I discovered an unintentional effect of changing from text to graphics mode when you start this demo. The system used is a Tandy 1000 TL, and it emulates the Hercules card very well. Unfortunately many games tend to freak out when they detect a Tandy 1000 and default to the Tandy 1000 graphics modes, which tend to cause the sync issues shown at the beginning of this video.

You have to love those slow response phosphors. Also, the retail version of LOOM never had support for Hercules graphics, so this is as close to official Hercules support as you can experience with this game.
