From Wikipedia:
The objective of Journey is to reunite the members of the band with their instruments (and singer Steve Perry with his microphone). Each instrument is located on a different planet, and the musician must first reach the instrument, then make it back to the band's ship without running into an obstacle. Each musician's stage presents a different challenge.
Once all of the instruments have been collected, the band performs a concert while the player controls Herbie, a bouncer whose job is to prevent fans from rushing the stage. Once a fan sneaks past the bouncer, the crowd steals the band's instruments, and the player must reacquire the instruments again in harder versions of the previous planet challenges. The game continues in this fashion until the player has lost all of his or her lives.
Journey features digitized photographs of each band member's head (placed on a cartoon body), as well as a looping excerpt from the band's hit song "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)", played by a cassette player inside the cabinet.

:afro: Make sure you have your samples set up correctly.
popsicle:
Ha, I used to put quarters into this at Crystal Palace in the Brookgate Shopping Center. It says 8-way up above but I'm pretty sure this is a 4-way game.
Let's get the party started -
75,850
kixfan:
This game was on my possible competition list. At this moment I can't imagine why? :badmood:
Nice score Popsicle.
jasonbar:
Game definitely uses an 8-way. You can tell in the planet selection stage.
But during each mini-game, 8-way seems to be disabled or at least generally ineffective. Weird.
44,975 after a few games.
