According to the Rarity Guide, it's for the Atari XE.

Yeah, an old Atari 8-bit game. Roklan published some great games (Wizard of Wor to name one) for the Atari 8-bit, but this JTTP was a dud.

You sure you're not talking about the book Easy Journey To Other Planets by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktidevanta Prabhupada?

wow thanks guys for your fast answer. Its exactly what I was looking for
It's a fun game and surprisingly complex for a 16K cart. It was the second or third game I ever got for my Atari 800XL as a kid, and unfortunately I threw away the box (took awhile before I started keeping all that stuff). And while it's hardly impressive graphically for an Atari 8-bit game, I think the 2600 would be hard pressed to pull off some of the stuff in the game (such as the sprite work).

My cart's been in a covered Rubbermaid tub tucked away in a dark storage shed, but when I came across it a few weeks ago the text wasn't readable anymore it had faded so much. I guess the labels on Roklan carts just weren't made for long period durability like other companie's labels.
