Remember those childhood days when you got up at five in the morning to brave the pre-dawn streets of your hometown in order to deliver the morning paper? Rise and shine, those days are back! Only this time you can do it all in the comfort of your living room, any time you want. You loved the coin-op but could never find Paperboy for your Sega Genesis, right?
Well, now you can, and the designers at Tengen have done an outstanding job of recreating the feel of the arcade version. You start out with a map of your route and a full bag of papers -- remember to save them all for your customers -- a wasted paper can mean a lost subscription later on in your route.
You get three levels of difficulty. Each level divided into seven days of paper delivery which get progressively harder. The object is to toss the newspapers where your customers can get them. You can swerve onto the street or dash across a freshly-mowed lawn in order to get the job done. There are rich rewards in store for you if you can hit the porch or the mailbox with your shots -but that takes timing and a steady aim.
One false move and you'll put a paper through a window -- a sure fire way to lose a subscriber. It isn't the end of the world if you lose a paper or two along the way; your manager leaves stacks in key positions -- he expects that you'll have a little trouble.
We all know that mailmen battle rain, snow, sleet, and hail, but it's a sure bet they've never had to face the menaces which line the streets of your paper route!
You just happen to work the toughest street in the area. Whether you select Easy Street or the Hard Road, you're up against an army of nasty obstacles that realty makes it tough for you to get your papers out on time, or alive for that matter. The safest place on the street is in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Very little can get you up there, especially if you are constantly steering right.
From the first house you've got to avoid the punkers on unicycles -- they don't move for anybody. Don't swerve too far to avoid them though, you might run into a delinquent child on a Big Wheel -- a real terror from below. And the dogs of the neighborhood are not your best friends. They lie in wait for you on your route and pounce as soon as you're. You'll also run across assorted road-way hazards -- some strange and some rather normal. Runaway lawnmowers cut you down when you wander onto a "friendly" lawn, or you might swerve off the sidewalk straight into a drainage ditch.
You've got to play heads up! You've made it through another frantic day on the street, now it's time to show us what you've really got! A hotshot obstacle course awaits you at the end of your route. Use your extra papers to rack up bonus points by knocking down targets. Jump rivers and swerve around the course to arrive at the grandstand filled with your cheering, faithful fans. Who ever said paperboys get no respect?
The rewards are short-lived however, the news waits for no one. Now, another day awaits you, only this time the street is even more menacing. Also, you've got cancelled subscriptions to deal with -- make sure you keep your customers happy, without them you're nothing.
But, hey, who ever said a paperboy's job was easy? Be sure to pick up extra papers before you finish your route. Even though you may not have any more customers, it's nice to have a full basket when the bonus round comes along.

There's no timer, so you can deliver your bundle of newsprint as slowly or as quickly as you want. But even Easy Street, the game's first level, is a literal mine field of wandering drunks, giant cats, bratty kids, skateboarders, and moving vehicles.

Obstacles spring in front of you, or jump at you from your left, which is where you have to throw your papers. At the end of each day, you're awarded points for each successful delivery -- double points if you delivered I your papers to EVERY customer.
