MAME ROW #54 - Paperboy
-
Hey guys, I'm having bad times to control too.
When I tested I just launched the game and didn't play seriously, but today I tried to play to make some score and looks like the control is a bit crazy... with some random movements...
I would like to propose that we vote again for the other two games (using the same poll) and check the results tomorrow when it'll be night on @obsidianspider 's part of the world.What do you guys think? -
@meleu I think you slow him down and try again. The game is not easy, but it is playable. So far I have gotten to 3275 points on Tuesday on Easy Street. My goal after work is to try to get on the leader board.
This is why people should try the games and then vote. 😜
-
@obsidianspider OK, let me try it again slowing him down.
-
@meleu it’s really not that bad once you press
Down. Conversely,Upmakes 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.

- 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.
PAPER BOY IS THE GREATEST

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.
