Paperboy is a 1984 arcade game by Atari Games. The players take the role of a paperboy who delivers newspapers along a suburban street on his bicycle. This game was innovative for its theme and novel controls. Eventually, this game was ported over to many consoles and home computers including the NES in 1986. The game is renowned for its bizarre series of obstacles and difficulty.

There's not much to say for this short game. The obstacle course is skippable without losing any lives so obviously I crash as early as possible. It's possible to complete the game without hitting the brakes at all so that's what I did. I'd say the hardest part of this run is consistently delivering the newspaper on a particular kind of house unit; so I wound up throwing two papers at those ones to ensure getting the perfect delivery. Other than that, I kinda wished I vandalized more homes. =/

This run isn't perfect so I'd guess that maybe 1-2 secs. can be shaved off with perfect execution and some good luck with some of the lagtastic portions in the weekend.
