Aztec Adventure: The Golden Road to Paradise (ナスカ '88 Nasuka Hachijuuhachi?) is an action game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Master System.

In the game, the player takes the control of Niño, an adventurer who must traverse a maze in search for treasures. While the original Japanese version depicts the adventure in Nazca, the story and title were later changed to be based in Aztec settings for international releases, though the elements of the former culture, including the Nazca Lines, can still be seen. You are not the only one in search for those treasures, other three adventures controlled by the computer will try to foil your plans.

Gameplay involves you trying to reach Paradise by exploring ten different lands,including desert, marshes, ruins, underground waterways, and forest. While exploring you can collect weapons, by destroying plants. A variety of in game weapons can be found, some more powerful than others. Some weapons can be used against bosses, which can take a certain amount of hits from your default weapon, unless you have companions. Your companions need to be hired with gold, and until you pay them they remain your enemies. You must either bribe them or battle them to make them join your quest.
