About Atari 2600 Journey Escape

Journey Escape is a unique video game for the Atari 2600 console that puts players in the shoes of the members of Journey, one of the world’s hottest rock groups at the time. The game’s objective is to guide each band member past various obstacles to reach the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time for the next concert.

The gameplay consists of a vertically scrolling screen that moves continuously, with the player controlling the speed. Players move the band members side to side to dodge obstacles, such as love-crazed groupies, sneaky photographers, stage barriers, and shifty-eyed promoters, all while protecting the concert cash.

To assist the player in their escape, roadies provide short periods of immunity to obstacles, and The Manager, represented by the Kool-Aid Man, grants the player unhindered movement to the Scarab Escape Vehicle. Journey Escape challenges players to navigate the chaotic world of rock stardom while ensuring the band makes it to their next performance on time.

Description official descriptions

You're on the road with the rock band Journey! After each concert, your goal is to guide the five band members to the escape vehicle so they can get to the next concert on time. You start with $50,000 from the concert and need to guide one band member at a time; the screen scrolls vertically, and you need to get past the crowds and various obstacles before time runs out. Trying to slow you down are numerous fans, reporters, promoters, and photographers. Running into each of these will cause you to lose some of the money you start with, and also precious time! Stage barriers and fences will also cause you to lose time, but you won't lose any money if you hit one of these. To help you out, roadies and your manager are also in the crowds. They will give you temporary invulnerability allowing you to run straight through any obstacles. The game ends when a band member doesn't make it to the escape vehicle before the timer runs out. As the game advances, there will be bigger and bigger crowds to avoid, and they will be more aggressive about getting in your way!

Journey Escape

Posted by Aaron Vark on August 16, 2016

Journey Escape - Atari 2600 (1982)

In 1973, former Santana manager Herbie Herbert created a backup group for established artists in the Bay Area of California. Including such Santana Alumni as Neal Schon on lead guitar and Ross Valory on bass, the group eventually became a progressive rock jazz fusion outfit known as Journey. However, it was not until late 1977 when a man known as Steve Perry decided to join the band as their new lead vocalist. From there, they took off like the space vehicles on their album covers, releasing hit after hit and a zenith with the albums of  E5C4P3  and  Frontiers . Like many pop culture icons during the early 1980s, video games were inevitable, and two games – an Atari 2600 game and an arcade game – were made based on the band that never stopped believing.

Journey Escape  opens with a nice title screen of space before the scarab spaceship passes through blasting lasers while the opening riff to “Don’t Stop Believin'” plays. Once the game is started, the player takes command of the five then-members of Journey. Even though there is only one sprite for the player character, the current band member’s initials are at the top of the screen.

The game itself is basically an avalanche-type game, where the player moves up the screen while dodging obstacles coming from the bottom screen. Such obstacles include Love-Crazed Groupies (represented by hearts on legs), Shifty-Eyed Promoters (represented as heads with hats), Sneaky Photographers (which look like eggs with a swivel chair leg), and Stage Barriers (which are basically giant yellow walls). The player starts with a budget of $50000, and every time he tries to run into something he is supposed to dodge, he loses some of his money ($300 for the groupies, $2,000 for the promoters, and $600 for the photographers). There is also a time limit of one minute for each of the stages, and while the obstacles do not necessarily kill the player, they do slow him down and make the journey more difficult. However, the player can get some help by running into a Loyal Roadie (which looks like a robot) for temporary invincibility, or the Mighty Manager (represented by a giant smiley face with a hat and legs) to get invincibility for the rest of the stage and a bonus of $9,900. The player must get the band members of Journey to their Scarab space ship at the end of the stage.

Even though a lot of the game may sound alright on paper or even in video, it does not necessarily work in practice. The game has the bad combination of having levels with 100% complete randomization. In any avalanche-type game, this is not necessarily a good combination as not being able to memorize levels or at least having certain presets can lead to some levels being unbeatable. It would be better to either have the levels to be preset or for the game to be infinite. The graphics are simplistic, but passable, but the music can get grating at times, and the novelty of hearing the opening riff of “Don’t Stop Believin'” on the Atari 2600 wears off after the umpteenth time. When the player gets stuck, the Atari’s infamous collision detection makes it very annoying to get unstuck.

