If this game took place in a normal American suburb, it would be a breeze. This suburb, however, is far from normal. There's no timer, so you can deliver your bundle of newsprint as slowly or as quickly as you want.
But even Easy Street, the game's first level, is a literal mine field of wandering drunks, giant cats, bratty kids, skateboarders, and moving vehicles. The game, like the original arcade hit, has you pedalling diagonally across your screen, from the lower left hand comer to the upper right hand comer. Obstacles spring in front of you, or jump at you from your left, which is where you have to throw your papers. At the end of each day, you're awarded points for each successful delivery -- double points if you delivered I your papers to EVERY customer.
ProTip: On Easy Street, take your time delivering to the first two houses, and don't worry about the rest If you only have two subscribers and you deliver every tone, you'll net points total x2 each day. Plus, you'll have an easier time making it through the week. Paperboy is a faithful translation of the arcade classic, complete with all the thrills and spills that made the original so popular. Tengen has even improved the game by adding plenty of digitized voices. Paperboy may not prepare you for the working world, but it certainly will clue you in to some of its hazards!
Here's another arcade conversion You take the role of the periodical heaving kid whose job it is to deliver papers to every house on his route.
Chuck papers through the windows of non-subscribers for bonus points. Avoid dogs, traffic, and other typical paper-delivering hazards while trying to satisfy your current subscribers.
Read all about it! Now you can play the arcade classic Paperboy anywhere you want to with the Atari Lynx! And Paperboy fans everywhere will be elated to know that this version is extremely faithful to its arcade forerunner and is every bit as fun. You need some spending money, and delivering the local newspaper is the only job around. To your dismay, you discover that your new route is fearfully called "Calamity Way.
Your objective is to make it through an entire week 7 days without losing all your customers-or your lives. At the start of each day, you get a map of the houses on your route. Then, mounted on your trusty bike, you deliver papers to all the yellow houses. Be careful not to miss a delivery or accidently break a window because these customers will cancel their service. And don't deliver any papers to the creepy non-customers. At the end of each day, your customer map turns any residences you lose into grey non-customer homes.
A multitude of hazards stands between you and your deliveries. Keep an eye out for kamikaze trikes, radio-controlled toy cars, road workers, rabid pets, and other nuisances intent upon knocking you off your route! You also have to cross intersections terrorized by speeding bikers and sports car nuts! In addition to completing your week's deliveries, try to accumulate as many points as possible since every 10, points scores an extra life.
The easiest way to build up your score is to consistently deliver papers to your customers, but you can also accumulate points if you terrorize non-customers by breaking their windows, knocking over their garbage cans, or smashing the gravestones in their front yards. Additionally, you score by ramming obstacles and completing the obstacle course at the end of the day. Paperboy shines as well on the Lynx as it does in the arcades.
The graphics are nicely detailed, and the gamepiay is easy to control. However, arcade vets will notice that the signature Paperboy theme song and sound effects aren't up to par. Despite these minimal shortcomings, this light-hearted game is a welcome change of pace from the usual hack'n slash high jinks and space shoot-em-ups. Paperboy really delivers! This translation of Paperboy for Lynx brings home all of the action from the coin-op. Peddle your bicycle through the neighborhood delivering papers to your subscribers' homes.
Watch out for mad dogs, remote- controlled cars, and careless drivers as you try to survive an entire week in the burbs. If you make it through the week, you get to keep your job! Do, so-called "cute games" flooded the family amusement centers. Atari Games led the way with many machines which attempted to combine strong action elements with ultra-charming graphics. Titles such as Zoo Keeper and Food Fight gained some popularity, but they never matched the fame of the earlier hits.
Arcades were in one of their periodic recessions, so most of these games never got home editions. Perhaps the most entertaining of them all was Paperboy. Now, thanks to Mindscape, home computer gamers can enjoy the challenging play and sparkling animation of this largely forgotten classic.
