Product Description

Product Description

Back in the early '80s, Midway rolled out the destined-to-be-a-classic arcade game Paper Boy, in which bike-riding players delivered newspapers to subscribers while avoiding numerous pitfalls and obstacles. Ports to home gaming systems through the years kept the kid's career active, and now Paper Boy is promoted to the Nintendo 64 platform in a familiar, yet entirely unique, 3-D action adventure.

As in the original version, Paper Boy must deliver the daily news to subscribers' homes, landing each toss perfectly to avoid canceled subscriptions. To add to the kid's stress, his or her paper route traverses more than two dozen hazard-laden neighborhoods, from the classic suburban sprawl to arid desert communities to deep forest dwellings. Along the way, the player rides into a mess of dangers: in addition to crazed animals and inattentive drivers, the end of the century brings such prophetic hazards as spewing volcanoes and invading aliens.

No longer stuck on a straight path, players explore the 3-D world with full freedom of movement. In addition, Paper Boy now performs all sorts of tricks--bunny hops, flips, spins--that help him or her along the way. Keep on rollin', old buddy. --Eric Twelker

1.0 out of 5 stars poor graphics, poor game play, December 1, 1999

This review is from: Paperboy (Game Cartridge)

This is one of the worst N64 titles I have seen. The Paperboy looks like a fat stick figure. You cannot control the bicycle well at all. You are restricted to viewing only one side of a poorly drawn street at a time, which is frustrating. Hitting the targets is only involves a little timing, not real skill. In ten minutes I was bored.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste Of Money, December 31, 1999

This review is from: Paperboy (Game Cartridge)

This game is an extremely sad game. One reason is that you only have one option in the game: Deliver Papers. They should have more options like multi-player(even though the graphics stink), create your player(stats,paper, etc), and many other interesting things. The levels are also boring with the same obstacles over and over. If you like paperboy on gmboy, or snes, stick to them. N64 version is much more worse

If you loved original Nintendo games, and get a little nostalgic when you see blocky graphics, then you'll love this game. If you're looking for some new realistic game, then don't search the arcade section! (duh)
