The A - Z of Spectrum Games

Paperboy

Get ready for the 'official' home computer version of the Arcade blockbuster, Paperboy. Pick up your old push-bike, put on your peaked cap and imagine yourself braving the streets of an American suburb. Only superb riding skills and a steady throwing arm can get you through your seven day week of hilarious action.

On your travels, avoid cars, fighting neighbours and fiendish Hells Angels, all out to obstruct you in your pursuit of excellence. You score points by delivering to all your usual customers, but you can get sneaky bonus points by breaking the windows of no-subscribers. It is a difficult task, but your employer believes that 'practice makes perfect'. and generously provides a Paperboy practice BMX track where you can score valuable extra points. Whether you choose 'Easy street' or go the 'Hard Way', get ready for the ride of your life.
