- A maze/platform game where 5 rock musicians travel through the galaxy to retrieve their musical instruments from 5 planets. After they have been retrieved, they perform their hit song at the concert.
1st PLANET - Microphone : Steve Perry must pass between the turnstiles without touching them, get his microphone, and shoot his way back to the Scarab. The background song for this scene is 'Don't Stop Believing'.
2nd PLANET - Bass : Here, Ross Valory must leap onto the elevating pedestals, timing his assent to grab his bass as it passes by him at the top of the screen, and shoot his way back to the Scarab. The song played in the background here is 'Keep On Running'.
3rd PLANET - Keyboard : Here, Jonathan Cain must leap the moving conveyor belt ridges without being touched to reach his keyboard and then must shoot his way back to the Scarab. The background song here is 'Stone in Love'.
4th PLANET - Guitar : With his jet pack, Neal Schon must traverse the dangerous passages in this cavern to finally retrieve his guitar and then fight his way back to the Scarab. 'Chain Reaction' plays in the background here.
5th PLANET - Drums : Steve Smith must jump from drum-head to drum-head, landing on all of them at least once in order to reach his drums. He then must shoot his way back to the Scarab. 'Wheel in the Sky' is the background song here.
This was the world's first commercial video game to have graphics using photographs of people known as digitized sprites. The band members' pictures were taken by Ralph Baer (a father of home video game console who released magnovoxx odyssey, the world's first game console).
Journey, the arcade game is not nearly as good as other arcade game with musicians such as Aerosmith's Revolution X or Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. I prefer to play those arcade games than this.

For those of you wondering what all of the Journey songs are in this game for each of the levels, they are:
Steve Perry - Don’t Stop Believin’
Neal Schon - Chain Reaction
Ross Valory - Keep On Runnin’
Jonathan Cain - Stone In Love
Steve Smith - Wheel In The Sky
Planet Select Screen - Frontiers
Losing a Life - Who’s Crying Now
Planet Clear - Lights
Actually the select screen is Lights.
Copyright notices given to simple entertaining videos has ruined alot of great UA-cam channels I used to like
At the conclusion of all five challenges, the arcade version would play a cassette recording of seperate ways while you blocked out the crowd. Unfortunately, there is no recording put in for the mame version. However, i got around that by using a journey's greatest hits CD and just played that when i got to this stage.
Same, but for every game
Steve Perry is the big one! Go Steve Perry!
The reason why the music at the bonus stage is muted is due to a hardware limitation of on the arcade emulation.
Cite from KLOV entry on Journey:
"Most of the game's sounds and music is generated by two AY-3-8910 chips. During the bonus round, a cassette player inside the machine plays a loop tape of Separate Ways Worlds Apart. Electronic Journey songs include: Chain Reaction, Do not Stop Believin', Lights, Still They Ride, Stone In Love and Wheel In The Sky."

No, it has nothing to do with that. It was muted to avoid receiving copyright notice that UA-cam might detect and that's unfortunate.
There’s just something about the music in the game that’s just so unique considering it’s just mostly tracks made by Journey themselves.
I didn't even know they had an arcade game. Strange.
I remembered it. I hated journey, hated the game sorta, but played it anyway.
4:23-5:01, the Wheel in the 🌌 keeps on turning!
Where is the audio? Half the greatness of this game is the music by Journey
It was muted to avoid receiving copyright notice that UA-cam might detect and that's unfortunate.
no one wants to hear audio of journey’s terrible music
@@captaingoodguySentientA.I. and whats wrong with JOURNEY?? yeah some of their stuff has been way overplayed but there are some deep cuts that are actually pretty killer ...
@@captaingoodguySentientA.I. Boooooo. Journey from that era was pretty good. Overplayed, yes. The whole point of this game was to get to the concert at any rate.
@@captaingoodguySentientA.I. Journey have great music!
I played this a ton.
i see you muted the tune, but that's OK. it's not important. Just don't stop believing!
That tune when all five instruments are recovered was "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)."
The music for the end stage wasn't actually part of the game program. The arcade machines had a physical cassette loop inside them which would trigger when the end stage was reached, playing a real recording of Journey over the sound effects.
Best game of the century, i never saw this in arcade hall. 8:00 play astro invaders.
oooh.... JOURNEY. I get it.
Wow, I barely remember this game - I can't remember if I played it, but I'm pretty sure I did.
Awww, no "game completed" demonstration? I wanted to see what happens if "Herbie" can keep the crowd away from the stage, and for how long (an entire Journey song? And which song? Is it different each time? Wiki says it's their "hit song" but does not specify which hit).
I could never complete a single level of this game - its easy in theory but near impossible in execution - the controls were so sensitive on the one machine I ever played ; the slightest tap sent the character flying across the screen at full speed - no prayer of getting anywhere.
So I certainly have no idea if this game ever has a formal conclusion and ends, or if it just repeats on increasing difficulty (LOL! good lord what must THAT look like??) til all "lives" are expired?
Weird, In my mind the game had real music playing all those years ago. I always played the drum planet first because Wheel in the Sky was my fav song.
Is this the first videogame based on a band? There's not many of them so I imagine it is
Videogame?? Probably. And I can't come up with another "arcade" game that featured a band. LOTS of home/console/computer games featured artists and bands...of course "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Star" have much music, of course. Now....fi you want to talk about PINBALL games...some of the best were the KISS table, The Who's Tommy, of course...and even a table called "Beat Time", that due to some strange copyright/timing issues, features a well-known band named....The BOOTLES...
these games look like they're straight out of an animutation or something, with the cut-and-paste heads
80s cheese.
an embarrassingly horrid game. how this passed playtesting is beyond me.
ms3bani I always thought it was one of the worst games ever made. Just horrible.
ms3bani this was the early 80s. Why do expect it to be that good for that time?
@@greenhornet8262 Because there were good games at the time like Donkey Kong or Missile Command? Just because it's from the early 80's, doesn't mean it has a right to be crap.
Melanie L. Donkey Kong was just as bad
@@greenhornet8262 ROFL!
Steve Perry is really sucks at this game!
