Atari pioneered the hi-res hardware back in the day. 👍

Classic. The arcade controller handlebars were so neat. Hard but fair. So many good Atari games in that era.

I'm glad you thought it was fair - I always found this game stupidly difficult!

Tyres rolling around on their own, Grim Reapers, thieves attempting to break into a dwelling in few view of everyone... The 80s really were a crazy time!! 🤣🤣

I keep coming back to this video. There is something strangely calming about it. Being a paperboy might have been a stressful job for the player but I find the gameplay quite relaxing.

Gotta love Atari during the arcade golden era. Rarely saw the obligatory joystick and buttons controls on an Atari arcade machine, usually something unique like the handlebars on Paperboy.

Thanks for this, man; takes me back to being in the arcades when I was a kid. Marble Madness, 720° (I could never get the hang of the controls in 720°) and A.P.B. I had 720° and Paperboy on my humble ZX Spectrum; converted by Elite, if I recall (it was several decades ago!)

Saw the “best ending” where the Paperboy’s won a golden trophy. Reminds me of “Paperboy 2” where if you help the cops by saving runaway baby carriages, stopping criminals (graffiti, breaking and entering guys, robbers with guns and people running from cops) you’re able to get the police folks on your side (one even slips you a candy bar to keep up the good work). If you do great civic duties through ALL THREE routes (Easy Street, Middle Road and Hard Way), the best ending has the paperboy/paper girl given a big trophy by the Mayor, having been nominated by the police as their sponsor (but you “must be on your best behavior” to get this ending).

The sound effect for the breaking windows is the same one they used in the Moonwalker videogame every time you collected something (at least the Master System version). Hearing that sound effect now just reactivated a long lost childhood memory 😂

I remember, when i was a little kid back in the late 1980's, me and my dad played so many great games on our Commodore 64, and PAPERBOY was one of the first games, i have ever played 😺👍🕹️. I still have the original Arcade version of this game for my PlayStation 2 in a compilation called MIDWAY ARCADE TREASURES 😺👍🕹️. I also have the Commodore 64 version on both tape and disk formats 😺👍🕹️. I believe, i still have it also for my Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️. And you - AL82 - threw those papers better 😺👍 than me 😹. Retrospectively excellent work 😺👍🕹️!

Very well played, Al, and I'm a tad relieved that the arcade version doesn't add new Daily Sun subscribers each day. Then again, maybe the programmers thought that the game was difficult enough already. 🙂💡

The view pans left and right as you steer - if you get to the rightmost part of the road, you'll have about 50% of the playing area.
