Here's a quick review of Paper Boy which was an arcade game put out by Atari in 1984. Original dedicated cabinet, not MAME.

![Paperboy Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]](/img/n.gif)
Nice demo of the game. I was waiting for Wednesday with the BEES and the drunk guy! That's when it starts to get a bit more thrilling :) I completed Easy Street in the arcade.
Never knew what the arcade cabinet looked like. I 1st played Paperboy on the Gameboy. Great video 👍
I am from Kyoto born in 1978... So, I was really 👍 one of "Nintendo" dude ... I went to college in LA after that... However, now I am 45, and really understand what it is. Paperboy is super cool !!!!
Actually, the game can also end in this way: if all of your customers cancel their subscription, the game ends with the paperboy getting fired.
Quick fact: This can't happen on the Easy Street.
Love me some Paper Boy! Remember playing this in the arcade in Chattanooga when I was a kid. One of my all time favorites.
This was cool, thanks for making this. It's nice to see what the physical machines and controller looked like.
Bonus points for hitting the break dancer! This game screams the 1980's. Thanks for this.
I played paperboy too when I was a kid, I'm 31 now.. The game just 2 years old when I played it :-) ahhh, the memory's
I too played in ‘86 as kid. Will never forget. Miss the ole arcade days.
this concept was totally original
the controls
the story
even a secret trick
this had a crowd around lake tahoe
I loved this game when it came out. 720 too. I drank gallons of rootbeer hanging out at the pizza shop playing these games.
I'm only 15 but when I was much younger I was in Cub Scouts, and the building had this machine. My dad was the pack leader and was there every weekend so despite not being an 80's kid I grew up with this game :) When we couldn't pay rent on the building and were gonna lose it and the machine was for sale really cheep... then there was a flood and it died .__. I still would love to have this.
Your gameroom is totally awesome, blkdog7! You must be rich getting these!!
I this was the highlight of my holidays
I used to play this all the time at Lamppost Pizza in Modesto in 1985/1986... great memories
I note Paperboy for the fact that it was one of the first ever arcade games to use "raw" sounding Yamaha FM synthesizers, released in late 1984.
Can't believe this game 37 years old 😁
I played both, the ZX Spectrum version was actually decent when compared to the arcade original.
No conversions could match playing it with those handlebar controls though.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. PAPERBOY ROCKS! :D Good luck with your channel!
i never see anyone perform the 1 million extra life glitch on these orig cabs, is it even known. when finishing the stunt course, any day. keep far right, and there is a gap inbetween main area and white picket fence, theres a tiny patch of grass. if you can get your bike in there the game freaks out and you get 1 million. dunno if it was an easter egg or the game freaks out as bike goes out of map.
Hi. Thank you for commenting on the glitch. You can see the glitch at this link.: ua-cam.com/video/g7Im6GUYjVM/v-deo.html
My friend and I, 30 years later, still say to each other, "now you have a friend in the paper business."
I loved playing Paperboy. I sucked at it, but loved playing it, even at 50 cents a go. I still have days when I get the music stuck in my head.
A h h h h! The good old days when John used to make videos and wanted people to subscribe to his channel and we all did and we supported him and all of a sudden two years goes by and he disappears out of thin air and let us all down. Would have been nice if you would have came out and made a public service announcement to all subscribers on what was going on in your life. It would have been the right thing to do .
When i was a kid, i never really understood this game. I never took the time to learn, I guess. Now, after watching this at 44 years old, i finally "get it"
Ha! It's a GREAT game. I love it. I totally loved it as a kid too.
@scir91 I agree! I am going to work on improving the 'shaky cam syndrome' on my videos in the future. Stay tuned!...
There was a glitch on certain paperboy models - (this didn't work on all paperboy games I came across)before the finish line of the training course bear ALL the way to the right and you will continue to another training course continue the training course as normal & you will receive serious amount of points - this will give you a lot of bonus lives making it easier to complete the week
Also be careful because after doing this glitch weird things happen during the regular game play - for instance - some subscriber houses will actually look the color of the non-subscribers house - so at the end of the day you could lose that subscriber - I hope this works on your your arcade !
Thanks for helping me re-live my youth - your arcade room looks awesome !
Didn't read the previous comments - but someone stated that between finish line & the picket fence - THEY ARE 100% CORRECT!!!! - that's what i meant when I said bear to your right !!!!!
Love your basement! Love paperboy!
I've played paper boy and I think its hard.
That camp ground is probably yogi bear campground. I have been there and to one in Wisconsin that had die hard the arcade game
I hear magic drop in the background. One my favorite puzzle games.
I've seen a person once get to Sunday. That day is hard as the paper is of course bigger on Sunday and thus they fly slower.
Although it was developed in 1984, I don't think Paper Boy was released until April of 1985.
I remember the take out Chinese restaurant in my town had this game during the spring of '85 and I played it all the time. Great game and graphics for the time period.
gauntlet . I used to ask for extra lunch money and sometimes not eat and would be starving to game out a lil more . I think i had my mom giving me like 3.50 when lunch was a dollar so i could game out .
This game plays really well on a 4 way joystick ... I use a Atari Replica to play this ,... works a treat
