C64 Longplay - Paperboy

[Simon0]

i like to chuck tyres at my paper boy.. and send lawn mowers after him. Just like in this game.

[LudeUwe]

childhood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joeyang1976]

Wow, you are awesome at this game! I loved it but I was awful. Paperboy is so surreal- what a f*cked up neighborhood to live in. It's like something out of a David Lynch movie

[Tappermccabe]

wow. That looks like a dangerous place to live.........

[Jarren202]

am i hallucinating or...

...WHY ISN'T MONDAY GREY?

[rtrgrl78]

I use to play this version to death, even now after countless different versions always go back to this. So atmospheric, god bless the Commodore 64.

[TZMIndy]

I have to salute your skills to pay the bills. I never could play Paperboy with a damn.



[y2k4ever1]

graphics could have been better for such an actually powerful system, hell turrican for example, they just got lazy, or this is a tape version, other wise the graphics actually could have been a bit past nes quality! As for sound the c64 always pulls threw!!!

[omghahahahahahah]

awesome music

[JoeyJoeJoe5000]

Wow! how come every C64 game I see is so horribly done? the sound and graphics are always shit.

[marcosorg]

@JoeyJoeJoe5000 this game is from 1986, what kind of graphics do yo spect from? there was no Cryengine at that time hahaha!

[JoeyJoeJoe5000]

@marcosorg What I mean is, the C64 can do much better. It looks like they only used like 3 colors, come on! you can't tell me this game was not done by lazy programmers!

[inphanta]

@JoeyJoeJoe5000: You're looking at the wrong videos. :) A lot of C64 arcade ports were lazily done and don't really show what the system can do.

[CitroenC407]

@JoeyJoeJoe5000 - You are definitely looking at the wrong videos my friend. The C64 was a brilliant system with some truly breathtaking games!

I give you this one -

watch?v=vADKoSDqhdk

THIS shows what the C64 can do :)

[slamdog2000]

lol



[Espie1979]

I remember this game, it was a lot of fun. Hadn't realised until now what a bunch of arseholes everyone in the neighbourhood were - trying to attack you, rolling tyres at you, pushing lawn mowers in the street. Not to mention the illegal construction of fences over footpaths - i wonder what the council would have to say about that?

[bustsomecaps]

beyond awesome so many memories i miss it and the music is awesome DOH

[Ujpestdrukker]

you are the dos gamer?

[pyropete1723]

lol ... i never made it past the third house ...

[Jarren202]

How come Monday's all black? I remember it being grey!

[ArkhanTheBlack1]

I actually broke a joystick to this game in sheer frustration back when was a kid! I did manage to survive the week through sunday and complete the game once though (I was pretty young, about 8) I remember the ending screen paper has the headline "CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER!" I also recall that the Grim Reaper makes an appearance on the final level.

[BritishBlackOpps]

wow this game had like an amazing amount of colors i count 4 lol

[GlNGERBREAD]

only a sad twat would play this game long enough to get good at it

[azshaw123]

@GlNGERBREAD Your the sad twat!!!!!!!!!! Grow up moron...When was you born?

[theHermitGamer]

@GlNGERBREAD Are you kidding?!? Go away and play some Halo.

[einherje71]

This game was way to hard for me. Eventhough i was a teenager. :)

Or my joystick was a little crappy. :)

But it was a great game. Fantastic playing Derschmu.

Thanks for posting.

[Databamse]

We have a billion times more powerful hardware today if you consider nvidia gtx graphics cards and the newest 6 core processors. And you cant make this fast graphics using windows gdi (without using directx).

We don't really have much to brag about today.

[Biopharmer]

@VVideogamer sounds like the opposite with me. In fact I think I lent my gameboy copy to a friend about 13 years ago actually. Wow. weird. But that was in Germany when I lived there for a year.

[superfossi]

@VVideogamer no wonder :) same thing happend to me

[IdioticTendencies]

This game has so many lovable features: How you can deliver appropriately or be a total bastard by breaking windows and throwing garbage can lids open with the newspapers. I like how the lawnmower tries to move to the way of the paperboy, how the 4 identical dogs romp on the street and how the neighbour guy tries to run after the paperboy. And wtf, is that the Grim Reaper beginning at Saturday?? =D

[Akaitsuki85]

simple but enjoyable :)

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Da kommen Erinnerungen auf xD

Die Spiele hatten damals so viel weniger Inhalt wie so manch ein Spiel heutzutage und ich weiß daß mich diese Spiele mehr gefesselt haben wie so manch anderer Käse der heute im Spieleregal zu finden ist. Besonders spassig waren auch die Winter und Summer Games zusammen mit Kumpels ... wobei Letzteres eher bekannt als Joystick-Killer war bis endlich jemand den Competition Pro erfunden hatte, hehe.

