With Monkey Island getting a lot of re-hype lately I think it’s only fair that people remember how great LOOM is. Released in 1990, it was a Lucasfilm Games fantasy adventure game that blended a great story with highly enjoyable, non-annoying gameplay (you can’t die, you’re never forced to completely restart the game and you’re never crowbarred into hours of trial and error). You play as Bobbin Threadbare, a member of the Guild of Weavers venturing throughout the land learning and casting spells on your musical staff to solve problems and ultimately important mysteries. A great moment in computer game history.
