      @meleu it’s really not that bad once you press Down. Conversely, Up makes him go faster.

      Breaking windows on non-customer houses gives you points, but not on customer houses.

        After seeing some wonkiness when trying to put my initials in, I think I know what MAME is trying to do. Since Paperboy was originally using an analog input, when you press a direction on the d-pad, MAME just keeps pressing that direction for you. I am not sure of a great way to "stop" it other than pressing the opposite way. That said, the game is totally playable. After only a few rounds I got 4575 on Easy Street.

          1. Getting your name in is quite difficult. Somehow I ended up with "N" before the timer ran out.

            I've not tried it on MAME yet, but I played this one in the arcades (with the bicycle handlebars controller) and remember it was a right &*#@%^ to control then as well!

              I just noticed that default by the names in the grid for Middle Road and Easy Street say something.

                  I see it now. Wow. I never would have seen that had you not pointed it out.

                                  Everytime the Paperboy arcade game comes to my mind I remember this picture of a guy holding the original Paperboy board:

                                  same here. not shortly after, we got nes, had it jailbroken with dozens more crammed into a single board, that, not even 4th of its size.
