Kingdom: The Far Reaches vs Labyrinth: The Computer Game

Step into the shoes of Lathan Kandor, a young boy guided by the mighty magician Daelon, as you explore the enchanting lands of the Far Reaches. Retrieve three of the five relic pieces of the Hand of Mobus, solve puzzles, and confront the evil Black Wizard in this nostalgic adventure game. Featuring mouse-driven controls, cartoon-like graphics, an in‑game travel map, and original music (with optional mute), Kingdom: The Far Reaches offers a timeless arcade‑style experience for fans of fantasy storytelling.

Labyrinth: The Computer Game is a 1986 graphic adventure developed by Lucasfilm Games and published by Activision. Based on the fantasy film Labyrinth, the game challenges players to explore a sprawling maze, solve puzzles, and avoid hazards while racing against a 13‑hour real‑time clock. Unlike most adventure titles of its era, it replaces the traditional command‑line interface with two scrolling word‑wheel menus, letting players construct simple sentences to interact with the world and ultimately confront the antagonist Jareth.
