Route-16

About

Route-16 is a 1981 arcade racing game where players control vehicles navigating maze-like rooms. The goal is to collect money bags while avoiding hazards and opponents. Each car represents a different aspect of greed, turning the race into a chaotic scramble for riches. The single-player mode focuses on outmaneuvering rivals in tight, grid-based tracks filled with traps and shortcuts. Wins are determined by both speed and the number of treasures grabbed. The game’s central theme of greed as a driving force sets it apart. Its simple mechanics and frantic pace offer a straightforward but addictive challenge. Though forgotten by most, it remains a quirky example of early arcade design. Players who enjoy fast-paced competition with a dark twist might find it intriguing. Its age shows, but the core idea of racing for profit still holds a certain charm.
