About this game

Paperboy returns in this game with the same objectives as last time but with a new retro-3D look.

As the paperboy the player must deliver a newspaper to each of their subscribers.

The more papers the player delivers in the least amount of time, the better the chances of signing more subscribers.

For each street, the player has a maximum number of subscribers that they need to sign-up before they can move onto the next, more challenging street (aka, the next level).

Each street includes objects that will get in the player's way (such as dogs, fire hydrants, etc.) as well as bonus objectives.

Collecting three coins by knocking down people and items on the street will take the player to bonus levels, for instance, ranging from obstacle courses to catching fire flies.

The player can win extra subscribers by completing these bonus levels.

About PC

PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.

Gamevaro tracks Paperboy for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Paperboy to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1985.

Rarity & condition

No market sales have been tracked yet for Paperboy — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
