Summary

The Paperboy series dates as far back as 1985. Because of the game’s huge success, there are still paperboy titles in development even today. Why? Because the game is one of a kind, it’s that simple.

In nutshell, you are a paperboy trying to earn some honest cash. It’s your job to deliver the news to the people. If you fail to do so, customers will cancel their subscriptions and you will be out of a job, forced to do household chores instead. To get your skills up to scratch, you have the option of a training mode that allows you to practice your throwing skills. Once you feel confident enough to perform well in your brand new job, you can get on your bike and take to the streets. Under normal circumstances you would probably lose your job for throwing a newspaper through the window, but not here. Windowed newspapers actually offer bonuses. This naughty feature applies entirely to the fun of the game, and not the realism.

Paperboy is a classic game through and through, and in handheld format, what more could you want?
