Labyrinth

Trivia

This is the final game Lucasfilm games division developed before they began publishing their own games.

This game uses a text interface system for commanding the character, a system used before the better-known SCUMM game system used in their next game, Maniac Mansion.

According to a source at Wikipedia, one of the more playful elements of this game -- the "tricked you!" transition from text-based gameplay in the mundane world through the movie screen into graphical gameplay in the fantasy world -- was a brilliant piece of game design lateral thinking courtesy of author Douglas Adams during a week-long brainstorming session in London.

(Also reflecting Mr. Adams' peculiar sense of humour was the inclusion of the verb "adumbrate" in the list of selectable actions... certainly not one with many applications in the game!)
