Journey: Restoring Rock & Roll’s Rarest Arcade Game

🎸 Journey: Restoring Rock & Roll’s Rarest Arcade Game 🎮 The '80s had it all—big hair, arena rock, and some of the most legendary arcade games ever made. But did you know that Journey, one of the biggest rock bands of all time, had their very own arcade game? That’s right! In 1983, Bally/Midway released Journey, a game that put players in control of the band members as they battled to recover their stolen instruments—complete with digitized band faces and a cassette-powered soundtrack! At Electric Starship Arcade, we tracked down this ultra-rare piece of gaming history, and now, we’re taking you behind the scenes as we restore, repair, and bring this rockin’ relic back to life! From sourcing original parts to reliving the magic of Journey’s legendary music, this is one restoration you won’t want to miss!
