Gaming in 1986 - An Overview, Part III: The Computers
The American computer market around this point was a four-way competition between Apple (already on the third version of what would would eventually be named Mac OS), Commodore and their Amiga brand, Compaq, and Microsoft's Windows.
While it slipped under everyone's radar at first, this would be the year Lucasfilm would expand into video games, with an adventure game based on the cult classic film Labyrinth.

Its underground success would lead Lucasfilm Games to try out another adventure game based on a movie; this time Little Shop of Horrors. While not quite as successful, both games kept the newly-founded division afloat.
