Ooh interesting. Tried really hard to get on with this game having loved pretty much all of Lucasarts other graphic adventures, but just found it slightly awkward enough that I gave up after a few hours. Even looking at a guide I thought "there was no way I'd have thought of doing that in a hundred years". I think Lucas perfected the point and clicker in the following years, but this was very much a prototype for what would follow.

Well today I learned there was a Labyrinth point and click game! Don't think I knew that before it was mentioned on the show. I will definitely be checking it out.

It's a 'sort of' point and click - more of a prototype.