I wonder if you still have and it in working order 12 years later? You mention MAME yes, I was thinking about possibly making a control for it, since analog controls of any sort don't work great on it. I can actually play it with a track ball. The problem is the Paperboy yoke springs back, something the track ball doesn't do, the ball also very free to move in any direction. For the Paperboy yoke you want to restrict Y motion for the acceleration and brake and then make a rotation for the X turning control.
I used to wear this game out at showbiz pizza back in the day! :D
i just think about the 80's and Ice Cream sandwiches while playing this shyt
I have an ORIGINAL 1984 Paperboy Machine just like the one you featured on your video. It has no damage and plays awesome. I have owned it for years and it has been stored indoors. I HATE to sell it but I am in a financial crunch. I have done alot of research and of course I know how rare this game is to have in perfect condition. If you or if you know anyone that may be interested in my Paperboy arcade machine, please feel free to make me a "resonable offer" - - - Johnny
Lol, I used to play this at the local roller rink, so as to avoid having to skate. It actually does translate pretty well to MAME. I could never make it through day 1 at Super Skates, but in MAME I can beat Easy St. I don't think Hard Way is beatable. The bees are on your ass right out of the gate, so you have to go full speed.
Jesus, that's scary about your sister!
Keep them coming!
no gameroom is complete without a mr dos castle
I wonder if I could have this game in my basement.
This was my favorite game as a kid. I still suck at it. I can sometimes finish Easy Street, but I've never finished Middle Road or Hard Way.
I haven't seen a Paperboy cabinet in at least 15 years. I have it in one opf the Atari Collections for the PSX, and I've played it on MAME. You're right, the game just isn't the same without the handlebars.
I could swear the game does end if you lose all your customers though.
I played this one a lot at our local pizza parlor in 1988 and 1989. They used to have about 7 or 8 classic video games in there until the mid 1990's when they cleared them all out :( Always liked this game but was never any good at it.
There's an early 80s arcade game that has a man yelling to you "Help me" not sure if it was a parachutist I can't recall the name
THAT'S your BASEMENT??! I'm jealous. For real.
(The review starts at 2:00, by the way.)
Bicycle handlebar USB joystick - Thats some funny shit
@blkdog7 I wish I had Gotten the message at the time you posted it. I bid on two monitors on ebay. I bid on both of them because I keep getting sniped, but then I ended up winning both of them. That's expensive for somebody on a fixed income like me.
How do you control the handlebars? Button to throw papers?
If you end a day with no subscribers, you are allowed to play the next delivery day with no subscribes. However, if you complete the course for that subscriber-less delivery day, the game ends.
I also have an original 1986 Playerschoice 10 stand up arcade game which allows you to play multiple games and game time is dependant on how many quarters are inserted "resonable" offer - Love your video and what a cool game room you have...Please let me know if you have an interest in making an offer on either or both games - Thanks Johnny
omg memories sniff i cant believe it ontop of that right next to moon patrol i lived in arcades in the 80s me and my sister used to play that together to and kung fu with the 2 controllers i also loved burger time bad dudes altered beast golden axe elevator action splater house dragons lair double dragon shinobi and gauntlet now those are real games
kinda funny the candy store by my school had this game but prolly didn't get it till 87 maybe 88 and they got it after double dragon and gauntl
You wouldn't happen to know where I can find standard 19 inch monitors for a decent price?
I want to live in your house bro! I used to like the ZX Spectrum coversion of Paperboy but I never played the cab :(.
Good job as always...
Actually plays well on MAME with a usb gamepad
Your the coolest bro...i played this game as a kid thought it was the best
@OldMusicOnVinyl1 Yeah, totally! Paperboy has some amazing music and sound effects!
I played this game for the first time on the orginal gameboy...the whole color thing didnt work. lol
Lol, nice machine, never seen one of these before, lol, well done on finding the cheap monitor :o) Yes, I suck at paperboy too :o(
Your cellar must be worth thousands.
@nutherefurlong I have an APB in my garage. I'll post a video soon.
@Isthisthelongestname No, I don't have Battlezone. I have friends that do and personally it's not a game for me! :)
I have Paperboy as well but needs some work...how much did you pay for yours John and what do you estimate its worth at?
Scores Scores Scores.
Am I hearing Magical Drop on your Neo Geo cabinet in the background?
I want this game so bad!
so on the actual machine, do you accelerate by pushing the bike controller forward and brake by pulling it back?
@joeypesci I don't have it, but seems like a cool game to check out in MAME.
@BoingotheClown If you want a new monitor check arcadeshop. Otherwise, buy a horrible game on Craig's List and take the monitor from it! I do this move all the time.
@Corad4 Almost all of my games are on FREE PLAY. It's the best way. :)
Clasic game i played it a lot :-) i think the game i played most was Double Dragon
Søren Schjødt double dragon was the best
ahhh you didnt show how you control your speed i want to see you push thows bar`s back and forth :)
Hey blkdog do you have a robotron 2084 cabinet if you do you should review it
is there anyway you can play this game without calling it out?
Rrtjggn,mt.o

Is your basement that loud that you have to shout your intros?
No. I'm just loud.
Ahhh, just wondering.
Superb room you have nontheless.
I love jungle king
Beat the game on the NES.

You should shake the camera a bit more.
+SuperCholdi This video is 6 years old. :) EQUIPMENT HAS GOTTEN BETTER. :D
Elbow dampers?
+SuperCholdi Yes, I have installed those and that's what I use now.
cool
Game is unforgiving. I can get to wed on easy. If anyone can beat it on hard, Jesus your god
You sound like circletoons
Yeah- I hope that medium res doesn't go out on you anytime soon!
Just picked up a Xybots and fixed my Cyberball....