Clearly, it couldn't have fallen into better hands than those of the good folks in Northbrook. Despite its age, Paperboy doesn't look a bit like an antique. The Amiga edition, in particular, features some of the most delightful artwork and animation seen in any game this year. The theme is so mundane that, in a sea of wild fantasies and phantasmagoric science-fiction disks, it seems strikingly different. The player guides a bicycle-mounted paper delivery boy along the streets of a small town.
The goal is to deliver all the papers by tossing one into each subscriber's box. What could be easier than that, right? Perils appear from every direction, even at the simplest of the game's three skill levels. It is no coincidence that the gamer gets six "lives", twice as many as in games that seem harder because they move at higher speed.
In truth, Paperboy is almost leisurely compared to Mindscape's other arcade-to-home translations, but it is no pushover even for experienced gamers. The bicycle can't make sharp turns, so obstacles must be identified quickly if the player is to have even a slim chance of avoiding them. Pedestrians dash into the bike's path, boom boxes and toys litter the sidewalk, loose rolling tires can send the paperboy sprawling, dogs nip at heels, and impassible gates block the sidewalk at several points.
When the hero crosses the street, reckless vehicles rush through the crosswalk, oblivious of his safety. And if circumstances force the bicycle into the street, open manholes and treacherous sewer grates cause nasty spills. The goal is to get the paperboy through his route in one piece while delivering papers to all the houses with paper boxes. These houses are easily distinguished by their yellow paint scheme.
The gamer must look for boxes labeled "subscriber" in that version. A bonus screen appears at the completion of the route. Download 95 KB. Play in your browser.

No longer are you limited to straight up and down streets. Now, your route has twists and turns, and more dangers then ever before!

The object is the same: deliver papers and gain new customers, smash windows, stop burglars, and just make a mess.
Oh well, a little vandalism never hurts in a video game Paperboy is back and this time he has even more obstacles to deal with. These include haunted houses with gargoyles that shoot at you, forts that shoot cannons, baby carriages, tire rolling men, and plenty of other humorous displays. You can choose to be a paperboy or a papergirl. Deliver the papers to the people on your route and be a menace to the people who are non-subscribers. Get big points for throwing the papers in the mailboxes.
You also get points for breaking windows and hitting people who get in your way. Make sure that you deliver papers to the subscribers on your route or you will take the risk of getting fired!
Try not to crash too many times because that will also get you canned. Avoid your obstacles and make it through the week to advance to other streets.
Expect more challenges and more variety, with left and right sidewalks in this version. Go through a massive obstacle course in order to make your way through the neighborhood. This sequel to the classic coin-op features an all new neighborhood to explore and deliver papers to.
Improved graphics and sounds plus a variety of new aspects to the game play make it even more fun. You take on the role of an ordinary paperboy or girl delivering papers to all the subscribers on the street. But there are plenty of obstacles in your way such as loose dogs and swarms of bees.
Also non-subscribers to annoy and also criminals to catch. Hell, some people shoot cannon balls at you! What a neighborhood!
Haunted houses, sewer monsters, living scarecrows, mad dogs and heaven only knows what other dangers lie around every corner. Being a paperboy may be a good way to make some extra cash, but you have to survive first.
Just staying on your bike in this paper-tossing contest is a challenge, let alone not getting run over by speeding cars or nabbed by creepy supernatural beings. But such are the hazards you must face in the Genesis version of Paperboy 2. In this perennial favorite, the object of the game is to deliver newspapers to all your customers.
But, as you ride your bike through town, tossing papers onto porches or into mailboxes, you must also avoid more obstructions than you'll find in a military obstacle course. These obstacles include rolling tires, runaway baby carriages, dogs, cars, ghosts, baseballs, swarms of bees and much more. Luckily, you can stop most moving obstacles by bopping them with a newspaper, but others you must avoid by pure pedaling prowess.
On the plus side, many objects can, when hit, help you rack up bonus points. Sometimes you'll even use your newspapers to stop robberies at the local market or gas station, and so become the town hero.
