Play Paperboy (USA, Europe) on gb Online

Paperboy on the Game Boy came out in 1990, developed by Atari Games. It was a portable version of the arcade game, fitting right in with the straightforward, pick-up-and-play titles common on the system at the time.

You control a paperboy on a bicycle, delivering newspapers to subscribers while avoiding obstacles like cars, dogs, and lawnmowers. The main goal is to complete your route with as many successful deliveries as possible, breaking windows or hitting non-subscribers results in penalties. Signature mechanics include aiming and throwing papers at specific targets, navigating hazards that change each day, and managing your limited supply of papers. The game moves quickly and gets difficult fast, with obstacles becoming more unpredictable on later routes. It feels satisfying when you land a perfect throw, but one wrong move can send your bike tumbling.
