GUESS PAPERBOY FROM SCREENSHOTS
Delivering the news has never been this hazardous. Paperboy puts you on a bike ride down a diagonal suburban street, tossing papers at subscribers' doors while dodging dogs, cars, lawnmowers and breakdancers. The 1984 arcade original used actual handlebar controls, and its slice-of-Americana humor made it a coin-op standout.
