I love Journey. I remember going to arcades as a kid and getting so excited when I would see a journey machine. I remember going to the Jersey shore and finding an arcade that had a tabletop model of the Journey game.
I have never seen a Journey arcade machine in person, but had "Journey Escape" for the Atari 2600 around the same early 80's time frame. John, you're so right about Journey being a big part of 80's music... at least here in Canada in addition to your experience... these guys were huge.
That Journey game is great, I've been a fan of their music for a long time. Didn't even know they had an arcade until I saw yours.
The designers’ names (and co-founders of Incredible Technologies) are Richard and Elaine Ditton.
IT also developed the operating system for Data East Pinball/Sega Pinball’s pre-Whitestar hardware, which was a copy of Williams’s System 11 hardware.
Wow, beautiful machine. I read about this game in a ~1990 issue of Nintendo Power, and in that same issue they said a Nintendo game was being developed for both New Kids on the Block (they called them "this generation's Beatles") and Vanilla Ice, but as far as I know those games never got released. I guess it was because the shelf life for those two acts expired on New Years Day 1991 pretty much, lol.
I think it's safe to say that your journey is the crown jewel of your basement.
John, The animated John is fantastic, the sound quality is perfect, I'm glad I could be part of the New Improved UNTETHERED JOHN'S ARCADE.
I played a Journey back in '86 and I believe it had a 4-way joystick. Recently, I played some Journey in mame using 4-way and 8-way controls, I must say that I had much more success and enjoyed playing with 8-way controls.
The new mic sounds superb John! Love the gameplay video of Journey it looks like a really awesome game I wish I had one myself to play. Awesome video John! As always keep up the outstanding work on your awesome videos!
Thank you , sir!
Glad you got your mic and I was able to help a little with that. The journey looks awesome as it should with the time and care you put into it. Mic sounds good and I think it will really free you up movement-wise in your videos.
Excellent video John. Finishes the series of videos of nicely. Just received The Kill Screens CD in the post from Amazon loving that also. Keep up the great work.
Nice! Thanks for watching and enjoy the CD! Thank you!
I have not seen an episode in a while but I like seeing you on the screen
Love Love Love Journey, think its up there with Queen, great singer. Game is fun too, have yet to get past first cycle. Man how have people never heard of journey. Like a Canadian never hearing of helix.
Journey, to most people, will always be Steve Perry (vocals), Neal Schon (guitar), Ross Valory (bass), Steve Smith (drums) and Jonathan Cain (keyboards).
Journey is huge in the UK. Great band! Great machine and a credit to you and the effort you've put into it
i like how you made the beginning shorter,.. just a "hey in this video we're gonna __, ___ and then viewer mail..lets go!" is all you need :)
Thanks, pal!
The new wireless mic sounds great John, I'm really glad folks we able to make that happen for you and sorry I couldn't help. Now I can't wait to hear how it works when you go on the road again.
Maybe you could do a joint video with your buddy Tim, sad to hear about anyone that loses their love for their hobby. It comes to us all but you always end up coming out the tunnel the other side. Share the love John, friends are there to pick each other up. Even if you can do a link-up video if travel is a problem, i know the US is a huge place.
Great gameplay video! I have Journey in MAME and haven't beaten it yet, so I didn't know that it gets more difficult as you go on. What a sweet game.
Cool! We had a Tron game in my dad's workshop for a long time. Then we got the Kiss and 8 Ball Deluxe pinball machines. Great fun!
Mic sounds awesome!!!! thank you for all the time you put into your videos. I really enjoy them. Also, I hope to meet you in Atlanta !!!
Glad to see more thorough Journey gameplay. It looked too easy, only seeing the first level run through. With the difficulty ramping up so fast, it entices me to give it a try. Keep up the good work John!
Hey John what kind of camera are you using? Do you attach a wide angle lens?
Those instruments are shooting the power of music!
Awesome man, The Journey is over. This is the vid we've been waiting for :)
Just acquired a journey cabinet and I’m looking for the parts to complete it. I need a pcb, harness, and tape player. Just a shout out for getting lucky. :). Cool restore, John.
I enjoy playing this game on MAME, but I would love to play it in arcade one day! I know, very few of them were made, but a guy can dream, right? I've played Baby Pac-Man and Professor Pac-Man in arcades, so maybe I'll luck out one day. The songs in this game are all from Infinity, Escape and Frontiers, and they are as follows:
The stage select screen plays "Lights" from Infinity.
