Paperboy — About this game

This trainer edition adds cheat support to Paperboy. Paperboy turns a newspaper delivery round into a cycling obstacle course. Choose Easy Street, Middle Road or Hard Way, then deliver to the brightly colored subscriber houses while steering past traffic, dogs and other hazards. A paper in a mailbox or on a porch counts as service; missed or damaged subscriber houses cancel the next day. Lose every customer and the job ends. Successful deliveries can bring back a lost subscriber, while damaging non-subscribers’ property earns breakage points. Carry up to ten papers and collect bundles before running dry. Each day finishes with a timed training course where targets, ramps and careful steering add points without costing lives for a crash.
