Labyrinth game?

It's a bit dated at this point (although I just looked up the date and discovered it's playing at a theatre here, where I live, today!), but I've always been fascinated with the concept of the movie Labyrinth or, more specifically, the idea of labyrinths and mazes. It doesn't really matter what form they take - corn maze, maze gardens, Labyrinth, that old Prodigy game that always crashed when I tried to play it.

Long story short, I would love to play a game that takes place in a labyrinth of some kind. Not just a maze, but a place with traps and monsters and what-have-yous (which is why I brought up the movie Labyrinth - it's a good example, IMNSHO). I've got dozens of ideas of how this game could work, but... well, let's just say there are roadblocks to starting my own game.

While I'm familiar with a wide variety of systems, I think the best for this type of game would be Pathfinder. I think it would be great to start at low levels and work our way, as a group, up to higher levels. Far as I care, there doesn't even need to be a point to the game beyond seeing what's past the next corner (or across the next pit, or through that door marked "Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here").

Is anyone interested in/in running this concept?

I've had a it of interest in this, but so far all attempts have fallen through. Still looking for a GM.

During my discussions with one potential GM it came up that GURPS could also work for this type of game (possibly even better than PF, given the versatility of the GURPS system). I'm not sure why that hadn't occurred to me previously, but there you have it.

I'd be interested in running this, but my preferred system would be D&D or Basic Fantasy.

Unfortunately I don't have any familiarity with those systems, and I don't have time (or money!) to learn new systems. :/

Still looking for someone willing to put this sort of thing together, either for me alone or for a small group of players.
