Shall we?

Where are all the Paperboy players at? IMHO, one of the greatest games ever created, and definitely one I spent A LOT of time with on the NES back in the day. Music = win, speech = win, graphics = win, controls = win. One of the most underrated games of all time.

Anywho, just set a new high score for Easy Street tonight on mine:

Who else loves this game? Where are your high scores at?
 
uhh, i've made it through the whole week on the nes. gets easier with less customers...

i digress. the nearest UR paperboy is around 45 minutes away from me...
 
what happened to the last paperboy thread?? wasnt it filled with strategies and shit?


I wanna play this game on a cabinet bad.
 
I can't play. It is a little too cold out in the garage. I still have to track down a bad rom on the Paperboy too. It is always something.

Once I get a chance to play it again, I will definitely have to check other threads for tips. I don't think I have ever made it through a whole week.
 
Nice score Jow. I play on Hard Way since in the tournaments you can choose any path and that yields the most points. I'm at around 200k.
 
Great score! Damn, that game ate a ton of my quarters at 7-Eleven. Enjoyed that game very much. Have not played it in ages. Also like APB and Indiana Jones from those Atari games from the mid '80s.
 
Paperboy is a great game! I used to play the NES version a lot too as well as Paperboy 2 on the Super Nintendo. I never realized it was an arcade game first until I saw a machine at Showbiz Pizza back in the day.

Geez, tough crowd.

I was pumped on finally breaking the 120K barrier (I'd been stuck there for a couple years) and didn't think of searching the other thread out. Sorry dudes. No one likes to participate in old threads anyway ;)

I need to see if I can find Richie's thread that was recently posted. He talked about someone breaking the Easy St WR of 135K. I'm getting closer, and thinking about starting to put some games on tape just in case. I don't know what the official record is now though since TG hasn't updated the site.

Steve - do you happen to know what it is?
 
Great game. I love mine. That's an amazing score you got there too.

I'm still trying to figure out the bug at the end of the obsticle course that allows you to keep going beyond the finish line.

Would love to read some tips on playing. I'll have to look it up in the archives.

Sorry I can't share your enthusiasm Jow, my machine is restored and I don't wanna tarnish my fresh nickel plated handlebars with fingerprints and burning up my perfect tube isn't an option either.
