satan165's Dusty Video Game Museum - Journey Escape

RSS Bot · October 31, 2010

I am not sure exactly when I became aware of this game's existence. I remember showing Chasing Ghosts to a friend and he pointed out the game in this scene:

That got me interested to check it out. It's interesting that Todd chose to have the game play in the background because I think it is the most amazing and most unsung achievement in console gaming and possibly gaming in general.

It stands as the longest video game marathon ever as far as I know, lasting over 72 hours. The sheer drudgery of the game after 15 minutes....repeated literally thousands of times and the amount of luck necessary to keep it going (especially when you are under high levels of duress due to exhaustion) boggles the mind.

The game play is as such: you must guide each of the five members of the band through obstacles to their vehicle (as shown on the cover of their album, 'Escape') within a set time limit. You repeat until all members - one by one...
