1986 saw the release of both the Henson / Bowie film Labyrinth and the Ravensberger board game Labyrinth. What was going on in the zeitgeist that created these two seemingly unrelated classics? (slrpnk.net)

Neither seems to be inspired by the other, but share a lot of imagery and mechanics. Do they both owe a common precursor? Or is it the collective unconscious at work?

Remember that personal-computers, and therefore programming were just becoming significant, then..

Programming is labyrinthine..

It was part of the zeitgeist, back then

( so was the cult of impersonal-money, among other people, etc..

There wasn't any "single" zeitgeist,

but rather different cultures each had their own, & coding is nothing, if not labyrinths of logic )
