The graphics, sound, and voice clips are quite impressive for 1985. And Atari was quite humorous with their arcade games back in the 80's.

This game was far too difficult for me when I was a young kid.

I played this game when I was very young. I never understood how it worked or what you had to do. It was so unforgiving, one hit and it’ game-over. It’s cool to finally see a playthrough of this after all these years

This was hard asf in the arcade with those handlebars...if you made it past 1 level on easy street you felt like you'd done well.

I always felt this guy deserved a raise for the crap he put up with each day of the week.

There sure are a lot of Addams family members living on this street.

Good at getting papers right in the mailboxes but you're way too nice to your non-customers. Need to be more destructive in that regard. So easy to break some of those houses' windows and get some serious points, even on the Hard Way.

This neighborhood has a real problem with runaway lawnmowers and deadly RC cars.

This is how i always imagined being a paperboy was like

Another jewel of a game from my childhood. Memories of thinking the amiga is the greatest computer of all times. Well at that time, it was...

Greatest soundtrack to feature the cow bell.

[@tastetherainbow9643]

The handlebars were great- the sound effects and music great - great idea for a video game, loved the dudes fighting was hilarious - I loved going on vacations and walking in an unfamiliar mall and finding a new arcade the smell, the sparkling lights and sounds. Hell Yea!!

First time played that on Midway Arcade Treasures.

This game was brutally tough, and not in a good way. Nice to see someone who can play the game well though.

[@guyincognito7308]

Man this brings back memories...such a simple and fun game!!!

[@DMETS519]

The slight diagonal aspect always ruined me when I made it to the training course at the end of each level. I could never line up the ramps with the bike. Still loved the game though. Also love those great atari system 2 sounds they used on several of their games in the late 1980's.

Despite the 1984 copyright, this game was actually first released in April 1985.
