Original language description
The chapter employs avatar theory and comparative methodology to analyse Bobbin Threadbare, the player character in Lucasfilm's Loom (1990), and of the most exceptional player characters in the history of video games. Bobbin Threadbare is not just a fantasy character, but can also be read as an insightful commentary on the relationship between the player and the in-game player character in general. Loom may not be Lucasfilm's most popular adventure game, but has a dedicated following and was called a "work of art" upon its release. The character of Bobbin is key to understanding the longevity and continuous popularity of the game.
