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.

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)

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.

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?

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