Steve Smith's stage plays "Wheel in the Sky" from Infinity.
Ross Valory's stage plays "Keep On Runnin'" from Escape.
Jonathan Cain's stage plays "Stone In Love" from Escape.
Steve Perry's stage plays "Don't Stop Believin'" from Escape.
Neil Schon's stage plays "Chain Reaction" from Frontiers.
The bonus round and the attract mode play "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)". I've seen also that there is an option in the bookkeeping menu of the game where the tape player can be set to play all through the attract mode as opposed to a few seconds' worth, but that would wear it out faster, and plus it would diminish the novelty, which you don't want.
The bezel, control panel, and side art are also based on Frontiers, which makes sense since that album had just come out when this game was made. Journey is my favorite band of all time, so to see and play an arcade machine of this gqame would be a dream come true.
I found a Journey at Game Galaxy in Antioch, TN, and the tape player works! So awesome! For a time I had the high score on it, but someone beat me score. Maybe one day I will take it back.
It’s a bit less obvious, but when you die in this game, the song you hear is “Who’s Crying Now” from Escape. That’s funny to me honestly.
JOURNEY review and game play ROCK!! Congrats on High score. The drama lol. The donkey Kong level was fast and insane. Journey on Mame is really good.
This is so freaking cool!!!
I'm not even a big Journey fan or whatever but this is rad..
I've seen this game at arcades before but had no idea that Journey meant the band Journey
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
Waiting for your return. I miss you John.
Another great video.....Keep up the good work John....Pretty soon you will be touring the country doing meet and greets!! Hopefully you can avoid the burnout stage. Baby steps!! Have a great day pal!!!!
I'll be in Atlanta in June! :)
Dude, i love your video's. Thanks for the great work.
Do I like the game? No not really but I love your enthusiasm for it John and really enjoyed watching you restore it. Journey is one of those bands that just got played to death to the point that I just didn't like them anymore. I think your new Mic picks up game sounds better btw. Sounds great
Loved following this restore. I found out about this game through old episodes of starcade. I wish I can play this on an actual cab. I only could play through mame but it's a fun game nonetheless
A bizarrely awesome game -- love it!
"Oh my god, what are you doing?!" *Neal Schon falls to his death at the hands of John* "Oh my god, uh ..." 28:23 John's little freakout cracked me up for some reason, maybe because he seemed so confident at the start, this being one of the easier levels. lol
I was surprised this game came out in 1983. For some reason I was thinking late 80's and because the graphics looked so good (I didn't know the band members well enough, obviously) and I don't recall a lot of games having digitized graphics in the 80s, when I think digitized graphics, I think Mortal Kombat.
That was a fun look, John!
hey john that was a great gameplay video.
All the work you did on that journey was well worth it John it looks sweet!
AGGGHHHH!!! Scared me with that intro. That said, great tech skills :)
The new mic sounds awesome john...now it's time to get back on the restore vids!!!!
"I watched the entire Journey restore series and survived!" t-shirts?
damn! spooked me just clicking on this video.
Sounds like my money was spent well! Love everything about your channel.
Just got through watching this restore, great job John & well done nutting out all the problems !!
I heard you saying that people dis this game, well I had never played it until after I started watching this restore series.
Am playing it on a multicade PCB, so no music at the stage scene :(
I must say I'm hooked ATM & I would own a real one in a heart beat !!
+PinMan Dan Thanks! It's a neat game for sure.
I would LOVE to own this game! WOW!
The Journey never ends..........
i was born in the UK in Liverpool in 1968. And journey was well known there. I just asked on my facebook and everyone knew journey....
I am starting to think the guys that said this were from the Netherlands! I might have gotten confused.
I would make a bunch of copies of that cassette tape. Those things wear out.
Fantastic. Wondered why you did so much hard work. I now need to play this. Haha.
John, you WILL achieve the high score on journey soon! DON'T STOP BELIEVING and you will achieve it! haha
Hey John - if you place a mark on the floor next to your table, you won't have to adjust the camera so much each time you sit down - do it like the pros! :)
Hey, that's a good idea! :)
Excellent Audio pickup John!
Atlanta? Hmmmm ....Is that near Allentown, Pa???? Look forward to meeting you one day. Have fun in Atlanta.
I like Journey! Gameplay is challenging! I was nervous as hell when you were at 88,000!
Microphone sounds great! It's going to be amazing for you in your tech videos and on the road stuff. No wires!
Thanks, pal! It's gonna be amazing in the garage! :)
Great stuff that you got your Sennheiser wireless!!
