I just noticed the early version of the Forge exterior shows Bobbin walking on a lower ledge in the background, where you can't go in the published game.

Maybe Bobbin originally walked down the steps from the graveyard, across that ledge to the far right edge of the screen, then turned around and went down more steps to reach the path leading up to the drawbridge?

Early LOOM screenshots from Game Player's PC Strategy Guide v.2 #4, Sept/Oct 1989.

Check out that early title screen!

Plus, the distaff doesn't use the same font as the rest of the text. And the font used for the copyright notice is different again. (Check the lowercase A and F in each.) Three different font designs!

peter mcconnell's AfterLife soundtrack is the most underrated LucasArts/LFG game music there is, mostly because no one played the game.

the music is also brutally underproduced. instead of redbook audio tracks, the team decided to (criminally) crunch the music down to 8-bit, mono, 22050hz. it sounds like it's coming out of a telephone handset.

today i did some audacity work and extracted one of the tracks directly from the game files, and did a light remaster. only so much can be done to make potato audio sound good, but this is a step in the right direction. it's now stereo. enjoy.

fwiw, this is peter himself playing the electric violin on this track. i had no idea he is a violinist.

it took me 35 years to realize that Pipe Dream for the microsoft entertainment pack - something I played *a lot* as a kid - is Lucasfilm Games' Pipe Dream.

(fwiw, the entire screenshot is a palette of 10 colours. incredible expressiveness with the 3-colour handpainted logo)

Thanks to @0mega I have stumbled upon the interesting article about porting the great #DayOfTheTentacle to Linux by @Cheeseness and the glorious "Tux taking on the world" artwork!

Thanks for the bringing the gane to Linux! 🙌 Just a while ago I have sent the game as a starting gift to my mother who has a new laptop capable handling some games and is running on #LinuxMint.

Wer feiert "The Curse Of Monkey Island" genau so wie ich?
Klar sind die beiden Vorgänger ohne Frage die besten Spiele ihrer Zunft. Aber die Animationen, die Sprachausgabe und der Soundtrack vom 3. Teil ziehen mich noch heute in den Bann. Ich würde das gern mal in 4k sehen... ein ECHTES REMASTER!
