As a kid back in 82 I dumped so many coins into this game, in the arcade of Resorts International Hotel & Casino, in Atlantic City, NJ. My dad worked there in the summers, so I lived in the arcades of the boardwalk. Sadly it is no longer the same. Arcades are all gone now. They had 3-4 Journey machines side by side, & several Pacman, Donkey Kong and Frogger Machines too. They also put up extra monitors on top of the cabinets for other people to watch you play. God I really miss the 80's.

@gjc82071 Thanks for the comment, I always heard of the monitors on top of the games but never saw one myself. 3 or 4 side by side?? That truly must have been a spectacular sight to see.

@zfcamaro Hey, I forgot to ask you, do you have the original cassette that came with the Journey arcade game? If so/not, does it work, did you make a new 1?

[zfcamaro]

@gjc82071 I still have it and yes it works but I don't use it. I recorded on a 3 minute looping cassette for the machine.

This was the first Journey Arcade Game I had. I bought it from another Arcade Collector. I bought my second one off Ebay for $1600.

Man...I remember playing this in the arcades and being amazed. Hard to believe graphics like this and digital music in an arcade game were once considered hi-tech. I miss the days when games made your jaw drop. Real life graphics in games have pretty much become standard and graphics no longer wow you. Old school gamers like myself know what I'm talking about.

I love this game. We use to live near a Ramada Inn where they had this game, but it was messed up. You put one quarter in and get 6 credits. They finally caught on and fixed it.

This game only runs in the real old version of MAME for some reason.

A game based off of one of my favorite bands. How the fuck did I miss this?

[DjJohnnyM68]

i played this game all of 1 or 2 times back when i was a kid..and i still ask the question: what's the point of the game? you got steve perry with a laser gun shooting at some blocks to clear his path to the top...and then you see the band playing...scratches head..but you know? i would buy this standup regardless of that fact..very interesting piece of gaming history.

[ltamodel]

I bet Steve would like to shoot at the band like that for real now.

I reded someshwere taht the machine was going to be able to take pics of the players when you input your initilas, but the idea was cancelled after some dude used the machine to take a pic of his little Steve Perry...

Y'know for the 80s, those graphics look amazing for its time.

I was 8 maybe 9 years old in the arcade...and I can remember a big crowd came around me when I got to the concert level and the music was blasting....Just awesome !

BC Ferries has arcades in their ferries, and I wish they had this game... All they have is a bunch of driving games (like Crazy Taxi and Outrun) a couple fighting games, a first-person tank combat game, and a Namco arcade machine. I never get to use them because I never bring enough change. :(
