mbd39 | 2,020 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is one of a handful of games that The Mexican Runner rated a 1. He beat every licensed NES game and rated them all. For some reason he really hated Paperboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) 32600 18520 Goddamn this game sucks. I really dig the first one, but man this one blows. Also, not sure why my image chose to turn on it's side...it's right on my PC and my phone, so it seems like VGS did something to it. But regardless, unless I get REALLY bored, this is probably gonna be my score this week. EDIT: Well, I got really bored, so I played it again. Made it to Thursday, and while I still think it sucks, it's not as bad as I had initially thought. Still pretty craptacular though...I really don't see what the appeal is. Still, I think there's still room for improvement if I could be arsed to give it another go. Edited March 22, 2022 by the_wizard_666 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't buy the bluray (when it was finally released) soon enough... In looking for that image, I discovered that a very old Bill Elliott wrote a book called, "My RAD Life." You need to add that to your collection. Ive watched it a lot on some streaming platform with my son. He calls it the bike movie and Im never disappointed when he chooses that.

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 My only issue with the Paperboy games is that you can see your death coming long before it happens but you just can't seem to get your bike out of the way, so it's like seeing your life flash before your eyes over and over and over again with the same damn negative result - very frustrating. Sigh.... I haven't even beat Wednesday yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes from route 1 to route 2 seem crazy at first, but didnt take much getting used to. I had reached it before, but was always pretty much on empty lives wise and never got anywhere. Now I can reach it in good shape on lives and if you watched me play Monday, youd think Id run right through week 2. But there seems to be a HUGE difficulty jump on Wednesday, which is around the same time Im approaching 100k. Probably not a coincidence high scores so far are 118, 103, 102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
