Paperboy is an arcade action game developed and published by Atari Games,[7] and released in 1985.[1] The player takes the role of a paperboy who delivers a fictional newspaper called The Daily Sun along a street on his bicycle.[8] The arcade version of the game featured bike handlebars as the controller.[9]
The player controls a paperboy on a bicycle delivering newspapers along a suburban street which is displayed in a cabinet perspective (or oblique projection) view. The player attempts to deliver a week of daily newspapers to subscribing customers, attempts to vandalize non-subscribers' homes and must avoid hazards along the street. Subscribers are lost by missing a delivery or damaging a subscriber's house. If the player loses all of their lives, or runs out of subscribers, the game ends.
Controlling the paperboy with the handlebar controls, the player attempts to deliver newspapers to subscribers. Each day begins by showing an overview of the street indicating subscribers and non-subscribers. Subscribers and non-subscribers' homes are easy to discern in the level itself, with subscribers living in brightly colored houses, and non-subscribers living in dark houses.[9]
The iPhone/iPod Touch version was released through the App Store on December 18, 2009.[81][82] The game was developed by Vivid Games and published by Elite Systems.[66][67] Elite removed the game from the App Store in March 2010, because of a licensing conflict.[71] Glu Mobile developed and published a new iPhone/iPod Touch version, titled Paperboy: Special Delivery, on November 4, 2010.[72][73] The game included a 20-level story mode in which the paperboy is saving money from his job to buy a new game console, but he later falls in love and throws roses instead of newspapers.[71][74] The game also featured an optional tilt-based control mode in which the iPhone is tilted to control the paperboy.[74]
One thing that is for sure is that he brings about an emotion with his artwork, whether it's love, loss, envy or greed he's tapped into feeling or sentiment that we've all experienced at one point or another, and bam, he forms an immediate connection with the viewer. And for all of those wondering, FYI, he was never a paperboy.
The obstacle course stinks. More often than not, I just keep running out of time when I'm about to cross the finish line.
The Bottom Line
If you want to be a paperboy in the near future, then this game will test your skills. If you don't want to be a paperboy but if you like games where the object is to deliver shit, then this game might be your cup of tea. ***
The Good
Maybe it's because I've spent half of my childhood on the street doing a paper round, but there is no other video game character I could identify with more than this Paperboy.
The Bad
From today's perspective, neither the graphics nor the gameplay suit modern standards, but you have to consider that this game is about 30 years old. The high difficulty is the only thing that was always a bummer and ever will be.
The Bottom Line
Other players might know similar games like Paper Wizard (on iOS, not available anymore) or Stickerboy without even knowing that there is a predecessor for this genre. Well, there is. So if you want to get straight to the roots of a paperboy simulation game with a lot of fun, you got to start your journey here.
