Labyrinth: The Computer Game
Point-and-click adventure where you navigate a sprawling maze to confront Jareth before a 13-hour real-time deadline expires. Instead of typing commands, you interact through scrolling word-wheel menus—picking conversation topics and actions from rotating lists. The labyrinth presents puzzle rooms and hazards blocking your path, requiring you to figure out solutions while managing the clock. You'll meet characters who can help or hinder progress, and choosing the right dialogue options matters. The time pressure's real: if 13 hours pass on your actual clock, you lose. It's based on a fantasy film but stands alone mechanically. The word-wheel system was unusual for 1986 adventures, trading typing speed for menu navigation. Good fit if you want puzzle-solving with genuine time stakes and don't mind an interface that hasn't aged perfectly.
