Nintendo Paperboy
 
Great game in its day, eh. So what bike do you think he was riding? GT bmx, C'dale mtb, Roadmaster, the paperboy staple Varsity? Or...? Discus!

It was an 8-bit Rollback from Walmart.


I was fat in high school, so in track it was shot put or discus.

Seeing it is an electronic game then he had to be riding some version of an ebike. I would think.

Based on the cover art on the cartridge it is without a doubt some kind of BMX bike.

Whenever I see those Skyway mags, I think Mongoose, because a kid in my neighborhood growing up had a Mongoose on red Skyways.

So I'll go with Mongoose.

Ha, I forgot all about Skyway Tough Wheels, I had a set back in the early 80's on my Race Inc BMX bike.

Paperboy was probably the only and greatest "bicycle" game of all time. I remember playing it in the arcade and the controller was a handlebar! It was real hard to play because the bike would float all over the place. The cats and people were the worse!

I believe it was a cruiser like the kind Schwinn made in the 1960s. It's sad this is now an adult job.
