Paperboy (NES) speed run part 1/2

Random vandalism edition (part 1/2)

Speed run done on an NES console. NOT tool-assisted.
Final time is 10:53

Make two big mistakes in run:

* Monday, crash too late costs a few seconds

* Hit the brakes once

The NES version is totally ass. I forget sometimes just how horrible the arcade ports of games were for NES, this TMNT and Rampage are all equally disastrous. I grew up through the 80s and always was disappointed with NES ports of games but now in my late 20s when I revisit them, it's somehow so much worse.

Yea, i know what you mean about being disappointed with arcade ports. I'm not as old as you but i remember fighting game ports to home consoles usually weren't that great. But it's the NES, you can't really expect a perfect transition. However, Ninja Gaiden is an example of a port that's actually superior to the arcade version.

You carefully worded your description to attract people who search for stuff like "perfect tool assisted speed run"

[RiskBreakerY]

if i did it was by accident. i just wanted to address the TAS issue in the description that's all. the run itself is obviously not very perfect.

the tags are: paperboy speed run

no other claims otherwise

What was that guy really doing at 0:50? I always thought he was trying to put on his pants.

I love the sound effects in this game. It's so ridiculous.

@EWAShock Yup yup, Thank god for the SNES and Genesis versions. At least the controls were more loose, the old NES was so stiff it was almost unplayable.

[aza4444]

they did an absolutely astounding job for its time.

[RiskBreakerY]

@JiflixIsGay Yea, it looks really funny to hit the curb after doing pretty well lol. Really out of place...then again, so is everything else in this game it seems like.
