Play Paperboy (Japan) on sega Online

Paperboy on the Sega Genesis is basically the same chaotic paper-tossing madness as the arcade original, just with slightly chunkier graphics. You ride your bike down suburban streets, trying to nail newspaper deliveries while dodging runaway shopping carts, angry dogs, and those weird breakdancers who just won’t get out of the way.

The controls feel a little stiff at first—you’ll probably overshoot a few porches or accidentally bean some poor guy reading his mail. But once you get the timing down, there’s something weirdly satisfying about nailing a perfect throw through a window or watching your paper smack a mailbox dead-center. Just don’t expect the homeowners to appreciate your skills—they’ll still call the cops if you hit their flowerpots.

It’s one of those games where you’ll fail spectacularly in the first five minutes, then suddenly realize you’ve been playing for an hour trying to beat your high score. The Genesis version doesn’t add much new, but it’s a solid port of a weirdly addictive classic.
