What if the Paperboy video game happened in real life?
If you spent as much time as I did in the arcades growing up, you too would recall how quarters disappeared faster than you could earn them, but also during that time you might remember a little gem of a video game from Atari called Paperboy. If you don’t, then let me refresh your memory. Paperboy follows the adventures of, you guessed it, a paperboy riding his bike on his daily route trying to throw his papers into newspaper boxes of the homes of his customers. Of course riding this route is never an easy task as the player has to dodge many obstacles along the way while trying to make paper deliveries in the neighborhood. That being said, comedy site Nocturnal Emissions takes a real life spin on the classic arcade title and ponders what would happen if the paperboy really upsets one of his customers on his daily route. The resulting movie is funny while at the same time paying homage to the game.
