Bay Route (ベイルート) is a 1989 run-and-gun game for the Sega System 16B by Sega and Sunsoft. You play as a special commander Tom or Michel, who must destroy some enemy organization that is holding hostages with an arm cannon that can switch between several weapons with one button and shoot with another button. A third button jumps.

The title "Bay Route" is a pun on the Lebanese capital of Beirut, a city associated with a number of armed conflicts in the late 20th century.

Story

In the year 20XX, an ambitious terrorist group has kidnapped the daughter of an unspecified country's president, imprisoning her in the Embassy located in the Bay Route area, which is a battlefield filled with murderous machines and terrorists^[2]. Special commanders Tom and Michel are issued dispatch orders by the government to find safe passage through the enemy airstrip and rescue the hostages.
