Paperboy (Nintendo Game Boy Color, 1999)

Product Specs

Description

Fourteen years after it became an arcade hit, Paperboy makes its way to Game Boy Color, minus the handlebars and shrunk down several size factors. In Paperboy, you control a bicycle-riding paperboy whose weapon of choice is a rolled up newspaper. Your turf is a street filled with dangerous obstacles like fire hydrants, cats, cars and kids on tricycles. Your job is to avoid these nuisances and deliver newspapers to all subscribers while breaking the windows of non-subscribers. Points are earned for each paper delivered (accuracy counts), damaging non-subscribers' houses and hitting bystanders. There is also a bonus training course at the end of each street which can earn you extra points. Each level consists of one day on your route. At the end of each day, some houses will cancel their subscriptions and others will subscribe depending on your performance. Paperboy contains three levels of difficulty: Easy Street, Middle Road and Hard Way.
