I was 10 years old when I played this in a local pool hall in 1981. The game always stuck with me but there was never a way for me to play this at home. When I would describe Route 16 to people, they always thought that I was talking about Rally X. I was so happy in the late 90’s when MAME emulated this. Anyway, great find!
Yeah I don't think it was ever ported to anything. MAME really change the game and helped tremendously in this hobby. Route 16 is definitely much harder than Rally X. I enjoy both games very much though. Thanks for sharing your story!
That artwork inside is amazing! I've never seen that before. Would love to see that up close. Cabinet really cleaned up well. The bottom cut out looks just fine painted.
Yeah that artwork is definitely unique! That bottom cut doesn't bother me so much anymore. It's not like you can find this game everywhere. So I'm going to keep it as original as possible.
Pacman with race cars! I'm blown away, as I honestly never heard of this Route 16 game till I saw the video. Then again, I was only like 2 years old when this game was released, so go figure. The game play really does remind me a lot of classic Pacman. Nice how the checkered flags act like power pellets, definitely inspired by Pacman for sure.
Yeah definitely a unique game for sure! This game came out on my birth year. I've never played it growing up. I only learned about it in the last few years. One just happened to pop up in my area so I had to have it!
Hey thanks! That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for now. I'm still looking for other common ones but mostly the rare ones catch my eye. All of the games you mentioned above will never leave the collection!

Wow I initially thought the old marquee was perfectly fine... but the repo really is awesome. Great graphics. Cool video.
Yeah he really did a great job on it!

Another game for the "not that popular game collection" Awesome! Guzzler, Mad Planets, Swimmer and Route16. I love them all!
