[edit] Plot
From the game's manual:
- You're on the road with Journey, one of the world's hottest rock groups. A spectacular performance has just ended. Now it's up to you to guide each Journey Band Member past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers, and Shifty-Eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you!
[edit] Gameplay
The player must lead the band members to their "Scarab Escape Vehicle" (as featured on the cover) and protect the concert cash from crazy groupies, sneaky photographers, and dishonest promoters. The screen scrolls vertically non-stop, although the speed can be controlled; the player moves side to side to dodge the aforementioned obstacles.
[edit] Music
Despite the title, the song Escape is not featured in the game; the intro tune is an excerpt from Don't Stop Believin', which is also on the same album. The in-game music, however, appears to be an original tune, rather than based on a Journey song.
