Paperboy 2
==========

No window is safe. No fence is too high. The paperboy is determined 
to deliver the paper to his subscribers any way he can. Tossing 
papers left and right, riding in three directions, jumping anything, 
this free-wheeling carrier visits more neighbourhoods and houses, 
faces more targets and obstacles, in more vivid colours than ever 
before.

Plus, rod stunt riding and BMX tracks in bonus rounds. Choose to 
ride as either Paperboy or Papergirl too!

PLAYING THE GAME

It's early morning and the birds are singing. That familiar 
"THWAP!" means one thing - look out the Paperboy is back. 
Paperboy 2 is a daredevil stunt rider with a new look - boy or 
girl! The neighbourhood has changed too! There are mansions and 
haunted houses. There are also more obstacles, such as gargoyles, 
ghosts and sewer monsters. Luckily Paperboy 2 has improved 
steering ability and can deliver on both sides of the street. 
Nonetheless, Paperboy 2 still needs help to survive the hazards 
of the suburban jungle!

When the game begins, a screen shows all the houses with 
subscribers' houses and non subscribers. Score, lives remaining, 
and papers appear on the left of the screen. Score points by 
getting Paperboy 2 to deliver papers to subscribers' houses - 
those with paperboxes in front. Make sure they get their papers 
or they will drop their subscriptions! Get points when Paperboy 2 
does good deeds, such as stopping runaway prams.

At the end of the day, beware! The boss reviews Paperboy 2's 
performance. If Paperboy 2 did well he (or she) gets to wake up 
bright and early the next morning and make the rounds again. If 
she (or he) didn't make the grade, it may be time to look for a 
new job!


LEVELS

The game has four "weeks" of seven days each (Monday through 
Sunday). If Paperboy 2 misses a subscriber's house, then that 
house becomes a non-subscriber. If Paperboy 2 delivers to all 
the subcribers, he (or she) can regain a former subscriber. This 
is called a perfect delivery.

In addition, there is a bonus round training course at the end of 
each day. The training course becomes harder each day. If Paperboy 2 
crashes in the bonus round, he (or she) doesn't lose a life.


THE DAILY REPORT

After the training course, the Daily Report screeen appears. If 
Paperboy missed any subscribers' houses (or broke their windows!), 
those houses change colour meaning they will cancel their 
subscriptions the next time around. If Paperboy made all 
deliveries he (or she) keeps existing subscribers and gains 
additional subscribers. When Paperboy gets through a whole week 
of daring deliveries, she (or he) makes the headlines of the 
Daily Sun and earns a promotion!
