Paperboy brings the arcade classic to the Sega Master System, challenging you to deliver newspapers on a perilous suburban route. Released for the console in 1990, this isometric action game requires sharp reflexes as you steer your bike past unpredictable obstaclesโfrom rolling tires and chasing dogs to reversing cars. Your goal is simple: keep your subscribers happy by landing papers on their porches or in their mailboxes, while freely tossing extras at the windows of non-subscribers to rack up points.
How to Play
Ride to the end of the street each day, aiming to retain as many subscribers as possible. You lose a subscriber if you miss their house or accidentally break their windows, and you lose a life if you crash into an obstacle.
- Movement: Arrow Keys
- Throw Paper / Brake: Z / X

Tips
- Manage your speed: Constantly moving at top speed makes it much harder to dodge sudden hazards. Keep a steady, moderate pace and only accelerate when you need to avoid a fast-moving threat.
- Refill your papers: Keep an eye out for the bundles of newspapers scattered along the sidewalk. You will quickly run out of ammo if you miss them.
- Target non-subscribers: Breaking the windows of non-subscribers earns you extra points without any penalty to your subscription count.
