****************************************************************************

Opening Side Remarks: I had 30 bucks in my pocket and that was the only game 
that seemed interesting to me, so I bought it.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: In four words: Practice makes it perfect. It's a do or
die kind of game where you should memorize everything on the street. It's 
actually a little fun though. For you people that don't know what Paperboy
is, it's a game where you ride a bike through a street and deliver newspapers.
You have to avoid cars, trees, fences, people, carts and other stuff.

Liked: a little fun

Hated: Frustrating gameplay

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Poor graphics. At least you can recognize that that tree
is a tree. Wait! It's a dog! No wait a minute, that's a comet! God help us all!
Wait a second, that is a tree! No... it was a car all along. And is coming right
for me. ahhh! 

Liked: My joke was pretty funny. Actually, you know that if a tree is a tree...
       ......... well, sometimes.

Hated: Poor detail

****************************************************************************

Sound Description: Annoying songs and could-have-been-better sound effects.
Liked: Nothing

Hated: Everything

****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: Even though even nintendo.com said that the control
stinks, I disagree. They're not so bad. A little repetitive, but it's just a
pick-it-up-and-play kind of game.

Liked: Nothing really

Hated: Repetitive.

****************************************************************************

Improve: More of everything.

RIYL: Paperboy ( for Master System, Super Nintendo , original gameboy and Atari)

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I wasn't expecting much out of this game, so I wasn't dissappointed.
I think it's nice, though. Pick it up and play kind of game.
