Paperboy 2 — About this game
Paperboy 2 turns a bicycle delivery round into a test of steering and accurate throws. Subscribers are highlighted before the ride, and missing them or breaking their windows costs business. Deliver to every remaining customer to win back a former subscriber; once the route is full, another perfect delivery earns an extra life. Traffic, animals and stranger neighbourhood hazards compete for your attention, while good deeds and hits on non-subscribers’ property offer scoring opportunities. Each day ends with a training course where a crash does not cost a life. Three seven-day weeks lead to new routes. In two-player mode, deliveries take turns, but both riders can meet on the bonus course and ride it together.
