Ohhhh.....No ! What's that ? Again a game is published and Elite
want's to make money with an oooooolllllldddd idea ! I think most
of the so called great old softwarefirms seem to be megalomaniac.
Although I'll have to concentrate on this game and now I'll try
to tell you something about the story ! A little,young boy want's
to make some money and therefore he distributes newspapers in his
neighbourhood.He drives with his bike next to all the houses and
throws the newspaper in front of,or next to the doors ! O.K,
let's play it !
The screen insist on the mainscreen and around this part we find
the scoredisplay,the bonusdisplay and a display for the lifes and
the newspapers which have to be distributed.Their's also
scrolling ! The screen moves fast and smooth from the right upper
corner to the left buttom.In the middle of this action(???)screen
we find our little guy sitting on his bike.When he's driving next
to the houses we can press the firebutton and he throws a
newspaper to the left ! On his long way,there are some dangerous:
Dogs,cars,peoples and other things may crash into his bike and
he'll lose one of his six lifes.But their is another chance.With
his newspapers he can also damage a house or hit a person before
he crashes into the little boy.The technical side of this game is
o.k. ! The scrolling is good,the graphics are average,although the
houses are blockgraphics.Altogether:grafics,all rigth.Let's think
about the rest .... Hmmmm,the rest ... Ohhh yes. The sound is
about four or five years old ! What you can hear out of the
speaker doesn't belong in the year 1989 !!!! But their's another
reason,while playing I haven't had any fun.Nothing motivating !!!
And I think this is the most important thing in a game.
The result:the scrolling is good,the graphics also acceptable,the
sound is more or less a great horror and the motivation is much
behind this you should pay about 69 marks for. Hey you paperboy-
fan ! Don't forget to test the game before buying ! There are
much more and better games you can buy for 69 marks !!!!!!
