[addc182]

we need some new bar sports games. whats the point of having the category if you're only gonna put one game in it. something like darts, ping pong, foosball....will make me happy.

+1

or a crappy football game not good enough to be a retail game but a fun knock about

Microsoft sent out word that Paperboy will stand in as this week's Xbox Live Arcade release. The classic bike riding hero from the days of yesteryear will return this Wednesday, February 14 at 9 AM GMT (1 AM PST) and can be downloaded worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points ($5 USD).

not bad, not bad! i lika the paperboy!

I absolutely love Paperboy. I was just playing it the other day on my little cousins Gameboy and thinking how I could not wait until it hit XBLA. Sweet it is actually this week. Well, 400 points means already time to buy some new MS points as then they will be gone.

[neoadorable]

hope it's faithful to the arcade version. some of the emulations, altho fine in themselves, have a totally different feel from the originals.

[Guest]

It should be available now. Has anyone tried it?

Can't wait to get home and play!

[PL_ Veteran]

Added Paperboy

[Cuttz]

Added Paperboy

haha that game is siiiick

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

First off, really surprised to see Paperboy weighing in at 49 MB since the graphics are exact and so are the sounds (which the sounds are CLASSIC by the way).

Second off, everyone has those few games that no matter how simple they are you just cannot get the hang of them, and DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, this game is still as hard as it was back in the day when I played it at my local Deli. Seriously, I just truly suck at it. Now I am determined to get good at it.

I was also surprised to see it has CoOp, so if anyone else gets it let me know. (Y)

[neoadorable]

not you and the deli again heh heh. crap, it's just as hard? man, i forgot all about paperboy it's been so long. will be getting it tomorrow. any Live action haha?

also good to hear they kept it faithful to the original.

:rofl: I know I mention that Deli a lot, but seriously it was truly such a huge part of my younger years. It was only a block away from me, which that block was only 6 houses long, and they always had 4-5 arcade cabinets in the back of it and rotated them quite frequently. Not only that, but I was able to use a Quarter on a string on most of the machines for years. :woot: Then the owner caught me and I was banned for almost a year except to go in and buy the candy Now & Laters since they were right in front. No big deal, as I had an Arcade within bike riding distance, although it was a little risky going there as it was right by the projects. I only got robbed twice though out of all of the times I went there, so it was not all that bad. :pinch: The good old days of video games for sure, putting a Quarter on a machine and saying "I Got Next."

But definitely when you get it, we can hop on Live for sure. I have not tried the Live aspect yet and I am curious how the set it up, but the Single Player is 100% faithful.

[neoadorable]

for sure arcades were sometimes creepy back then. i had a guy try to hit on me a couple of times at a certain Wrigleyville location that's stay nameless at this juncture heh...yes, we had mostly a super good time, but then it was a hangout for all kinds of people. the old string trick? that deli guy wasn't too sharp if you got away with it for a year.

ok, let's talk again once we're both re-acquainted with the controls and stuff. any good achieves?

[Guest]

Is is VERY difficult.

But some of the achievements are a little easy. I got 4 of them within 30 minutes :s
