- mzs 5y agoThere was a Journey game for the 2600, though my friend thought those were hotdogs in the screenshot. There was a pretty rad arcade version as well: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1037411366/journey-arcade-flyer-1983-original https://www.etsy.com/listing/1037411366/journey-arcade-flyer...
- dole 5y agoThe big deal about the Journey arcade game at the time was that it had some of arcade video gaming’s first “photorealistic” pictures of the band’s heads for the game characters… which I’d estimate were probably like 32x32 3 or 4 grayscale colored sprites minus the rest of the characters’s body.
