum of $20.

Yoha Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I hate to disagree, but I thought LOOM was pretty bad... :: ducks :: it would help if it had some kind of developed plot.... sorry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBlanc Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Moving this to harbor, it's where it belongs, and it'll probably get more replies that way. Or should this be in Media Discussion? I'm ever so confused. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snootch Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 In my opinion Loom is GREAT. It's one of my favorite adventure games. So many people say that it sucks because they haven't even played it. I saw a lucasarts archive vol. something in the store and remake of loom was in it. I'm not 100% sure about that but i'm pretty sure. Loom dares to be differend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoyce Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Sorry if I don't taste to you, I would also buy the big pack,, but I am only interested in MI and ÍS&M, no IndianaJones and Dott(really playing now for the first time), only Stan and Max.

I mean, Lucasarts isn't making any more money off these games anyways, so they my as well try... I'm not sure this is the point. Since LucasArts is still selling the game, any site that gives it away is illegal in the eyes of uncle George--(no matter what they call it ...it's warez) and shouldn't be posted here...should it? If theunderdogs.org is distributing it for lucasarts ...then disregard this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 You are completely right. They wouldn't be distributing the game for LEC for free if LEC is selling it for money... now would they? Abandonware and such are games that aren't for sale anymore and of which the author has given up all the rights. That means that the only games that can be considered abandonware are games nobody plays anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 theunderdogs.org is an established site and has all their games cleared for free distribution. many of the games are not the FULL version and are missing voice or sound, but because of their form they are accepted as abandon ware. you can read about all of the legality of the site ON the site, any information you would be looking for is on there. i would not have mentioned the site if it were a 'warez' site, and i do not condone 'warez' in any way. this site is just a resource for games that are no longer distributed by their respective companies.

raVen_image Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Actually, copyright laws are very specific: "Publishers retain copyright even after a program is removed from the market, which effectively makes that title unavailable" found from this one source: http://www.byte.com/documents/s=1271/byt20010912s0002/ There are many sources that might dispute the legality of abandonware that is still for sale or not for sale. LOOM is, obviously, still on the market. All I get is a blank page when I visit the afformentioned site, so I don't know what they have been cleared to distribute. It is up to the moderators of this forum, of course, but there could be legal reprisals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 well i was there not 5 seconds ago. the site has been functioning for over two years, if it were breaking any laws it would not have lasted more than a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murta Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 turns out it is 'technically' illegal, so I removed this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 yeah, i agree...Loom is a great game, really unique. Although i dont see LEC making a sequal to the game as i dont think it would really work...I wish they'd hurry up with Grim Fandango 2 though!

Bobbin Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Places to get Loom Pay 19.99 at Lucasarts.com for Classic Adventures Archives but the game isn't the 256 color version and isn't talkie Download 256 color version at underdogs but no sound and no voice. Can find the CD-ROM version on eBay with prices ranging from 2.00 - 35.00 There is one on there now for 6.50 but I'm buying it so don't even think about it.

Schmatz Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 I, too, find it illegal. Just, the thing is, I REALLY need to finally beat it. That's why I think they need that ULTIMATE ANTHOLOGY!!! ANywho, I'll check some of that junk out thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
