Paperboy 2 PC

The second part of the game about the difficult profession of a newspaper player. This time the development was the company Tengen, which minimally expanded the classic idea and significantly improved the audio-visual setting.

Gracz takes on the role of the morning edition of The Daily Sun, who has to throw newspapers into the mailboxes of people with subscriptions when riding a bicycle. As was the case in the original, the task is not very simple here, as apart from the exact targeting, it is also necessary to avoid various obstacles encountered on the street (cars, children running out, firing gargoyles, etc.). Contact with each of these objects ends with a fall and the loss of one of the few "live".

The game was divided into three large stages (with a changing street layout) and these in turn for seven consecutive days. If the subscriber's home runs out of newspapers, they will unsubscribe to the press the following day. If you don't manage to deliver the newspaper to anyone at all, you'll automatically leave work and finish the game. After driving along the whole estate there is still a bicycle obstacle course waiting for you, where you can earn extra points.

Just like in the original, the authors of Paperboy 2 used the view in the isometric projection. However, the area of activity has grown significantly, thanks to which the player has a larger field of maneuvering - which is especially useful in avoiding obstacles. The game seems to be easier than its predecessor, but these are just appearances. The real challenges await only in the second and third stages. Access to them is also possible by means of codes, so that the player will not have to start playing every time from the very beginning.
