Which version to play?
-
I’d like to finally participate in the club next month as Loom is one of my favorite early LucasArts games. The question is, which version would you recommend to revisit it? I’ve played the VGA PC Version back in 1993 (?) but heard there’s a fully voiced port for the FM-Towns. Or how about the EGA version? Would be an opportunity to experience a game in something other than VGA/SVGA for once.
Looking forward to April!
The EGA version is really gorgeous if you appreciate those particular limitations. The talkie version cuts content to fit the voices on the CD-ROM. Apparently the FM-Towns version would have the more colourful graphics but no voices, so it should have the original content in place, pretty much.
I played the EGA version back in the day (I still have the budget release box) and I didn’t get that much out of a replay recently-ish, but now I’m thinking I could give these different versions a go for the club. I bet ScummVM is able to deal with these different versions nicely …
Cool, I’ll go with the EGA version. Thanks for the insight!
I’d like to chime in and also say that I will be playing the EGA version, as I consider it superior to the VGA one. The graphics and dithering in this one done by Mark Ferrari is excellent.
