Description
Or maybe "Bobbin WHO?" could be a better name.Once told me to do more obscure characters. This is as obscure as I can go.
Bobbin Threadbare is the main character from a LucasArts (back then, LucasFilm Games) called Loom, the fourth game to use the SCUMM system.
A small piece from Wikipedia:
" A departure from earlier (and later) LucasArts adventure games in many senses, Loom is based on a serious and complex fantasy story. With its experimental interface, it eschewed the traditional paradigm of graphical adventures, where puzzles usually involve interactions between the game character, the environment, and multiple items the character can take into their possession.
Loom's gameplay centers instead around magical four-note tunes (drafts) that the protagonist, Bobbin Threadbare, can play on his distaff. Each draft is a spell that has an effect of a certain type, such as "Opening" or "Night Vision". Drafts can be learned by observing an object that possess the qualities of the relevant draft; for example, examining a blade while it is being sharpened gives the player the "Sharpening" draft.
On his sixteenth birthday (the dawn of his seventeenth year), Bobbin is summoned by the Elders in order to determine his fate. But after they punish Hetchel with the "Transcendence" draft for educating Bobbin, a swan comes. She casts the "Transcendence" draft on all the villagers, transforming all the Weavers except Bobbin into swans who leave through a rift in the sky.
Hetchel, who is now a cygnet, tells Bobbin that the swan (who visits him every year on his birthday) came to save the Weavers from the Third Shadow that is about to cover the world. Bobbin then moves on to find the flock. On his way, he meets other guilds and has several adventures."

That's really cool! I just finished the game a couple days ago. I wish there could have been sequels for it, but just the one game was great. And there is always fanfiction, I guess!
I would have loved this game as a kid, too, but I bet I'd have been really confused. I'm not so good at memorization and I wasn't very patient so it would have been a little hard for kid me. I'm glad I played it now.

Agreed. Bobbin was a huge inspiration for me, and you've captured what's in my memory very well!
