Inside the Arcade: “Journey” (1983)

We couldn’t stop believing what we were seeing

I wish I could make Journey the arcade game make sense. I suppose it would be easy to say, “Hey it was the ‘80s. There was a lot of cocaine and people really really liked money. So much that they would do things they knew they shouldn’t just to try and get their hands on more of it.” But that would only cover the half of it.
