hearing the funky paperboy theme with the cowbell, just classic.

You guys are lucky to grow up in the 80s/90s.

The SEGA Master System and Game Gear versions used music from Moon Patrol.

Indeed! Very nice observation =)

Very true. I feel bad for kids now because they will never know the comradery that comes with counting up Your quarters, Hopping on Your bike, & peddling down to the local arcade & meeting up with Your friends after school & playing those big clunky cabinets. The sounds, smells, & the atmosphere. I can still recall the feeling of excitement associated with it when You got to play a new game. And when Your game was over .. it was over. You couldn't just play it until You beat it. ..

Genesis version is nearly identical to the arcade. Proper graphics, background music, sound effects, and paperboy's voice.....PEREFECT!

the Amiga version doesn’t count as a port it probably was a lazy remake of the Atari ST version

A boombox in front of most houses in the Sega Master System and Game Gear versions.. I guess many people liked loud music in those versions..

You're a rare breed. It always makes me happy when I come across kids like you who actually get it, but it doesn't happen often. Every once in awhile you see a newer game that is just as good as the older stuff, but it's very rare. I can only think of a handful of games that came out after 2001 that are just as good as many of the classic games from the 80's and 90's. Two of them are Tales of the Abyss' and 'Dragon Quest VIII', both of them are late PS2 era RPG's.

Yeah, it was an awesome time. There was something really magical and special about games that came out back then. Why this isn't the case anymore I'm not quite sure, but it's probably a combination of things. I think that the hardware limitations back then may be part of it, since it probably forced game companies to be more creative. Also, with every new generation of systems that came out you saw a HUGE improvement! In my opinion, the golden age of gaming started around 1986 and ended in 1996.

To be honest, the C64 version doesn't play half bad. The worst version I've played is the Commodore 16/Plus 4 version. Awful collision detection.

The Atari and GameBoy also uses the same theme as NES. I never would have thought that there were so many versions of Paperboy. I have the NES version. The game's really ancient. Some looks better than others though, concerning the colours and graphics.

I didn't include the Acorn Electron because it was identical to the micro & Apple 2 GS was a direct port of the C64 version. I was greatly disappointed over that. :(

that music is iconic

i always loved the controller with the handlebars on the arcade version

Did not know there were two version of this for the amstrad.

The Paperboy of the Commodore +/4 looks like he was forced to work while sick

wow ! Very similar ! I never noticed !

Hardcore, can't believe some dude ported this to a BBC micro. Such dedication!

info is updated ! Enjoy the video folks ! ^_^

The Genesis version seemed to have gotten it right.

Me too. That & the Star Wars version. I still drool to this day about that controller. :D-

I am working on new ones. But The remakes have just been getting finished sooner. But I did say that I was going to be doing some remakes. Hold tight though. I'm shooting for a new one next week though.

As Arcade Remakes only Two stand out. Game Boy ... and the N64. The DMG01 for it's arcade conversion to 8Bit and the N64 team for same game but 64Bit Style. Atari's Paperboy .. Who Love's Ya Baby....

In the arcade version it's one of the things He say's when He crashes.

I remember drooling on a computer magazine looking at Tandy coco screenshots but I never knew if they were real or not lol

The ST port is pretty impressive as are the spectrum and CPC versions of course.

I remember the Genesis version being different, and made by Tengen.

All Access Gaming True . The MAT on the PS2 (or MAME) is the closest we'll get unless you have an arcade Paperboy.. I will say (on a side note) that most trackball games work very well with a mouse. Centipede and Missile Command come to mid here. On Missile Command I actually get better scores with a mouse set to very sensitive than I do with the trackball. Same for Centipede.....

I believe that a SNES would have been capable of a version identical to the original arcade, a pitty that nintendo ported it to every platform except the one where it made sense.

Omg i thought this vid was going to be a remake of paperboy i was starting to freak out!

On the Atari ST version the newspapers were solid and would knock people over,stop moving cars and smash windows and headstones.Though I did like the arcade version where people were fighting in the street.

HOLY BUTTS THE GRAPHICS ON THE SMS VERSION, LOOKS 16-BIT!!!!!

The N64 version actually looks pretty cool!

"It needs to have more cowbell"

That is a *lot* of ports

"SMS: Why does this look somehow better than Game Gear?" It's probably because the GameGear had lower resolution. It was a handheld system after all. Besides that, the Master System and GameGear were nearly identical hardware wise.

"REMAKE" in title is a bit misleading

Especially the voice samples.

