That would have to be getting a decent amount of papers deliverd, and avoiding losing any lives. Pretty tough with those darn pesky dogs, people, cars etc getting in your way. SMACK!!

Doing what I would have done if I had been a paperboy - ignoring the mail boxes and chucking the papers through peoples windows!!

For me it is when the two guys are brawling in the street and you hit one of them with a news paper making him fall over. The other guy then throws his arms up in the air as if he has won the heavyweight championship!

Pretending you're Elliott in ET - then realising I cant fly (damn you R Kelly) - vandalising people's windows instead.

Its got to be the BMX track at the end of the level, but playing it again now, I just love all those little dated 80s obstacles. The geezers breaking the electric boogaloo on the sidewalk, the fishboard skateboards, its like this beautifully pixelated time capsule - you half expect Alf, Mr T, or perhaps even Bergerac to step out from behind the suburban white picket fence and knock you down with the one hand, and remind you of your wonderfully misspent youth with the other – “Paper Boy Calls It A day”

Having said that the tune is pretty dope, and will stick in your head all day yet somehow mythically manage not to annoy you. How do they do that?

Realising that, most of the stuff I do in the game, I can't perform in real life. Not only can Paperboy be a fun game, but it can also be a good stress-reliever.

Having to speed up the pedal, I'd say those odd looking obstacles where you came across people drilling, go-karting, break dancing and unicycling along the pavement. Plus crashing into the sign post, radio and passing car is likely to happen too!

The best moment for me is a satisfying well timed crossing of the road with 2 lanes of traffic. That and breaking windows.
