The Labyrinth of Time
1993 video game
The Labyrinth of Time is a graphic adventure video game published by Electronic Arts for MS-DOS, Amiga CD32, and Classic Mac OS in 1993. It was created by Terra Nova Development, a team composed of Bradley W. Schenck and Michal Todorovic. The game was intended to be the first in a series, but its reception very mixed and no further games were produced.
The Labyrinth of Time was re-released for Windows, OS X, and Linux in 2004, then iPhone and iPod Touch in 2009, by The Wyrmkeep Entertainment Co. in collaboration with the original developers.
Plot
The story of The Labyrinth of Time is loosely based on Greek mythology. The game begins during the player's commute home from work. While aboard the subway, the player and their train car are suddenly sucked into an alternate dimension. An illusion in the form of the mythological character Daedalus explains that King Minos has forced him to oversee the construction of a labyrinth that spans the space-time continuum. Upon its construction, King Minos will invade and conquer all times and places with his supernatural powers.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1993 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7745063. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2004 and 2009.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
