haha paperboy was a good game, but it was also the result of be throwing my sinclair spectrum against the wall as a young boy. incredibly frustrating, as a lot of games were back then.

oh wait i thought i knew, but apparently not. if you deliver to all your customers in one day the next day you get a new customer. beyond that tho i have no idea. because i think you start out with like i'll just guess 20 or so houses and half are customers and half aren't, so... i don't think it was a matter of attention span that was the issue but i just didn't have the patience to make it further than a week. and if i had, it was like once or twice and it must not have been worth remembering and that's probably why i put it down and stopped playing it all together anymore after that.

i think i once or twice cleared a week on that game. I played it only once or twice though. One of my bestest mates dropped by one evening when i was sick and brought the game for the NES, and we popped it in and played the shit out of it.

NES Memories
Chicken Pox = Rad Racer Flu = Marble Madness Broken Arm = RC Pro Am Pet Bird Died = Goonies Parents Got Divorced = Double Dribble
Paperboy brings memories of riding my bike through a blurry morning neighborhood that resembles ET town. Also, a pizza joint that had one of the original arcade games. It had handle bars sticking out of it.

Yeah the arcade machine with an actual pair of bmx bars grafted on was a wicked novelty, even if it was a bastard to control well.

Hmm, a depressing event for each... and then me and my life who plays videogames 94% of waking hours. Makes sense.

I just got a PERFECT (monday-sunday never missing one single house):
(in this picture one of those red houses is blinking red/white/red/white (indicating the new subscriber) but unfortunately took the picture on the red cycle). Pretty easy.

w M w's paperboy PRO TIPS:
* press up to go at full speed 100% of the time * first do a test run trying to only hit windows to adjust to the paper throwing angle and improve accuracy
* you have 10 papers so only use the first 5 to hit trash can's/ red house windows/ etc for extra points, to make sure you have enough for the white houses
* there is one house drawn at a fucked up angle that only appears sometime after monday. Always throw two papers right in a row at it because one often misses.
* when you have a lot of papers, like 9/10, there are a couple spots where there are 3 extra point things to hit right in a row (2 graveyards and a window) + (3 red house windows)
* you can't break windows of white houses (unsubscribe) but you can knock over their trash cans and trees.
* SUPER BONUS TRICK: there are weird stone thingies that make a plinky sound when you hit them. Right when you hit one, pause the game (on original nes at least) and a (bing, bing, bing) looped sound occurs. Unpause and pause really fast and it will be in a different pitch. AMAZING! Also right when you break a window the sound prevents the game from being able to pause at all.

Do you play with the original NES gamepads or a modern gamepad connected to an adapter?
