Game Review

Paperboy is a popular arcade created by Atari and released originally in 1985.

In this game, you are a paperboy that has to deliver the newspapers with his bicycle. You have to deliver them to the newspaper subscribers only, possibly in the mailbox. Of course, several hazards will make your life more complicated.

The title was ported to mostly all possible home computers and consoles. The first ones were the BBC micro and Acorn Electro versions in 1986. The Commodore 64 port was released in 1987. The NES version was published in 1988, but the best and most faithful conversions are probably the Amiga and Atari ST that Elite released in 1989.
