Journey was kind of like Tron... everybody was good at some of the mini games but not very many people were good at all of them. I think I usually die around level two of Journey, and three of Tron. Nice score!
Thanks! Yes, very much like Tron. Tron was always a favorite game of mine growing up, but certain mini-games in it are still so frustrating to me I've never really tried to score very high.. I like just seeing how many waves I can get through. I was on wave (or "level') 4 of Journey with this score just scrapping up a few more points in Steve Perry's mini game.

MIKEY NICE WORK
I am trying to see if I am going to be within 5 hours of that arcade in October, maybe?
The 2600 game Journey: Escape has nothing to do with this game, right?
Haha I appreciate it. Oh man, that would be cool to meet you over there and show you the games at my house which is a little under a 30 minute drive from there.
So Journey Escape is actually a game I only recently discovered. A friend of mine when I first started playing the arcade game mentioned "Yeah my dad used to play that on the 2600 all the time." But, when I showed him the actual game he was like "Nahhh that ain't it." At random while looking for any other high score Journey vids on YouTube I discovered Journey: Escape and he confirmed that's the one his dad had! While it is definitely NOT the arcade game, this one could give some good practice of dodging vertically scrolling objects; which is a huge mechanic in the arcade game. There is also a little bit of 8-bit Journey music present.
