Advantages: Fun to play

Disadvantages: Short not a game you will play for long

The original Paperboy game was originally a coin operated game before being made for the Amiga by Atari games, and has since been made for several other computer systems.

Game play

You play as a paperboy and have to deliver papers on your bike along streets, whilst avoiding objects in your path and cars. The game lasts for seven days one paper for each day, Monday to Sunday. You have to deliver papers to subscribers house and you lose subscribers by failing to deliver the papers or damaging their houses and you gain them by delivering papers perfectly, you get bonus points for getting them through the letterbox or post box and lose points for breaking windows etc.

You control the speed and the direction your paperboy goes in and you can not stop at any point, as the days go on the objects in your path get harder to avoid, you can earn bonus points by hitting certain obstacles with newspapers and vandalising non subscribers houses, you also can pick up extra newspapers along the way

At the end of each day there is a mini time trial where you have to complete a set course as quickly as you can to earn bonus points.

The game ends either at the end of the week or when you have lost your life's, each crash loses a life although crashing in the speed trial's does not lose you a life.


Controls/Graphics

The graphics are very basics and the controls are only a few so easy to use.

Difficulty

The game is very simple to play all the way it aims more for a bit of fun than a good game


Value for Money

The game is fun to play although not really worth paying anything for as will not keep you entertained for very long and it does not take that long to complete.

Summary: Good to kill a bit of boredom
