Live from the GAYsement! - My Paper Boy video!

I just went and busted out Paperboy on Gameboy thanks to this video. I total agree with your point about buying games that can't be played perfectly elsewhere. That's why I made Tapper my first game. You can play Root Beer Tapper lots of ways, but the only way to play Budweiser Tapper is to own the real thing. Sure you can emulate it on MAME but even then you don't have the cool little tap handles. Same deal with Paperboy. The only way to truely play it as it was intended is to own the real thing...

Root Beer Tapper in the arcade had a tap too! :) It was almost the same cabinet, just missing the brass details.

Paperboy was the first game I ever played that cost 20p!! Here in the UK back in the day, games were 10p a go. I only ever used to get to go to the arcade when we'd go on trips to the beach. Imagine the look of horror on an 8 year old's face as he puts his last 10p coin in and realises he only has half a credit...