[shairaptor]

@BattlefieldDoktor du beschreibst grad meine jugend, hehe. mit freunden treffen und winter und summergames zusammen zocken, mei war das geil! heute zockt kaum noch einer meiner kumpels games. wird auch meist (nicht alles aber meist) nur langweiliger käse produziert. die spiele fesselten mich damals auch viel mehr als heute. viel zu aufwendig und "höha schnella weida", games auf dem C64 sind viel spassiger :)

[BattlefieldDoktor]

@shairaptor Da hast recht, heute ist alles sehr viel aufwändiger, aber der Spielspaß ist meist begrenzt und irgendwie ist heute alles das Gleiche ... entweder MMORPG mit schlage 10 Straußen tot um 1 Straußenei zu bekommen, oder Ballerspiele wo die Kiddies mit ihren Cheats sowieso jeden Spaß nehmen. Und früher schön zu zweit am Schirm gezockt. Vielleicht sollte ich mir ne Videospielkonsole besorgen und schauen obs da auch solche Spiele wie damals gibt.

[shairaptor]

@BattlefieldDoktor auf konsole ps3 und xbox360 gibts auch nur den gleichen käse. wii und ds sind aber gut, nintendo qualität ist nachwievor super :) mal schauen wie der nachfolger der ds wird, der 3ds :)

[getupkid76]

This game and "who dares wins" was the first c64 games i ever played.. got my own 64 in christmasgift by my parents in 1987.. the best era of gaming ever!

[playerup]

wow.....simply the best.

i have never seen this game played so well :)

[stoysville]

That's skill full - this game is not easy O_o

[mrjs32]

Impressive. I don't think I ever reached Saturday. It's amazing how little sense some of the games of that era made with dogs running through fences and walls, as well as sentient tyres and lawnmowers. ;-D Still, a lot of fun.

[Xelmon]

Holy Christ... Sir has aim!!

[AbsurdistLover]

Congratulations are in order.

[RyogaZ]

Hardcore!

[gurtygurt64]

The guys at the finish line look like they have no pants and are proud of it.

[jmspllkn]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[huhtime]

i think the fat guy running in the track suit is ment to be elvis

[BertisEvil66]

MAN ! you are very good !!!!

thanks for sharing this !!!!

[tiradeoftruth]

yeah the end of day music is a little eery for some reason.always liked the main tune though

[Balage78Szfvar]

I saw a PLUS4 version of this cca 20years ago,in a computer room at primary school.That had POPCORN music.

[ositear]

hated the end of the day music

[odraconiandevil79]

A fast and fun game. Played it as a kid and think I got through the whole week.

Some of these comments confuse me: the crazy bitch with the knife?

Maybe that was on the arcade version.

[LetsGoRW]

nice neighborhood. the crazy bitch with the knife lives right next door to the guy in the wife beater who runs after people on their bike who ride by. hahaha

[LetsGoRW]

those damn tires always got me. how the hell were they going back and forth with nobody pushing them anyways? lol

[Izachiel]

this game is so god damn hard

i couldn't beat a single stage without fucking up

[soereniiwebde]

einfach nur hammergeil, mit 5 oder 6 jahren war das mein lieblingsspiel. ich werd mir jetzt nen c64 emulator runterzierhen und ne runde paperboy zocken^^ ps bin jetzt 23/5 Jahre

[mrshorlix07]

I used to play this on the C64 when I was 4

Loved the music, but was terrified of the lawnmowers and the man that chases you

and I played level 3 that same way..

[lauxetta]

awesome!

[normalman37]

looks like an impossible game.

[MeMyselfAndEyez]

Your route through Wednesday was exactly as I used to play it.. Wonder if EVERYONE took the same routes through that game!

[niansenx]

One of my fondest gaming memories, not just playing it on the C64 but also in the arcade with the handlebar controller!

[cmprol]

It had my heart racing as if I was playing it again - many thanks

[elusiverobertdenby]

Did you get points for breaking the non-subscribers' windows?  Is that an urban legend?

[TheRyk]

No that's true. You get a bonus at the end of each level for any broken window of non-subscribers.

[ridibunz]

lol, the grim reaper at the end is just great

[sjensen1984]

thanks for adding this!
