🎮 Play Route 16 Set 2 Online (Arcade)

Route 16 is a classic top-down driving maze game released in arcades in 1981, sharing similarities with Rally-X and Pac-Man. You control a car navigating a grid of 16 distinct rooms to collect bags of money while avoiding relentless enemy vehicles. What sets Route 16 apart is its dual-scale map system: leaving one of the detailed maze rooms zooms the view out to a radar screen showing the entire 4×4 grid, allowing you to plan your route to the next room.

How to Play

Your objective is to clear all the money bags from the 16 rooms without crashing into an enemy car or running out of fuel. You start with standard arcade controls: use the directional keys to steer your vehicle through the maze, insert a coin with Shift, and press Enter to start. In the zoomed-out radar view, quickly decide which room to enter next while avoiding the radar blips of pursuing enemies.

Tips

• Use the radar effectively: The zoomed-out view is safe from immediate collision, but fuel constantly depletes. Use it to quickly transition between rooms rather than lingering.
• Predict enemy movement: Enemy cars try to mirror your path or box you in. Wait near a room exit to bait them into entering a different room on the radar, then slip into your target room safely.
