Journey Escape Frankenstein's Monster |
Data Age was a California-based video game company that developed and published titles for the Atari 2600 platform in the mid-1980s. Among their more well-known titles were Journey Escape (a tie-in with the band Journey) and Frankenstein's Monster, both published in 1982.
Titles
Data Age released fewer than a dozen games, of varying quality; Frankenstein's Monster has been cited as a standout among Atari 2600 games by several game reviewers,[1][2] while Sssnake (1982) is considered one of the platform's worst titles.[3] Journey Escape also received poor reviews, and heavy licensing fees combined with weak sales helped lead to the company's failure.[4]
Other games released by Data Age include Airlock, Bermuda Triangle, featuring a title treatment and box cover illustration by Marc Ericksen, Bugs, Encounter at L-5 and Warplock (all 1982).[4] An unreleased prototype, Secret Agent, was also developed.[5]
