Paperboy

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Paperboy series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Atari/Tengen
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Action
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Race your bike down the street, chucking newspapers at
                  peoples' porches.  Hit a burglar and make the news
                  next day, hit a window and lose a subscriber.  This is
                  only a small taste of what the game is like.  (Rage
                  Games)

IMPRESSIONS:      This is one of the all-time gaming classics, both well
                  thought out and well executed.  It's worth at least the
                  look, although the isometric perspective does take some
                  adjustment.  That may account for the mixed review that
                  Rage Games gave, noting that "gameplay isn't the best."

VARIATIONS:       Paperboy (1991, the original, plays slow as molasses on
                    a New England winter's day)
                  Paperboy 2 (1992, the sequel, plays a lot faster and has
                    loads more eye candy and hazards - you can also pick
                    between paperboy or papergirl, which female gamers will
                    welcome - this is the one to get)
