Paperboy reviews
Zero Magazine Issue 1 (1990): "The graphics on the PC version are nice enough, a bit blocky on CGA, but very nice on EGA, more like the actual arcade machine. The sound is thankfully absent, I don't think I could take the thing beeping all the way through the game, with most of the sound reserved for the tune at the start and sound effects."Compute! Gazette Issue 58 (1988): "Paperboy always struck me as a phenomenon. Here is a game of skill, rather than violence, in which earnestness counts for more than weaponry. Al- though there are some semi -violent en- counters in the coin-operated version, the game's main thrust is always that of service: Players must deliver the newspaper to their customers. Amazingly, this simple idea stnick a responsive chord in arcades. The Paperboy game is nearly always crowded, its till fed by a constant stream of quarters."
