a question of version
It’s the japanese FM Towns version ( also in english ) you should play. That’s the five star version. If you bought Loom from Steam it’s free to download. ScummVM does the job.

Loom is a Very Good Retro Game, Only Complaint is it is Short and Some of Voice Acting Wasn't Best
First off, this games story is very good and it has great music throughout. The story is interesting in that the main character has to learn notes to be able to play spells as he eventually has to use his spells to destroy evil. Fairly simple enough story, but its a good one. The puzzles are fairly easy in the game, but fun. Most of the puzzles consist of playing the correct notes to use the spell. The game and story are good and the graphics were decent for this time. I liked the unique approach of casting the note threads. The voice acting for the swans, wasn’t the best. The voice acting for the other characters was good. All in all, if you want to play every LucasArts adventure game, this one I would recommend a lot as I found it to be quite enjoyable. My biggest complaint is the short playing time as I beat the game in about three hours and they never made a sequel to it.

fun retro fantasy adventure with a unique musical emphasis
this adventure released in 1990 was one i never got to play when i was younger. it was fun to play it now. a nicely built—albeit rather short—fantasy story. the main difference with this game is you don’t pick up any objects at all. instead, you manipulate your surroundings and solve puzzles by learning and casting 4-note “threads” which you learn throughout the game. i quite liked the music-based emphasis. the graphics are obviously dated, but well conceived. voice acting was ok. music was kinda sparse, but still ok. overall, a rewarding retro adventure gaming experience.
