What is the macintosh game 'Loom' like? I was at a computer store
recently and the graphics and sounds look like it could be interesting.
Has anyone tried the program??

It was a good game, but much to simple, I solved it in 4 hours!! So now I have a game that I won't use again!! Ken Anderson P.S. The game's concept is this, you are a boy that has grown up in the Guild of Weavers. The Guild of Weavers has learned how to weave reality by use of songs. You go through the game and you need to learn songs and play these songs back to solve certain puzzles. The songs are easy to learn, they are only four notes to memorize. If you have System 6.0.7 you will really enjoy the music, and the graphics which are 16-color or black-and-white are really quite good. My only complaint was that it was much to simple... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Anderson | "I'd much rather live in perfection, U.C.

The color and graphics and sound were very good, but the game itself took about 4 hours to solve. I don't think it's worth blowing that much cash for cutsey pictures.
