I have played three ports of this game. The game boy one back in the early 90's, Genesis and PS2. The port of the game to the PS2 on one of the midway arcade treasures collection was closest thing to the arcade.
yup this was one instance where the master systems version was better than the nes one...the master system's arcade ports always seemed a little better.. (like choplifter, and arguably double dragon) but the nes had a much better library of classics...I was lucky enough to have them both as a kid, and though i did play alot of phantasy star, wonder boy, and alex kidd, I always spent most of my time on the nes with zelda, mario, contra, punchout, etc etc...
I'm glad I had a Master System now, this was my very first video game as a kid and I would have been really disappointed by the NES version. The Master System version is far superior, and as my first game I'm sure it's one of the main reasons I became a gamer.
@eskimoechidna But it play's a lot better than the C64 version. LOL I don't know if a bag of dicks is an accurate description.. But hey ! to each his own. lol
@elpiojo0105 I'm glad You enjoyed it. Haven't played Paper boy 2 for the Genesis though. I'll have to look at it. :) muchas gracias por su commentario.
What I don't like about this game is the need to be "pixel perfect" in order to not break a window and avoid obstacles along the way. I've played a lot the Commodore 64 version and it's possible to get used to the controls but I prefer to listen to the music.
@newcoleco Yeah I know what You mean. It's a real pain in the ass to get the papers to go where You want. The commodore version would have made me pull My hair out if I had any. I shot that version 6 times & that was My best run. lol Sad huh ? It's damn near impossible ! Can't beat the arcade though.
don't have the game boy advance version? :o

The Sega Master System version looks amazing, even compared to the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive version.

I think something's wrong with your C64 emulation. See this Youtube video for what C64 gameplay should look like: watch?v=I5WkueZgA7w
