Route-16 Turbo is an overhead action driving maze game published by Sun Electronics for the NES in 1985. Blending high-speed driving with tactical maze navigation, the game challenges players to retrieve stolen money bags scattered across a grid of sixteen distinct rooms while evading enemy vehicles.
How to play
Navigate your car through a sixteen-block territory divided into individual rooms. Moving inside a room presents a zoomed-in maze view filled with obstacles, cash bags, and patrolling chasers. Driving through an exit switch onto the connecting highway zooms out to a radar overview displaying the location of remaining targets and rival cars. Collect every money bag on the map and escape to clear the stage before your fuel supply runs out.

Tips
- Use the highway overview map between rooms to plan your route toward isolated money bags and monitor enemy patrol clusters.
- Reserve your Turbo boost (X key) for brief escapes from trapped corners; holding boost continuously drains your limited fuel supply rapidly.
- Clear rooms along the perimeter first so you can loop through the central intersections with fewer enemy cars pursuing you.
