19. That was one of my favorite arcade games.

Did you ever use the 'cheat' technique at the racetrack to gain tons of points and extra paperboys?

The two or three fighting tough-guys wearing wife-beaters always used to get knocked out, along with that break-dancer who hogged up the entire sidewalk.

5. Thanks a lot, I have been playing paperboy ......

17. This may make me a Luddite...
...but I think computer games were a lot more enjoyable back when the graphics were primitive. You had to get by on originality (remember M.U.L.E.?) and appealing to the player's imagination more than just churning out another first-person shooter.

20. My computer is too fast for this
This games are running about 3x faster than they should be. Oh well. Too bad C64 never had any thinking games.
