Paperboy
So I was a little bored and killing time on youtube when I came across this video of someone playing Paperboy for the NES. Did any of you play this game? I think it was one of the funniest games. You definitely don’t have to watch the whole video, but if you make it halfway through at least you’ll see the grim reaper make an appearance. I was a substitute paperboy back in high school and if the grim reaper ever showed up on one of my streets I would have thrown a paper at him and yelled, “Don’t fear the reaper!” EDIT: You don’t have to play the video to see the grim reaper! Here’s right there on the default picture. Ha ha!

I think I am the only person in the world that hasn’t played this! My husband knew exactly what it was~
I’ve never even heard of this game, haha. This was fun to watch. lol
I loved that game!!! I was horrible at it though. I could never hit the actual mailbox and i ran into things all the time…lol.
I hated these game
Oh man… memories. I loved this game. It was a toss up, anytime I turned the thing on, if I’d be playing this or Mike Tyson’s Punch Out.
@trunthepaige - I’m so disappointed. I thought you had taste!
@BoulderChristina - I absolutely loved this game. It just made me laugh so much to throw papers through people’s windows and ::cackles evilly:: at their dogs.
@Megabyyte - That’s one the best things about this game. It was as fun to watch another person play as it was to play yourself!
@ShamrockLover - Sometimes I would intentionally run into things. For some reason I could never complete the obstacle courses at the end though.
@trunthepaige - Did you play any other old school ninetendo games as a kid?
@AgainstTheWind1 - Ah yes, Mike Tyson’s punch out. I remember the first guy was practically made of glass. Then Tyson would be made of solid Oak or something. He was so hard to beat….
grim reaper dude= creeper.
@msbrownstone - That’s the perfect reason to throw a paper at him.
Played it on gameboy.
@Crying_In_Color - Was it any fun on gameboy? How could you tell which houses to give papers to?
Not really much fun. Very small screen and all. I ended up playing Megaman most of the time.
@Shadowrunner81 - i would just be afraid that he would eat my soul after i ate the paper… creeppyyy
WOW! I used to love this game. I played this all the time…along with California games.
@Crying_In_Color - I now know what to post sometime. Gotta love megaman.
@seladore - California games?
Yea you could roller skate,surf,BMxand more…it was the greatest.
Haha! Aw that looks like an adorable game
Grim Reapers are amazing and awesome.
Also, I like the quote on the header of your xanga page! Emerson is awesome. The Grim Reaper is cooler, though
