Paperboy (SMS) Reviews and User Stories

This is a game I didn't grow up with, which means I have no good story to share. I think I had a version of it on my Commodore 64 though, but I probably didn't play it much since I can't remember playing it very much. Since I've just played this SMS-version of it in RetroCopy, I can write a review of it though...

It's not a bad game, and considering that the original arcade version of it was made in 1984, it's actually quite impressive. Although, for a game released in 1990 it's not as impressive. But it's certainly not a stinker... It's a little repetitive though. It's the same thing you do over and over again (delivering newspapers), and it's quite obvious that this was originally an arcade game. The whole point is to get as many points as possible and get on the high score list, while in the typical console game, it's more important to finish/beat the game, than to collect points. So it would be good if there had been a little more variation in the game. Perhaps Paperboy could have gotten off his bike once in a while and taken his route by foot... Certainly would have made it a lot easier :) Anyway, not a bad game, but certainly not a SMS classic.
