Paperboy (Europe) for the Nintendo 64, released in 2000, brings the frantic arcade action classic into a fully 3D world. Choose between a paperboy or papergirl and take to the streets to deliver the Daily Sun to your loyal subscribers while causing as much property damage as possible to non-subscribers. The jump to 3D introduces free-roaming neighborhoods, boss encounters, and chaotic new obstacles ranging from runaway lawnmowers to giant tornadoes.
How to Play
Your objective is to successfully deliver newspapers to the mailboxes or front doors of all subscribing houses before reaching the end of the route. You start with a limited number of papers, so keep an eye out for refill bundles scattered along the road. The default browser controls map the Nintendo 64 joystick to the Arrow Keys for steering. Use X and C to throw papers to the left or right, press Z to brake, and hit Enter to pause the game.
Tips
- Target practice: Throwing papers at the windows, cars, and garden gnomes of non-subscribing houses earns you bonus points, but be careful not to accidentally vandalise a subscriber’s house.
- Manage your speed: You need momentum to clear certain ramps and avoid fast-moving hazards, but braking is essential when lining up a tricky throw.
- Explore off-road: Don’t just stick to the pavement; driving through backyards and alleys can uncover secret paths and extra points.
