Journey to the Planets is game for the Atari 8-bit family. The player takes on the role of an interplanetary adventurer who has to solve various puzzles on the planets on which he lands. The game was originally released on disk and cassette in 1982 by JV Software. In 1983, Roklan Software published a cartridge version with some differences from the original.
When starting the game, you find yourself on a strange planet where you can equip yourself with a weapon, refuel your energy, and blast off into space in a spaceship. From here you must pilot through space while avoiding comets and conserving energy until you come across a planet to explore. After skillfully landing on a planet you've discovered, you must fend off hostile aliens, solve puzzles, and recover various artifacts. Energy is consumed by your spaceship, your weapon, and upon dying. Your ultimate goal is to return to your home planet by exploring the universe and solving the various puzzles you're presented with.
