King of Route 66

Publisher: SEGA Games
Developer: AM-2

An arcade game newly released for the Playstation 2 and featuring the Mother Road, Route 66!!  Many icons of the road are featured in the game, I tried to make screen shots of some of them as I played the game. You have to catch them as you play because alot of times you drive by something and just catch it out of the corner of your eye...it's very fun noticing everything, but it's difficult too, since gameplay is very fast-paced.

Among the locations featured are (in no particular order):

The Launching Pad and Gemini Giant, Wilmington, IL

The Dixie Truckers Home, McLean, IL

The Ariston Cafe, Litchfield, IL

Chain of Rocks Bridge, IL/MO

The Blue Whale, Catoosa, OK

El Rancho Hotel, Gallup, NM

Coral Court, St. Louis, MO

66 Drive-In

Museum Club, Flagstaff, AZ

Baghdad Cafe, CA

Wigwam Village, Rialto, CA

Oatman, Arizona

Santa Monica Pier

The Big 8 Motel, OK