Overall, the game is forgettable except for the fact that it’s based on a rock band. If the famous riff and graphics of the Scarab were taken out, this could be just another bottom-of-the-barrel Atari game.

Journey Escape – FAQ

FAQ (2600) by ASchultz

Remembering Journey’s ancient Atari 2600 video game

If you’re of a certain age, you might have owned an Atari 2600 like this.

In 1982, Atari was hot, publishing both E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Pac-Man , shipping close to 700,000 copies into what they thought was an insatiable market. But then came The Great Video Game Crash of 1983.

So many manufacturers were in the video console game that the market became saturated. At the same time, there was a movement away from consoles towards games played on more powerful personal computers.

Millions of game cartridges went unsold, forcing Atari to dump an untold numbers in a landfill near Alamogordo, New Mexico. It took another two years for the industry to recover.

It was in the midst of this video game irrational exuberance that a company called Data Age released an Atari 2600 game based on the 1981 Journey album, Escape . It was an insanely successful album, featuring singles like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Who’s Crying Now,” “Stone in Love,” and “Open Arms.” A surefire hit, right?

The game was described like this:

You’re on the road with Journey, one of the world’s hottest rock groups. A spectacular performance has just ended. Now it’s up to you to guide each Journey Band Member past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers, and Shifty-Eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you!

The graphics were, er…

Is…is that the Kool-Aid “Oh YEAH” guy? Yes. Yes, it is.

Let’s play, shall we? Love those 8-bit versions of songs from the the album.

One thought on “ remembering journey’s ancient atari 2600 video game ”.

I still have my original 2600, with 42 games and one of them being the Journey Escape game. In this time of “spare time”, maybe I should bring it out and let my kids experience!

Turning on the Atari 2600, I was greeted by the melodic chords of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin". Well, actually, it was a poorly synched rendition of, at most, a dozen notes of that song. Back when I was young, that actually didn't drive me to automatically shut off my Atari � instead, it would cause me to spend a good couple hours playing Journey Escape . I did this fairly often in one of those things that I file into the "WTF WAS I THINKING?" category. Journey Escape puts you DIRECTLY in control of each of the five members of the rock band as they each have 60 seconds to sneak to their escape vehicle after a concert with all the money they supposedly got for playing the show. However, the boys won't have an easy time with this vertically-scrolling trek. Standing in their way are hordes of groupies, crooked promoters and those accused paparazzi. Running into them takes away some of the $50,000 you start the game with. Run out of money or time before the member you're controlling makes it to the vehicle and the game ends. If you get all five members to the vehicle, you get to do the whole thing again....and again.....and again. And since this might be as easy of a game as there was on the Atari 2600, it's very possible to do so until you've flipped the score thanks to accumulating so much money. Not only do all three of the assorted money leeches simple descend straight down the screen (as do walls, which don't take money, but can waste your time), so dodging them is pretty easy; but the band members have allies. Run into a roadie and, for a limited time, no one can rob you of money. Run into the Kool-Aid man (who supposedly represents your manager, but the dudes in the band were probably on so much blow they couldn't tell the difference) and you'll get money and be invulnerable to anything with that band member, making it child's play to run right to the vehicle. Honestly, the toughest thing about Journey Escape is not accidentally running past the vehicle. If it scrolls off the screen, it will never appear again and that band member will just keep running into the night, completely oblivious to the fact his complete ineptitude prevented the group from making their next show. Journey Escape is a really bad game, but one I have a soft spot for in my heart. Before I'd ever even experimented with drugs, this game provided a psychedelic mindtrip for me. Controlling members of a band while they dodge obstacles such as hearts with legs (the groupies) while trying to run into the Kool-Aid Man as horribly rendered music plays in the background just has a way of becoming addictive. It might be a poor game, but it did provide me with a good number of "dumb fun" hours.

That time the band Journey made an Atari 2600 game

As Atari celebrates its 50th year, why not recall the pinnacle of gameplay that was “Journey: Escape” – the vivid Atari 2600 title to match the band.

Believe it or not, Journey signed off on not one but two game versions of themselves in the early 80s – 1982’s Atari 2600 title from mighty developer Data Age, and then an unrelated 1983 arcade cabinet from Bally Midway that even had digitized band member images.

