Journey is an arcade video game released by Bally Midway in 1983. Rock band Journey had enjoyed major success in the early 1980s, and Bally/Midway decided to ride this wave of popularity by creating an arcade game based on the group. Its release was intended to coincide with a US tour by the band. This game uses digitized photographs of the members of the band: Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory. Gameplay Controls consist of an eight-position joystick and a button. The objective is to collect the band's instruments, which have been stolen by crazed alien fans and scattered across five different planets. Each level consists of five minigames followed by a bonus round. The player chooses a minigame by moving the band's Scarab Vehicle onto the corresponding planet on the screen. Each minigame requires the player to maneuver one band member (depicted as a black-and-white photograph of his face on a cartoon body) through assorted obstacles and pick up his instrument, then return to the vehicle. Electronically synthesized instrumental excerpts of Journey songs play during the minigames, and "Lights" plays during the selection screen. Steve Perry: Navigate through a maze of swinging gates to reach Perry's microphone, then shoot and destroy the gates as they descend. Music: "Don't Stop Believin'." Neal Schon: Navigate a cavern using a jetpack to reach Schon's guitar, then return to the exit while dodging or destroying rockets launched from silos scattered throughout the screen. Music: "Chain Reaction." Steve Smith: Jump from one floating drum to another; the first jump on a drum turns it from red to blue, while the second jump makes it disappear. Once all drums have turned blue, the player can collect Smith's drum kit and use it to blast through a swarm of enemies. Music: "Wheel in the Sky." Jonathan Cain: Descend a series of ramps while jumping over moving hurdles to reach Cain's keyboard, then shoot lines of enemies that close in from opposite sides of the screen. Music: "Stone in Love." Ross Valory: Jump from one telescoping platform to another to reach Valory's bass, then destroy the platforms and dodge the projectiles they fire. Music: "Keep On Runnin'." Completing all five minigames takes the player to a bonus round in which the band performs a concert for a crowd of alien fans. The player must maneuver a roadie character to stop fans from