I'm a latecomer to your channel, but have been jumping around and enjoying what you do. Love the Journey machine. Excellent work. Here's what I want to know: What happened to the Qix that was in the corner that got usurped by the Gyruss? Maybe you answered this elsewhere, but damn... that's one of my favorite all-time games!! Is it still in the arcade somewhere??
Anyways, keep up the great work!!
Deral Fenderson Thanks for joining us! :) Yeah, QIX left... I sold it. :) Games come and go to keep things fresh! :) Thanks again!
audio quality is great!
New mic sounds great & NO STATIC & CRACKLING haha
Thanks, Dan! I was worried I was going to find out my camera had a bad jack and the new mic would crackle too. Nope. It was the old mic's plug.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech
Yea so nice to hear everything nice & clear & you can move around without that dang CORD now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It picked up the game sounds very well also!!!! I used to have a Journey arcade but dang it gets so HARD too fast!! I think that was the games downfall..Too hard for the average player!!!!
Love the channel John. Pumped to see the rest of the Denver videos. If you're ever in Ohio hit me up. You gotta check out 16-Bit Bar/Arcade.. Keep up the great work. Also the new mic sounds good.
The new Mic is great, I love sennheiser products, good quality stuff.
I think next, is a non-wobbly table. ;) Maybe it just needs tightening or something. Probably getting sick of hearing about. :) Its like a running gag right now.
Hi! sorry could you please tell me what kind of buttons are you using on this cabinet (red button and white button)? What if you could tell me where I could buy them identical to yours? Thanks again!
Gonna put a new topper on there for the Steve Perry album that just came out last month? ;)
Lol, the photographic heads of the band members look like they were edited on, like in a UA-cam Poop or something. Kind of hard to believe the actual machine is running in 512x480 in 1983, considering so many of the game's graphics don't take advantage of this extra resolution from what I presume to be hardware limitations.
congrats on the new equipment, sounds fantastic already but it will really shine when you are working on the machines. i'm not a fan of the journey gameplay but your commentary makes it entertaining and i was rooting for you. dig through your oldest viewer mails coz i sent you a bunch and am still waiting for your response ;)
I've been a subscriber since the Time Pilot restore. We are about the same age and when you mentioned your favorite bands of the 80's, I thought you might mention Styx. It's a shame that Dennis DeYoung and the rest of the band parted ways years back. Are you a fan and if so, do you prefer the classic or later lineups?
Funny, after I said "Journey and REO Speedwagon" I immediately also thought of STYX. When I was a kid "Mr. Roboto" blew my mind. :)
Awesome! Speaking of cassettes, I once had every available Styx album on cassette, from Styx I to Pieces of Eight.
The scene when the band play and you have to stop the crowd is so funny !!!!!
Nice mic by the way.
What else do you need to buy?
What is the song playing during Jonathan Cain's stage?
do you think you'll ever fix the wobbly table? and if so you could do a tech video on it. I would definately watch. thanks for the entertaining vids
Hey John what camera are you using because I want to get one that sharp in that clear
I like it.
hi john can you do a video of you rewiring a coin mechanism to accept coins because i got an old cab that the wires came off the points
What is the Journey song that is playing in the Jonathan Cain level?
Stone in Love by Journey
sexiest arcade ever !...nice job john
Hey John I am restoring my Ms. Pacman where is a good place to get the Side art and Bezel monitor overlays ?
Hey John what video camera do you use?
I have one Journey vinyl, but other then that they where not that big in Sweden either, i never really heard about them much in the 80's.
I love Journey but weird they actually made an arcade that I don't even know? omg
I loved playing this game as a kid. I thought it was so cool they had digitized faces. Never seen that before.
Truck with journey is never retreat... The minute you start backing up in a lot of the stages you will have your ass handed to you.
Haha man you look pretty drunk in that intro! Glad you have fun tho.
Got a link so I can check out out Tim's page??!!!

John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Thanks..!!
Skip to 16:04 for gameplay.
You've got to get on the right side of the screen and get to the line. I did get further than you, though.
Yea. It's OFFICIALLY OVER!
I live in Europe and that explains why i never heard of Journey until now xD
That's weird. Journey was sooooo big in the USA.
I think their albums had some success in the UK, with "Escape" and "Raised on Radio" making the Top 40 album chart, and "Frontiers" reaching number 6.
