@FreeCAD software has been vital in helping me design and build my own weaving loom.

Planning out the parts and measurements. And designing parts for 3D printing. The project is making great progress.

On this Mother's Day, I decided to play Loom

DOS, EGA version. And in French!

From memory, the game is fairly easy (in Normal mode at least) and can be finished in a few hours.

My newest creation off the loom. Tried a much harder pattern and floating selvages for the first time.

Happy 35th anniversary to Loom! (May 1990)

Have you ever seen the 5-minute demo presented at CES in Las Vegas in January 1990?

> La fast fashion est un important enjeu environnemental, économique et un danger pourla filière textile française, mais une loi pour la réguler est menacée. Aux côtés de Julia Faure, cofondatrice de la marque de vêtements éthiques Loom et coprésidente du Mouvement Impact France, on décrypte les enjeux, les blocages politiques et les solutions pour une filière plus responsable.

We used to celebrate Loom's anniversary in January, but in reality the first reviews and ads were published in magazines from May 1990!

And the game was only listed by retailers from that month onwards.

Yesterday I played Loom and managed to go to the end.

It is a game that made a great impression on me when I played it as a kid. One of the first I could complete all by myself.

Now I understand why: it is quite easy and incredibly short .
Nonetheless it is a wonderful experience. The story is interesting and served by the most beautiful EGA graphics ever. And the music is sumptuous. 35 years ago it was one of the very first game I played after buying a Sound Blaster. I've loved Tchaikovsky ever since.
