Play Paperboy Online

Paperboy on the Game Boy Color came out in 1999, developed by Tantalus Interactive. It was one of those late-era releases for the handheld, a portable version of the arcade game that felt right at home on the small screen. You didn't need a complicated story; the premise was simple and fit the quick play sessions the Game Boy was known for.

You control a kid on a bicycle, delivering newspapers along a suburban street. The main goal is to get papers to your subscribers while avoiding obstacles and troublemakers. Your main actions are steering to dodge hazards like runaway lawnmowers and mischievous dogs, and aiming your throws to hit mailboxes or break windows. The game progresses screen by screen, with each day presenting a new, slightly more difficult route. It's a challenging game where a single mistake can end your run, demanding quick reflexes and precise timing. The experience is a tense, focused scramble from start to finish.
