Product reviewsPaperboy (Sega Genesis, 1991)

drain grates and mailboxes

The premise of Paperboy was to deliver papers to customer's homes. As Paperboy, you were assigned to deliver The Daily Sun newspapers to colored houses that were your customers. Non-subscribers to the Daily Sun had houses that were black. The customers had houses that had signs like “Welcome,� but the non-customers wanted no part of what you were selling, and their houses were covered in signs that said, “Beat it� and “Get Lost,� as well as tombstones that said “RIP PB.�

I remember playing Paperboy in the arcades. You had to deliver newspapers to subscribers, but you also had to be careful not to damage the customer's house. Doing so could cost you a subscriber. If you made a perfect delivery, you would earn new subscribers and re-subscribers. However, you could damage a house of a non-subscriber for bonus points, since they didn't affect your subscriber base. There were obstacles to avoid, like cars, drain grates, mailboxes, break dancers, bushes, bombs, cats, dogs, drunkards, fighters and bees. The goal was to make it through the week until Sunday. At the end of each course, there was a bonus level also known as the training course. On Sunday, the stacks of papers become heavier, because Sunday papers are the biggest things among paper subscribers. There were three levels to choose from as you started the game. The difficulty was also adjustable when you select the options menu. Gameplay was presented in an isometric perspective, which is something else that takes a bit getting used to.Read full review...

DREAM COME TRUE!!

Since I was a kid I have always wanted to own and play the game paperboy. I was lucky to know people who have had systems and owned the game to allow me to play it, but I for one have never had a sega or owned the game. Well my dreams came true the other day. I bought a sega genesis through ebay and then later found paperboy and immediately bought it. This game brings back so many memories, and I just love that. I thank you for bringing the child out of me again and allowing me to remember those fun times with friends when I was a child (or am I still a child)! Thanks again and I look forward to many days and hours of paperboy and showing my very own children what it was like for me growing up and allowing them to play one of my past time games. Thank you this truly is a dream come true!Read full review...

Genesis Paperboy arcade

The Genesis port of the classic arcade Paperboy is about as close as you can get to the arcade experience for its time. The graphics, gameplay, music, sound, and digitized voice are very close to the arcade original. Read full review...
