New description:

 The Wiki instructions for how to extract the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16
 version of Loom has unfortunately suffered some bit rot over the years.
 Not surprising I guess, since it's a fairly obscure version:

 https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=HOWTO-LoomTG16

 - Win32, Tool option 1 - dumpcd: The "Alternative Link" is dead.
 - Win32, Tool option 2 - TurboRip: The link is dead.
 - Linux, Tool option 1 - dumpcd: The source code link is dead.

 I do not have any suggestion for how to fix these links, though I do still
 have a copy of dumpcd-0.1.zip. If the bug tracker allows, I'll attach a
 copy.

 I've also spent some time trying to find a way to extract the data without
 having to resort to exotic tools. I'll attach my work-in-progress script.
 It's as good as I can make it, but perhaps someone will better scripting
 skills can improve it?
