LOOM is a graphical adventure game, originally released in 1990, published by LucasArts (known at the time as Lucasfilm Games). It was the fourth game to use the SCUMM engine.

The original project was led by Brian Moriarty, a former Infocom employee and author of some classic text adventures such as Wishbringer (1985), Trinity (1986) and Beyond Zork (1987).

For example, in the "Scumm Bar" in The Secret of Monkey Island, there is a character from LOOM dressed as a pirate with a button on his shirt that says "Ask me about LOOM", who will happily divulge marketing information when so asked.
