Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original. Original inserts or paperwork shown in the photos are included; display stands and other photography props are not. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

The neighborhood got a lot weirder after the first Paperboy. In this Tengen sequel your route runs past runaway baby strollers, burglars, a graffiti vandal, a sewer monster and even a zombie, while cars and trucks crowd the street so thickly that holding a straight line feels like an achievement. The goal is as simple as ever: land the paper in the box or on the welcome mat of every subscriber, because a missed house cancels its subscription.

The biggest change is that subscribers now live on both sides of the street. One button throws left, another throws right, and a third lets you jump, which turns the original's one-sided rhythm into something much busier. You can ride as the Paperboy or, for the first time, the Papergirl, and pick from Easy Street, Medium Road and Hard Way. Each game covers three weeks of seven days, and finishing a week earns a promotion to a route with fancier houses, adding a carnival, a park, a car dealer and a mall to the scenery. Good deeds such as rescuing the stroller or catching a burglar earn bonus points, as does the old favorite of smashing non-subscribers' windows and flower pots. Every day ends with a training course where a crash costs nothing, and a perfect delivery wins back a lost subscriber or earns an extra life.

Reviews were mixed, and the honest verdict is that it is tougher and more cluttered than the arcade original. That is also its appeal: this is the version where the joke got bigger, with more sight gags per block and more chaos to steer through. Next to the first Paperboy, it shows how Tengen stretched a one-street arcade idea into a full home paper route, and it is a fun, slightly unhinged ride on original Genesis hardware.
