Let the weirdness begin. The first part of my Blue Ice playthrough now has a permanent home on the SQH Dumping Grounds: https://youtu.be/QDCR-KxZtc4
Checked on a bug report I filed with ScummVM a while back about errors in the font drop shadows in the TurboGrafx-16 version of LOOM.
Turns out it's been 12 months and it's still open, and in all that time nobody else has even commented on it. :P
In about 10 minutes or so, I'll be streaming Blue Ice — the most obtuse, dense, and difficult adventure game of all time. And, yes, you're goddamn right I'll be using a walkthrough.

I played bits of the French and German versions of Space Quest 6, which were not only translated but also fully voiced in their respective languages... to varying degrees of success. https://youtu.be/xAfAJw2Gzg0

That last detail is a relic of some early builds where all room exits were marked with pictures on the GUI. This was probably cut to avoid players trying to cast drafts on them, but evidently one exit indicator was left in by mistake in version 1.0.
Other differences in LOOM EGA version 1.0 include slightly different text under the Lucasfilm Games logo, and a stray image in the GUI to denote the exit from the mountain spiral staircase leading back into the dragon's cave which was deleted in later builds.
@selzero Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, released in 1989 (EGA version on MS-DOS shown below). Adventure game (there was also an arcade one, much less interesting IMHO).
TIL that version 1.0 of LOOM EGA features more stars in the area Outside the Pattern than later builds have.
in which I finish Time Warden, a lost ZX81 game and an attempt at referencing Dr. Who
and observe the curious difference between fantasy and sci-fi in early adventure games
and also, as, usual, come across a thumpingly bad moment of parser feedback

A new quest begins! This one's vaguely Dr. Who shaped, as we play a Time Warden looking for the Key of Time before the universe implodes.
The game itself is unpublished -- found by the author in an old pile of tapes years later -- and hence extremely obscure.
Super congrats to @SpookyDoorway for this very cool announcement trailer for The Séance at Blake Manor (formerly known as Eldritch House).
Anybody up for a noir detective adventure game with a kickass art style set in 1897 Connemara? I worked on the demo the team shopped around, and was one of the coders who started the project. Can't wait to play it!

Here's a stream I did a few weeks ago that I forgot to upload to my Let's Play channel. It's a short, spooky first-person adventure game called The Station, and it was actually pretty good. https://youtu.be/SA_uqRrAMIg
