Guess what, I've been a paperboy for a while. But it was in the Netherlands, where the job is just a bit different that in the US. For instance we couldn't just go around on our bikes and throw the paper at people. We had to walk up to the door and put the paper in their mail box. Which is far less comical. Especially when they have a dog or a horse.

Well at least you dont get coffee thrown at you that way..haha

I'd think that opens the door for even more comedy.. especially if the dog chases you away or if you were to fall through the porch... "There goes the @$#damn newspaper..."

This talking about paperboys makes me want to play the good old "Paperboy" game on my Nintendo System.

Does anybody remember this?



They even had a commercial for the NES version:

I remember that game, I remeber playing that.

Me too, the original arcade one back in 1987

Cool. The games were much simpler back then but still somehow were equally fun as playing today's games.

I like them all. Did anyone see the movie/documentery called "King Of Kongs"?

Mmmmmmmmmmmh, that was too sweeeeeeeeeet! "The King of Kong: A fistful of quarters". One of my favorite documentaries of all time. Like the classic battle of good vs. evil.

Check the trailer if you haven't seen it yet:

I remember when it hit the arcades in 1985. It was immensely popular! I was never really, really good at it but boy was it fun. Anyone remember the bug in the game where you could slide past the finish line of the test track and continue to play with an infinite number of papers (albeit extremely screwed up graphics)? For some reason that REALLY pissed off the arcade attendant...lmao.

Yeah, I remember that bug. The interesting thing is, they never got rid of it.

Even on the home console version there was this bug. As a kid I always wondered what the hell was going on there.

That's it, King Of Kong's A fistfull of quaters. Awesome documentary. I watched that about 3 or 4 times. They really made Billy Mitchell look like an ass (maybe he really is). After I saw that I downloaded Donkey Kong on my Wii. Nice little blast from the past. The very first Mario game. Here's some trivia: what was the name of the girl Mario was trying to resucue in the Donkey Kong game? Don't cheat using google.
