Live Arcade Wednesday 2/14/07: Paperboy
Originally released in American arcades in 1984, Paperboy was lauded for it’s innovative theme and unique control scheme. As-of this morning, a port of the arcade classic is available on the Xbox 360′s Live Arcade, this time with online or offline multiplayer co-op.
My first experience with Paperboy was way back on Commodore 64. I won’t consider myself a huge fan but for only 400 points ($5) for the original game with online co-op, I see some value in it. I’m still saving my points for Catan, though.
