Loom
Note: The version on this site is the "patch" package that will upgrade a legitimate copy of Loom floppy version to full CD-ROM version, which adds 256-color VGA graphics and full speech to the game. The patch is put up here only as a last resort, as LucasArts cannot distribute the CD-ROM version due to existing licensing agreement with Mindscape (which is now defunct). Basically the company would still be selling the CD-ROM version if they could. To use this patch, you *must* have a legitimate floppy version of Loom - which is included in the "Classic Adventures Archive" compilation sold at LucasArts store. If you try to use this patch on a "pirated" version of Loom floppy, it will not work. The original floppy version (not the Classic Adventures patck) of the game shipped with a very nice 30-minute audio prologue to the game on cassette tape, which you can download as a MP3 file here [6MB].
