5.0 out of 5 stars A good delivery for the Game Boy, November 8, 2000

"Paperboy" was one of the first games that I had for the Game Boy and even after all these years, it's still a lot of fun to play. Your objective is to deliver a newspaper to all the subscribers. If you successfully deliver a newspaper to all your subscribers without missing any, you will get a new subscriber. The game is divided up by all the days of the week. For example, once you get past Monday's level, you'll go on to Tuesday. During each day, you have to throw a newspaper either inside your subsciber's mailbox or on their front doorstep. But it's not as easy as it sounds.

Along the way, you will encounter many obstacles such as a dog that will chase you down, cars, tornadoes, remote-control cars, and many other enemies that will do anything they can to knock you off your bike. However, you do have a defensive move that can protect you against a few of your enemies, and that is to hit them with a newspaper in order to stun them for awhile. Also, while you're trying to get the day's paperwork done, you can rack in some extra points by throwing newspapers at certain items such as your non-subscribers' windows, garbage cans, and trees. Just make sure you don't run out of newspapers. If you do good enough during the level and pass it, you will have the chance to go through a fun bonus level where you hit targets and have to maneuver your bike over ramps and past moving walls.

For the Game Boy, "Paperboy" has good graphics, satisfying sound and music, and easy-to-learn controls.

If you have a regular Game Boy, I definitely recommend getting "Paperboy" for it, it's one of the funnest games you could get and it never gets old.

Paperboy for the Game Boy is the only Paperboy game I've ever played and it's a fun game. You try to deliver newspapers to all your customers and you can do it by either throwing them on their front doorstep or in their mailbox, while you get points for busting the windows out of your non-subscribers' houses. You can also get points by hitting other obstacles such as targets, trash cans, etc. Everytime you deliver a newspaper to all of your customers without missing any in a level, you get a new subscriber. At the end of every level, there's a bonus stage which can be fun, then you go to the next day. However, it's not as easy as it might sound. There are a lot of obstacles such as tornadoes, dogs, and cars to avoid on your way.

I'd recommend getting this game if you like the Paperboy games or if you like non-stop action games.
