I recently played the "Paper Boy 2" for the first time since I was a child playing the Atari. This was and still is an excellent game to play. The graphics are phenomenal when you take into consideration when it was created.
Basically you are the paper boy, and your job is to deliver the paper to your customers and keep them happy. The happier your customers are the more money you make, and the more customers you will acquire. Your mode of transportation is of course your dirt bike.

Basically you are the paper boy, and your job is to deliver the paper to your customers and keep them happy. The happier your customers are the more money you make, and the more customers you will acquire. Your mode of transportation is of course your dirt bike. Just like a real paper route you have to avoid everyday obstacles (i.e. road construction, dogs/cats darting across the road, and cars). You also have to watch that you don't damage your customer’s
property. If you throw a paper threw a window and breaks it, well that’s money out of your pocket and you loose that customer. You can also damage other property if you’re not careful. Extra points are given if you can throw the paper right into the mailbox, which is always my goal. The closer to the front door you throw the paper the more points you get which tells you that your customers are happy. I know I'm happy when I don't have to hunt for my paper in the morning.
Again the graphics are great for a game that is probably 10 years old or more. Compared to all of the new games out these days this game has great graphics and isn't such a big file that it will bog down your machine. That’s also the great thing about these games you can have pretty much as many as you want on your machine and it won't affect it.
I can only say that while playing this game it reminded me of my childhood. I remember playing the paper boy on Atari for hours after school. And since downloading this game again just the other day I played it for several hours, and didn't even realize how long I had been playing the game.
I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone. Doesn't matter what your age is either, this game is addictive and I promise that you will enjoy every second of the "Paper Boy 2" as I have the last several hours. Just as an example I let my 7 year old nephew play it and he loved it. I am just a tad bit older than he is so I can honestly say that it is a great game for the entire family.