Generally I only do a request if they meet certain criteria. There must be 6 versions or more. They must be only for older hardware ( Meets this one ) or they must be within a series. I don't know much about the legends series but if it consists of it's original games in parts it might fell into that category. Are the games broke down into it's parts like MM 1,2,3 & such ? Also there are so many variables with stages. It could be a really complicated video. There is a lot to weigh through.

The music for the Sega versions sound like Moon Patrol.

Totally agree I quit playing Farcry 3 half way through to put all my time into playing Terraria no comparison gfx wise but in the gameplay department it beat Farcry hands down i sank 40+ hours a week into Terraria it was that good, then again I am 40 and grew up with the evolution of video games so I know how to appreciate them. Like your videos too lot of time thought and effort gone into producing them.

I never saw the N64 version before.... looks quite different, yet somehow pretty neat.

The Master System version puts the NES to shame. I didn't know there had been a Genesis one done, too--it's (naturally) even better!

GBA was excellent !

Which console/computer is shown from about 48 minutes to 51 minutes? The sidebars have several consoles there at the same time (PS2, PSP, GameCube, etc). JW3HH

Where's the Apple IIGS version in all its craptastic glory?

Interesting that there was never an Atari 8-bit or 2600/5200/7800 version of this. (1985 was after the Tramiel purchase, so Atari and Atari Games were separate companies with different ownership, making ports of new Atari arcade games to Atari home hardware less of an obvious proposition.)

Why is this version of the game playing the music from William's Electronics "Moon Patrol" instead of the paperboy music?

Um, you do know you can knock over the tombstones with the papers, right? (and shoot all different things with them as well)

3:48 A Sinclair C5? Now I know this is a British port.

Y U no smash windows on the grey houses?

I attempted to add it but after 8 failed attempts to get it to load I gave up. But upon further inspection I discovered it was a damn near mirrored port of the commodore 64 version. .. 0_0 .. consider Yourselves lucky. lol

I enjoyed busting many a window when I was a kid playing this game

I use to enjoy playing the Sega Master System version over the NES version when I was a kid. Too bad Sega didnt have a larger library of games for their 8 bit console.

Paperboy from Atari Games. 1985. Where the hell ist the Atari 8bit (XL/XE) port? O_o

Never heard of N64 version, look very..interesting.

I only didnt get, why the original gameboy version is more close to nes and way better then gameboy color and linx

Sorry for the very late response. For some reason your reply never appeared in my inbox. Yes, the Legends games are numbered, but there are only 3 in the series thus far(Legends 1, 2 and a spin-off called The Misadventures of Tron Bonne). They were working on a Legends 3 for the 3DS, but it was cancelled. It pissed off a lot of people who have been waiting over 10 years for a 3rd installment. Anyway, Legends doesn't have stages. It's an action adventure RPG of sorts, different from other MM's

For once I'd say that the ZXSpectrum version of anything isn't that bad looking. Considering I find that system overall quite depressing.

I remember playing a much better dos version than the one shown here, I remember it had music and had much better graphics. Also, I have to wonder why the Master System and Game Gear versions are different, considering that they are essentially the same system.

I must say I never liked much this game, nonetheless the master system version looks, sounds and plays better than the original arcade if you ask me. :)

Nintendo 64 version too radical dude!!!!

Is it just me or does the music for the N64 game was made in midi?

LOL that's why i never took that job when i was a kid ~_^

What version is it ? Could You shoot me a link ? It would be greatly appreciated. I'll have to take a look.

8 BIT: NES and MASTER SYSTEM 16 BIT: AMIGA and MEGADRIVE Was not aware of a late N64 version. I was not a huge fan of those late 90s PSX and N64 revivals. The only two good ones I remember were the PONG and GAUNTLET game.

"What a Jerk I am!"

Also, Paperboy 2 for DOS is a completely original and a very good game, unlike the first part

Looks like the arcade version was the best one out of all of em.

I got some time to understand the guy breakdancing

If You watch My compare of California Games You'll see the solution I came up with. I would have to break down each level into something like 20 second intervals to make a practical video but the quality of the video may suffer. Like I said.. a lot of stuff to consider.

:) If You're ever in South Carolina I'll have to take You to Frankie's Fun Park. They have the largest arcade in South Carolina. But it's been years since I've been there.

i cant hear the amiga version good

To be fair, your showing a amstrad cpc remake. The original cpc version is full colour, alas with no sound effects or music.
