Trinity (1986), by Infocom. One of the first five Infocom games I bought (the others were Enchanter, Sorcerer, Spellbreaker, and Deadline), and it still has some of the best graphics I've ever seen in an adventure game.

(Screenshot from the Macintosh version, because that's how I played it back then.)

Happy 35th anniversary to Loom! 🎂 ✨ (May 1990)

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

Today, while on a long drive, I've listened through the available podcast episodes of the "complete history of Trinity" by Casey Muratori.

I would love to play the game. Though I wonder, could it be done hands-free?

We have TTS and STT that can run locally on a phone. #ScummVM supports this game and runs on anything.
Can we make text adventures as accessible as audiobooks?

The Pain Train: Loom... in CGA

There was a brief moment when the movie Oppenheimer really came alive for me. I didn't necessarily know what I was looking at, but I could still recognize it from all those years ago when I first played the Infocom game "Trinity". I almost expected to see the roadrunner lurking in the background.

I wish more of the movie had been like that! I still liked it, but...
