NES Game: Paperboy

Morning streets in suburban America set the route for a kid with a stack of newspapers and a big plan. Paperboy follows his ride through a neighborhood where landing a paper at each subscriber's door helps build a regular customer list. The job sounds modest. The street says otherwise. Parked traffic cuts across the lane, maintenance holes break up the pavement, and a bad throw can smash a resident's window.

How to play?

Pedal down the block and line up each toss at the doorstep. A newspaper supply limits how many houses get the morning edition, leaving some subscribers without delivery if throws run short. Steer around cars and street hazards to stay on the route. Broken windows cost points. Rack up the highest score possible before the level ends.
