Loom is a unique Lucasfilm adventure game with a serious and poetic tone, and feels quite modern, except for the SCUMM engine struggling a bit to run properly on a stock Amiga 500.

Wonderful Adventure Game with Performance Issues
Loom is an impressive adventure game, with a unique musical spell system and sleek, modern game design. The game has a short, yet grand story, with a tone that is unique among adventure games, serious and poetic.
However, the Amiga version is not great, on an Amiga 500 it runs at an appaulingly low frame rate, and the amount of disk swapping is downright crazy and ends up detracting from the experience. Preferably, it should be played on a newer Amiga with a HD or 3 disk drives.
If you find a way of playing this game using a hard drive, it's a great experience.
