Labyrinth ( video game ) Labyrinth is the first video game based on the film , produced by Nintendo in association with Henson Associates , Inc . for the Famicom system ( a precursor to the NES ) in 1986 . The game was produced exclusively in Japan and did not see an American release . Besides a brief opening sequence which appears in English , the entire text of the game is Japanese . An unofficial English translation is available . Gameplay and Elements . The game opens with Jareth talking to the player ' s character as if he or she was Sarah , searching the Labyrinth for Toby . The play is similar to the original " Legend of Zelda " game , with an overhead view and an items menu accessible when the game is paused . ( This menu features in - universe items collected by the player , such as Sarah ' s jewels , candles , books , and coins . ) The player ' s character can throw rocks at oncoming enemies , earning points . Weaker enemies ( such as Fairies and small Goblins ) are repelled with the hit of a rock ; stronger foes ( such as larger Goblins and Fireys ) are stunned . A clock in the upper left corner of the screen counts down from 13 hours . When a player is hurt by the attack of an enemy ( either by contact or from magic orbs being shot at the player ' s character ) , minutes are taken off the clock which , when expired , ends gameplay . Despite the technological limitations of the Famicom , the game is remarkably well adapted from the film . The player ' s character has many of the same pivotal encounters Sarah experienced : the player ' s character converses with the Worm and the Wiseman , and progresses through areas of the game in the same order that they appeared in the film . The game also parallels the difficulty in navigating the Labyrinth , as it can be confusing and players can easily get lost in the mazes . Hearts can be found placed sporadically about the levels . These hearts are then assigned to either Hoggle , Ludo , or Sir Didymus . When enough hearts are found and delegated to one of these characters , the player may elect to play as that character .
