Paperboy
报童
Paperboy for Nintendo 64 is an action game developed by High Voltage Software in 1999. In this game, players take the role of a newspaper delivery boy navigating residential streets to deliver papers to subscriber homes. The core gameplay involves aiming and throwing newspapers accurately toward houses while avoiding obstacles such as parked cars, fences, and other hazards. Each level represents a complete city block with multiple delivery targets. The N64 controller is used for aiming and throwing mechanics. Difficulty increases progressively through the levels as obstacles multiply and delivery windows become tighter. Players earn points and bonuses based on delivery accuracy, while damaging property deducts points. The game requires players to memorize house locations and master throwing techniques to complete each route effectively.
