Buy only if you like Rampage, because Paperboy doesn't work.

First, there's no way to gracefully switch between the two games. You have to turn the system off and back on if you're playing Rampage then want to switch to Paperboy. And there's something like 45 seconds of "credits" that roll by before the games start that you can't skip. (But then, you don't really want to move from Rampage to Paperboy. See "third," below.)

Second, Rampage is faithful enough to the original, but it gets pretty boring pretty quickly.

Third, Paperboy simply doesn't work. Even in the documentation itself, the L/R buttons are supposed to control BOTH the kid's movement on the bike AND his throwing the newspapers. This doesn't work; you end up pressing "left" a lot and running into things instead of launching newspapers.

Unless you're a huge fan of Rampage, don't bother with this.

This was the first game I purchased for my GBA SP. I was pleased with Rampage. Just like the Nintendo version. Paperboy, they made it almost impossible to control the paperboy. The d-pad for driving and a/b for throwing the papers was the best way this game was played. Having to press A to accelerate and B to slow down and the L and R buttons at the top corners to throw papers while steering with the d-pad makes you tire of the game very quickly.

A re-release of this game with the old-style controls would be great cause the current reincarnation of the game makes it impossible to get through the first day let alone complete.

this game is one of a old game that was in the 80 i guess. I love it thanks that i fine it on amazon it a blessing. this web site is very very good.

This game sucks more than superman 64! First I will tell you about rampage. Rampage is so stupid beacause when a tank comes to attack you you can jump over it but that is not stupid part. The stupid part is when you jump over the tank it does not come back to attack you and it is to easy and does not save where your at or your score! Now thats stupid! I saved the most horrible game for last Paperboy! Paperboy is to hard when it is on easy! It is imposeible to beat level 1 on easy beacause you keep running into stuff like cars with your freacking bike! This game is ******* trash! I am so disapointed in this game. Do not buy this game they could have made this game better.:( PS I guess rampage is ok.
