Play Paperboy online

Paperboy is a 1988 arcade classic that transforms the seemingly ordinary profession of newspaper delivery into a hazardous athletic event. Players ride a bicycle through suburban streets while throwing newspapers with impressive accuracy, avoiding obstacles, and somehow surviving neighborhoods that appear actively hostile to journalism. Dogs chase relentlessly, careless drivers create unexpected hazards, and pedestrians seem determined to occupy exactly the wrong place at exactly the wrong time. The unusual premise gives the game enormous charm, while the demanding gameplay keeps every delivery exciting. Paperboy proves that everyday jobs can become extraordinary entertainment with enough imagination. After a few minutes, successfully delivering tomorrow's headlines without crashing into a hedge feels every bit as heroic as saving an entire galaxy.
