🎸 Journey Through Arcade History: Rock Out with the 1983 Journey Arcade Game at Electric Starship Arcade! 🎮
If you’re a fan of classic rock and classic arcades, you’re in for a legendary treat! We’ve just added a rare and iconic game to our lineup—the 1983 Journey arcade game! That’s right, the only arcade game based on a real-life rock band is now ready to play at Electric Starship Arcade!
🎮 What Is the Journey Arcade Game?
Back in 1983, Bally Midway had a wild idea: turn one of the biggest rock bands in the world into a video game. The result? A one-of-a-kind, space-themed adventure starring Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory, and Steve Smith.
The plot is as rock ‘n’ roll as it gets—aliens have stolen the band’s instruments, and it’s up to YOU to help them get them back! Each band member gets their own mini-game where they must recover their instrument in a different sci-fi-inspired level. Once all the instruments are collected, the game culminates in an epic concert finale featuring a digitized loop of Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).
🎶 Fun Facts About the Game
🔹 Digitized Rockstars: This game was one of the first arcade games to feature digitized photos of real people! The developers took actual photos of the band’s faces and placed them on pixelated, animated bodies. It may look a little weird today, but back in 1983, it was cutting-edge technology!
🔹 A Lost Piece of Rock History: Due to licensing costs, many Journey arcade cabinets were scrapped after the band’s popularity shifted, making this game incredibly rare today.
