Bob Rice, who teamed with Journey to release a groundbreaking rock music video game and represented top-notch composers like Steve Ouimette, Sascha Dikiciyan and Inon Zur in the industry, has died. He was 79.
Rice died Wednesday night of Copd at an assisted living facility in Santa Clara, California, publicist Greg O’Connor-Read told The Hollywood Reporter.
Rice created and executive produced what was perhaps the first rock video game, “Journey Escape.” Released by Data Age in 1982 for the Atari 2600 console and narrated by Casey Kasem, it featured band members Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory and Steve Smith as primitive digitized avatars.
Gamers were tasked in the instructions with guiding each musician “past hordes of Love-Crazed Groupies, Sneaky Photographers and Shifty-eyed Promoters to the safety of the Journey Escape Vehicle in time to make the next concert. Your mighty manager and loyal roadies are there to help, but the escape is up to you!

Celldweller, the electro-rock band and media brainchild of multi-talented artist Klayton, has been a long-time favorite here on FEARnet, and our last visit to their dark futuristic world came in the form of a concert DVD/Blu-ray combo (details here), which documented Celldweller's promo tour for the album Wish Upon a Blackstar; that album also scored our list of Top 10 albums last year. It's been ten years since Klay rolled out his self-titled debut album, and to mark the occasion he'll be unveiling an Anniversary Edition spanning two discs' worth of classic and new material.
