So, Labyrinth on the NES—yeah, the one based on that weirdly charming Jim Henson movie with Bowie and the goblins. It’s a Japan-only Famicom release, which means you’re either digging for a cart or emulating it. The game throws you right into the maze as Jareth (yep, the Goblin King), and honestly, it’s a little janky at first. You’re tossing magic orbs at enemies while navigating these twisty, same-y looking corridors. The music’s got that classic 8-bit charm, though, and if you stick with it, there’s some oddly satisfying dungeon-crawling here. Just don’t expect it to explain much—half the fun is figuring out what the heck you’re even supposed to do next.