They also had limited success in the singles chart, with "Don't Stop Believing" and "Who's Cryin' Now" both failing to break the Top 40. Then along came _Glee_. The cast version reached number 2, while Journey's original version reached a new peak of number 6 following Joe McElderry's performance of the song as a contestant on the sixth series of _The X Factor_ (he eventually won the series).
Hi
Could you access the secret room of the game and record it in a youtube video ?
For that you only have to press all buttons (the three of them), and then press left in the title screen.
A room with the credits of the development team will be displayed.
This is described in the history.dat mame file
why you sell the game?
:-(
so at the end of the game the bouncer HAS? to fail , for fans to take there stuff ?
Yeah, he has to and will fail. It gets impossible.
"No guns". Sprite shoots it's way out of every level :S
Hey John, love the video and love the game. I never understood why people hate on this game so much. I used to play it on MAME a lot, but haven't in a while. This was my highest score ua-cam.com/video/XTPfJCxWzqY/v-deo.html
So cant watch videos in 720p and 1080p as it is let alone at 60fps. Ive got 100mb connection but my new ISP Virgin Media throttle you tube beyond use through their own cacheing servers. Not worth watching in anything lower. Sorry John your 60fps has killed my viewing. Anyone else subscribed to this channel having the same issue in UK with VM? I upgraded so i could watch my favourite channels in HD aswell. Gutted.
If you use Mozilla or IE it will play at 30FPS. That's a real bummer!
I know yeah, tried both of them but its my ISP thats throttling and cacheing no matter what i use. People in the UK who use Virgin Media are in uproar here. Richard Branson the bearded shit. lol. Good of you to send that Sennheiser wireless mike back to that guy John, i use them on stage all the time and they aint bad but you do need a wireless one. Get yourself a shed load of 9v batteries. Constantly picking up dead batteries on stage after a gig. The joys of being a Sound Engineer.
craig gilchrist Good luck, Craig! Sorry about your ISP. The mic I picked up uses AA batteries. And, yeah... I realize know this thing is gonna burn through them. One more thing to lug around.
Irl just have to watch you pixelated dude. lol. Not your fault John, love the album by the way. It was mixed nicecly. Love doing CD,s for bands in Cubase. You still doing the Ben Heck thing, the guys a legend.
Already tried that and a few other VPN systems to no avail. I was getting a better stream using ADSL at 7mb connection because my old ISP wasnt throttling or trying to cache you tube to save money on bandwidth.
John - I love your channel, but are you really that thirsty all the time that you can't stop drinking for 10 minutes to do your viewer mail? It's pretty annoying honestly to hear a big gulping sound mid-sentence. Much respect though, just making a suggestion. Maybe wait until between letters? Mid-sentence gulping is kind of distracting.
you don't know what midi is, stop saying that
I have no idea what midi is. Sad
omg u talk to much
Sorry but the Game is bad and the band was equally Bad for me . I doubt they were big anywhere other than USA and Canada. They sold 47 Million Albums in the USA but 90 million World wide, so there was some love for them overseas, and had one Number 6 Song in the UK. That said singer Steve Perry is known everywhere
Journey is such a shit band, Steve Perry is awful. But I would love to play this.
You're crazy! I love Journey.
Lol, I know you do, but you also like Bob Seger... 'nuff said.
Journey is excellent! Bob Seger is excellent! And Journey has some great tunes on those first two albums when Gregg Rolie was the lead singer. Neal Schon plays a great guitar. Music is subjective of course, but you must hate classic rock. You probably love that hideous, soulless pornographic hip-hop rap shit. Now that is shit music!
The original founding lineup from 1973 consisted of Gregg Rolie (keyboards, vocals), Neal Schon (guitar), George Tickner (rhythm guitar), Ross Valory (bass) and Prairie Prince (drums).
(Prairie) Prince leaves group in 1974 to join The Tubes, and is replaced by Brit Aynsley Dunbar, then rhythm guitarist Tickner bows out just before the release of album number 1 in early 1975 to become a doctor, leaving Schon to play all the guitars until Jonathan Cain joined in 1981.
In the summer of 1977, they brought in Robert Fleischmann to be the new lead singer, but longtime Journey fans didn't like him and was ultimately dismissed three months later and replaced by, yes, Steve Perry; but his presence didn't exactly sit well with Dunbar, who was fired in 1978 (he then joined Jefferson Starship) and replaced by Steve Smith (Montrose). Keyboardist Gregg Rolie left Journey in late 1980 after the Japanese tour, and is replaced by Jonathan Cain.
