Labyrinth	Activision (Lucasfilm Games)	1986	[b]Compilation releases:[/b] - Six Sizzlers (together with [game=#34199]Big Trouble in Little China[/game], [game=#35106]Firetrap[/game], [game=#110030]Galactic Games[/game], [game=#36500]The Last Ninja[/game] and [game=#34369]X-15 Alpha Mission[/game])*The protagonist of the game is not Sarah Williams. Rather, a movie goer who is taken into the Labyrinth while watching the movie. Rather than free-form typing two word commands like the vast majority of adventure games, this game uses "word wheels" to construct commands. These wheels are a radial menu, Typical radial menus rotate on the Z-axis. Labyrinth's radial menus rotate on the X-axis. David Fox did this to avoid the player having blindly try various words to find which ones work. This is nice if you are not a text-adventure purist that considers cryptic guessing of key words to be part of the game. This computer game made more money than the movie. This was Lucasfilm's first adventure game and development lead to what became the SCUMM engine. SCUMM's point-and-click interface has its roots in the word wheels of labyrinth.* [4]* [57]* [52]*** [33]	C64
Labyrinth: Maou no Meikyuu	Tokuma Shoten;Activision (Atlus)	1987	Activision did plan to publish this game in the USA. But it seems nothing became of this project. Perhaps there is a prototype in existence. Regardless, anyone dedicated enough to track down a prototype of this game may as well buy the Japanese version to play (English translation patch is available). Once again a Japanese only release of a game based on a North American movie.*Labyrinth is a game based on Jim Henson's Labrinth movie from 1986. The Famicom version is a totally different game from the Lucasfilm Games/Activision adventure game for home computers. Your goal is to find 12 parts of a key to rescue your little brother from the Goblin king. And true to its name the levels are complicated mazes, complete with secret warps and so on. Having a walkthrough and maps at hand really helps for this game. The game is unspectacular but playable and implemented a few interesting ideas, like a level where the forest trees change location or another level where the directional controls are changing randomly. Collected coins and treasure can be spend to upgrade offensive and defensive capabilities as well as buying more time.*Teenager (jail bait) Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) refuses to grow up and during a childish fit, accidentally gives her little brother to the The Goblin King (David Bowie). Needless to say she wants him back (so she won't get in trouble). The Goblin King agrees she can be let out of the deal and rescue her little brother if she can navigate his labyrinth before his clock, with 13 hours instead of 12, runs out. The biggest obstacles are presented by Sarah's refusal to grow up. She insists on collecting junk like stuffed animals, costume jewelery, books for little girls and other such things that adults don't need. Furthermore, the labyrinth is unfair and the Goblin King cheats, often pushing his clock forward. This time limit and unfairness of the movie is included in this game. Us Americans are too dumb and lazy to play an unfair game, so it was never published outside of Japan. [Zerothis]	NES
Labyrinth: The Computer Game	Activision (Lucasfilm Games)	1986	The protagonist of the game is not Sarah Williams. Rather, a movie goer is taken into Jared's Labyrinth while watching the movie. The developers wanted "the player to play the game as himself". Despite the poor choice of pronoun in that quote, in the game, the player must select to be male of female. The game begins as a text-adventure. It becomes a graphics+text adventure when the movie starts. This is a reference to The Wizard of Oz movie. It was suggested by Douglas Adams. Rather than free-form typing two word commands like the vast majority of adventure games, this game uses "word wheels" to construct commands. These wheels are a radial menu, Typical radial menus rotate on the Z-axis. Labyrinth's radial menus rotate on the X-axis.
