Paperboy for the Sega Genesis is a classic action game released in 1992 that brings the beloved 1984 arcade hit to the 16-bit console. Players take on the role of a neighborhood newspaper deliverer, attempting to survive a chaotic suburban route filled with bizarre hazards while keeping subscribers happy.
How to Play
Your objective is to successfully deliver newspapers to all subscribing houses over a seven-day week. Throw papers into mailboxes or onto doormats for points, while avoiding dogs, runaway lawnmowers, remote-control cars, and even the grim reaper. For this Sega Genesis version played in the browser, steer your bicycle using the Arrow Keys, and press Z or X to toss newspapers. Use Enter to start the game.
Tips
- Control your speed: Pushing up or down on the directional pad adjusts your speed. Moving too slowly makes you an easy target for fast-moving hazards from behind.
- Target non-subscribers: While you must deliver papers to light-colored subscribing houses, you can earn bonus points by throwing papers through the windows of dark-colored non-subscriber houses.
- Stock up on ammo: Keep an eye out for bundles of newspapers scattered on the street to reload your supply before you run out completely.
