If you're too young to remember it, chances are you won't get quite as much out of it, but it's still a fairly entertaining game. Paperboy was an '80s arcade classic, and it's still good for some nostalgic excitement, provided you have fond memories of the original game. A co-op mode where one player rides the bike while the other tosses papers might have been a bit more interesting. When one player loses, the game ends for both players, and scores are compared for versus games or combined for co-op. You don't even see the other player's screen, just his or her score. You and another player play Paperboy at the same time. The online support is standard for these sorts of rereleases.
The achievements are nicely varied and give you a few different things to shoot for when you play. The additions made to Paperboy on Xbox Live Arcade are the standard leaderboards, achievements, and online support.
#BOTTOM OF PAPERBOY ARCADE GAME UPDATE#
If we were to make a modern update of Paperboy, it would star a single mother who goes around her neighborhood at 4 a.m., drinking coffee and tossing papers out the window of her 1996 Buick LeSabre. The press releases for this game say that it will have "modernized" audio and "new artwork," but that's totally deceptive. But the game was always pretty lively looking, and the graphics do still have a good amount of personality. The game has also aged quite a bit, and much like with the audio, there are no graphical updates. But it would have been nice to hear the game with some new sound effects and music, which many other Xbox Live Arcade classic releases have received. The track with those loops is faithfully duplicated here, and it's still great. Seriously, you could probably write a thousand rap songs over some of the funky loops found in Paperboy. It also makes the best use of a synthesized cowbell ever, video game or otherwise.
The only thing you really need to know about Paperboy is that it contains the greatest bassline ever put into a video game. This control scheme works just fine but loses a little something in the translation. Here, you're limited to the analog stick and the A button. The original arcade game was played with a nice handlebar controller that made the game stand out.

Along the way, you'll want to toss newspapers through the windows or at the garbage cans of your nonsubscribers, teaching them a costly lesson in the business of news. You, as the bike-riding paper-delivery technician, need to navigate the rough-and-tumble streets as you attempt to throw newspapers into the mailboxes or onto the porches of your subscribers. OK, maybe things aren't as rough on the suburban streets as they seem in Paperboy. Some people think the C64 version of Paperboy had better music. The game was called Paperboy, and now there's an emulated version of the arcade classic game available on Xbox Live Arcade.
#BOTTOM OF PAPERBOY ARCADE GAME SIMULATOR#
Back in 1984, Atari Games released a suburban simulator that's never been matched in terms of its gritty realism. Are you going to get hit by a car? Run into a shambling bum? Get attacked by an angry cat? Will you inadvertently end up in the middle of a brawl between two thugs? Anything can happen. Every day may be your last, and the worst part is, you don't know what could happen to you.