But the Data Age title was next-level even by the hit-or-miss standards of early home Atari titles. There’s so much to unpack here. Why does the band manager look like the Kool-Aid man? How are you even supposed to get through the game play? (It’s both brutally confusing and brutally difficult.) What… is the music that’s playing? (It isn’t Journey, because of course it’s not – they contribute only one recognizable snippet on the title screen, and then you’re in some very abstract Atari sound world.)

Behold. “Don’t Stop Bel– actually, yeah, stop.”

The advertising is as epic as you’d expect.

I’m reminded of this as our friend Adam Young actually played it, apparently, purchased from a grocery store. (Where else?) Amusingly, sounds like Adam only just discovered what was going on in the game from its Wikipedia page.

As the manual explains – sort of:

You’re on the road with Journey, one of the world’s hottest rock groups. A spectacular performance has just ended. Now it’s up to you to guide each Journey Band Member past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers, and Shifty-Eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you!

Mike Ryan for Uproxx went hands-on and did a breakdown of the game’s instructions:

We Bought And Played ‘Journey: Escape’ On Atari 2600, For Some Reason

Maybe you need a proper review before you pull this out of someone’s trash – erm, buy it? ( via )

Sadly, this so far is not part of the Atari 50 anniversary collection coming to game platforms this fall. (That does look fascinating, though, with additional content like interviews – and a great look back at some seriously retro game music.)

There are rumors of surprises for that collection, though, like a hidden E.T. game, so – stay tuned.

Video Game / Journey Escape

Edit locked.

In the game, you must lead all 5 members of Journey through waves of pesky characters and backstage obstacles to the Scarab Escape Vehicle before time runs out. You must also protect $50,000 in concert cash from grasping groupies, photographers, and promoters.

The game is notable in its use of the intro for "Don't Stop Believin'" during the cutscene that plays between rounds. Unfortunately, as with other games of that time period that were symptomatic of The Problem with Licensed Games , the game didn't help its publisher to avoid becoming one of the victims of The Great Video Game Crash of 1983 .

This game provides examples of

• Captain Ersatz : Mighty Manager bears an uncanny resemblance to Kool-Aid Man. But green.
• Celebrity Game
• Cool Ship : The Scarab Escape Vehicle, or at least it was trying to be in the game.
• Cutscene : An animated interpretation of the band's 1981 album cover is used as one.
• Endless Game : You play until time runs out.
• Gold Digger : Groupies in the game, as running into them causes you to lose cash.
• Invincibility Power-Up : Loyal Roadies (they resemble aliens) give you temporary invulnerability when you touch them. Mighty Manager gives you not only longer-lasting invulnerability, but also a cash boost. Invulnerability is indicated by a change to the background music (with different tunes for the two different types of invulnerability).
• It's Raining Men : Or rather, groupies, photographers, and promoters, with the occasional roadie, manager, and brick wall.
• Paparazzi : Photographers in the game, as running into them causes you to lose cash (from "buying the negatives", according to the manual).
• Your main method of scoring points (in the form of money) is getting all five band members to the ship (for which you get another $50,000, plus a bonus of $100 per second of time remaining), and the Mighty Manager gives $9,900 if he appears.
• However, it's far easier to lose points than it is to gain them. You lose money every time you touch Love-Crazed Groupies ($300), Sneaky Photographers ($600), or Shifty-Eyed Promoters (a whopping $2000).
• Timed Mission : You only have a limited amount of time to get each member of the band into the Escape Vehicle.

You're on the road with Journey, one of the world's hottest rock groups. A spectacular performance has just ended. Now it's up to you to guide each Journey Band Member past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers, and Shifty-Eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you! The player must lead the band members to their "Scarab Escape Vehicle" (as featured on the cover) and protect the concert cash from "love-crazed" groupies, sneaky photographers, stage barriers and "shifty-eyed" promoters. Assisting the player are roadies, which provided short periods of immunity to obstacles, and The Manager, inexplicably depicted as the Kool-Aid Man, which allowed the player to move to the Scarab completely unhindered. The screen scrolls vertically non-stop, although the speed can be controlled; the player moves side to side to dodge the aforementioned obstacles.
