Wow, they really messed up Loom in the EGA to VGA conversion. The EGA graphics were a work of art, very moody.

It's interesting how the VGA version manages to be way less nuanced, plus it destroys that beautiful "blue" look of the night scenes.

This sounds so snobby. VGA Loom was absolutely stunning. I can understand that you may appreciate EGA more, but "messed up" sounds hyperbolic imo.

It's bad, but what they did to Loom was way way worse, they obliterated the style, chiaroscuro and nuance.
