Discovering the 1986 'Labyrinth' Graphic Adventure Game, 37 years later

After David Fox gave me the idea, today I'm playing the 1986 'Labyrinth' graphic adventure which was based on the film. Beyond the involvement of Douglas Adams, the game has quite an interesting premise, as you play as a character with the name and gender you choose, wearing a shirt in the colour that you pick, going to watch the film and being drawn into it by Jareth, having to solve several puzzles before 13 hours pass in order to escape.

The animated adaptations of 'Wyrd Sisters' and 'Soul Music' are worth a watch


 

Again having Tumblr to thank for resurfacing the old animated Discworld adaptations of 'Wyrd Sisters' and 'Soul Music'. The animation might look dated by modern standards, but a lot of talent, heart, and effort went into those mini-series, and the character of Death is actually voiced by *the* Christopher Lee.

They're a bit hard (and pricey) to come by these days, but they are available on YouTube, if that works for you.
