and here's some footage of the game....

I prefer to put that vid on mute and just watch the game. Looks trippy. Makes me think, what the hell were they smoking when they made it?? lol

Thanks for the footage. I forgot that "Kool-Aid Man" will take you straight to the van :lol:

I had this game as a kid. We bought it for $5 at the grocery store (all Data Age games were $5). It wasn't my favorite game but I thought it was fun. I definitely played it several times while Journey was playing on my stereo. I also bought a Bermuda Triangle at the same store (Owens) for $5 although it was a during a different grocery shopping trip.

Where are there Owens grocery stores? We had Data Age (and Apollo) offerings in a grocery store in Libertyville, IL. Eagle grocery store had 'em. That's where I got my copies of Bermuda Triangle, Journey, Space Chase and Infiltrate. Had 'em in these cardboard standup displays near the end caps. I don't remember them being as cheap as $5 though but I guess that's not out of the realm of possibilities. Probably was between $5-$10 now that I think about it since I had so many of *those* games. All of them are very cool though for what they are and were definitely worth the paltry sum they fetched.

Owens is a tiny chain in Northern Indiana. It's part of Kroger now but it was independent when I was a kid. The games were in a glass case at the service desk. It's possible that you had to have a qualifying purchase to buy one at $5. I know I got Journey Escape and Bermuda Triangle on two different occassions. I also had Sssnake but I think we got that at Kay-Bee clearance bin later. Sssnake really sssucked.
