The main character appears on the 2012 animation movie "Wreck-It Ralph" from Walt Disney Animation Studios. Phil Britt holds the official record for this game ('Grand Slam' score of all three streets combined) with 1,136,435 points. The default high score screen of "Cyberball 2072" features names of many Atari arcade games, including PAPERBOY. For example, if you had top score at 10,000,000, this would appear as '110000000'. After a score of 10,000,000 or more is achieved, the initial in the top 10 ranking merges with the score to produce a truly impressive score display. The boys had submitted to Atari a detailed proposal for a similar game in July 1983.

for $1 million plus profits alleging that the company stole the idea for a video game that was marketed by the name of PAPERBOY. Robin Hallingstad filed a suit against Atari Games Corp. Players: 2 Control: Bicycle handlebars Buttons: 2 (one on each side of the handlebars, for throwing papers) TRIVIA Even if the title screen says 1984, Paperboy was released in April 1985. TECHNICAL Game ID: 136034 Runs on the "Atari System 2" hardware. This is a bonus round and no lives are lost for failing to reach the finish line. This obstacle course is filled with various targets at which to throw newspaper, as well as ramp jumps to be negotiated. At the end of each delivery day, players have a chance to sharpen their skills by guiding Paperboy through the Paperboy Training Grounds. So the more customers that are lost, the more hostile the neighborhood becomes toward Paperboy. If Paperboy damages a subscriber's property, that character may also attack. In addition to the obstacles, non-subscribers are hostile towards Paperboy and will attack him and try to knock him down. A collision with anything results in the loss of a life. To avoid collisions, Paperboy can ride his bike anywhere - on the sidewalk, in the street, or into front yards. While making his deliveries, Paperboy must avoid collisions with all stationary objects and other characters moving about the neighborhood. A paper supply indicator is displayed underneath the player's score. Paperboy can carry a maximum of ten papers at a time, but can restock his supply by riding over paper bundles placed here and there on his route. This helps to remind players of what customers they may have lost on the previous day and the location of remaining customers. At the start of each day, a map of Paperboy's route is displayed to indicate subscriber and non-subscriber houses. As a non-subscriber, this house now presents more targets at which to throw newspapers for building up the Breakage Bonus. If Paperboy loses a customer, that customer's house will be dark coloured the next day. The total Breakage Bonus is awarded to the player at the end of each day (or at the end of the game-whichever comes first). Hitting these targets earns points for the "Breakage Bonus", which is displayed at the top center of the screen. Non-customers' houses and yards are loaded with targets at which to throw your extra papers (windows, lamps, statues, etc.). However, on any day in which all customers have their papers successfully delivered, one of the non-customers will re-subscribe. Losing all ten of Paperboy's customers will get him fired and the game is over.
Any damage done to a customer's property also results in the loss of that customer. Failure to deliver a paper to a customer results in the loss of that customer for the next day. To deliver to a customer, the player must throw a paper either into the customer's mailbox, or onto their front porch. Paperboy's customers live in the brightly coloured houses, while non-customers live in dark coloured houses. Each game begins with ten customers and ten non-customers. Paperboy is a one or two-player game in which the objective is to deliver Newspapers to the Paperboy's customers from Monday through to Sunday.
