Play Paperboy (E) Online

Paperboy for the Nintendo 64 came out in 1999, developed by Midway Games. It was a 3D update of the classic arcade game, arriving late in the N64's life when many players were already looking ahead to newer systems. The game kept the core idea intact but gave it a polygonal overhaul, fitting right in with the era's shift toward more dimensional gameplay.

You control a paperboy on a bicycle, delivering newspapers to subscribers while avoiding obstacles and causing mischief. The main goal is to complete your route each day, hitting as many target houses as possible without crashing or running out of papers. Signature mechanics include aiming and timing your throws to land papers on porches (or break windows if you prefer), and navigating through unpredictable hazards like cars, dogs, and pedestrians. The game moves at a steady pace, but the difficulty ramps up quickly as obstacles become more frequent and your bike becomes harder to control. It feels frantic and a little unwieldy, but satisfying when you thread the needle between disaster and a perfect delivery.
