Paperboy 2 is an arcade game released in 1992 for the Game Boy platform. Players take on the role of a paperboy tasked with delivering newspapers along a suburban street while avoiding various obstacles. The main objective is to successfully deliver papers to subscribers' homes without damaging the papers or missing deliveries.
The game features a moderately paced progression, where players must maintain balance between speed and accuracy to complete each neighborhood route. A unique mechanic involves the player throwing newspapers at targets such as mailboxes and customers to score points, adding an interactive layer beyond simple delivery.
Paperboy 2 introduces an unusual concept by blending everyday suburban life with arcade-style action, requiring quick reflexes to dodge obstacles like dogs, vehicles, and pedestrians. Distinctive for its side-scrolling perspective and simple controls, the game captures the challenge of a paper route in a compact handheld format.
