Blue was summoned to get rid of the Daruma tribe, and save Raguy from the Daruma Empire that has turned the inhabitants into slaves.
You control Blue, who only has one weapon to deal with the Darumas.
You can use his leaf to whip enemies upside-down, and hurl these enemies at others.
Along the way, you can get flowers for use at the shop to buy items that will help you along the way.
These items include flower honey (increases stamina), swim fins (easier swimming), light safe (protects all your items), spikes, and ocarinas.
Later in the game, you can also get the shopkeeper to sing you a song.
This helps you break curses that are placed on you by a witch.You will also interact with other characters along the way that can also help you if you tell the truth.
You exit each stage by jumping on a huge plant.
The higher up you are on this plant, the more points you are awarded.
Every two or so stages, you have to defeat a boss before a guy in a devil suit offers you something.
You can refuse or accept the other.
If you accept the offer, you will have to pull one of four strings that will give you a life ball, more stamina, 30 flowers, cocoons, or five flowers.
You are on a time limit.
If you run out of time, a black creature appears out of nowhere, and starts firing "bird" missiles at you.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Journey Escape for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Journey Escape to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1982.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Journey Escape, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
