CRV Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 It'd be better if it wasn't so easy. As it is, it's almost sleep-inducing. Someone hack it so you get less time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogoandrei Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I like it also, it's fun for a run or two. It just wears it out quickly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The hate for this game is warranted. It's just a pointless object avoidance jumble. The abstract representations of things is just hideous, I'd rather play Sorcerer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONEMAN Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I've always loved this game. It's fun but I think the premise is what I like most. You have to dodge shifty eyed promoters, sneaky photograhers and love crazed groupies. What can be more fun than that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to dodge shifty eyed promoters, sneaky photograhers and love crazed groupies. What can be more fun than that? Being Batman, being Batman could be much more fun. I have the game and can't really play it. The name was enough to turn me off for some reason. Just never really cared for the game at all.

Adriana Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Not a bad twitch game... not stellar, but wins points just for the random-looking game sprites, and the kitzch value of a vintage videogame that plays "Don't Stop Believin'" ... a song arguably more popular now than when it was first released. It's now become an American Songbook standard. So at least it's a conversation piece! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I've played better Tiger LCD games; Journey Escape stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The leftfield appeal of an obscure vanity title is monstrous, the gameplay is certainly passable. Between the two, it's a pretty decent thing to have around the house. and hell ...it's definitely in the top ten data age games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark68 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I loved Journey when I was a kid. I had Departure, Escape, and Frontiers on LP. Those were the days. Yes, I had the game too. It was pretty fun, but after a few rounds I got tired of it real quick. I still pop it in every now and then but after the whole band "escapes" i'm usually done with it. The song Wheel in the Sky was one that was a lot of fun. My brother and I would always make up nonsense songs, and we'd always include Perry's "I don't know, I don't know..." fron that song when we didn't have any more lyrics to come up with. Wheel in the Sky was a real catchy tune, but the lyrics sure sounded lazy in my opinion. Edited February 23, 2011 by Skylark68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scogey Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Better than it gets credit for. Love the graphics....play it with the lights off on a 60 inch TV!....thats stellar. Although it was very easy to play for a long time....I remember playing it for HSC back in 05 or so and I could play for over an hour it seemed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Journey Escape for VCS is a meh game. The graphics are good, but the play gets monotonous quick. I found a pattern and could go for hours on it years ago, but what's the point? You keep repeating the same playfields over and over ad infinitum.

Frostbite76 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 arcade version was better Agree. I loved the Arcade game but the Atari 2600 one was boring to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Interesting game. I just wish something like Only Solutions could be hacked as a recurring song for Adventures Of Tron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaracs Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 arcade version was better That sorta goes without saying. The Arcade machine had a cassette tape inside of it. How cool is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the throb of a good game of Yars Revenge. I never did find a copy of Yar though. Wonder why he was so hellbent on revenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC-MAN PRIME Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 HUGE Journey fan here, so it's a given that I have much love for this game. Sure, it's not the greatest game ever, but it's silly fun and it has "Don't Stop Believin'" on it. Love! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y, but as for me, repetitive games are no fun. That is why many of the Activision games that people consider great don't impress me. I cannot play Keystone Kapers or Pitfall much at all due to the repetitiveness factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexreed Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 arcade version was better You can say that again! You can stop saying it since Journey Escape and the Journey Arcade are not the same game. Escape came out in 1982 and shares the artwork with the Journey Escape Album from a year prior. The arcade references the Frontiers album which was released in 1983. So one is not a version of the other. The arcade is better though.

So why is the arcade game based on Frontiers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
