Paperboy on Commodore 64 is a home port of the famous arcade game in which the titular adolescent smashes the windows of those who dare to not subscribe to his newspaper.
Unused Graphics#
Loaded in memory are graphics for several unused obstacles. They were all seen in the game's original arcade release, but are absent from this port.
There's a woman carrying a stroller...
...a grumpy-looking man...
...a cat...
...a different woman riding a car...
...two frogs...
...and a breakdancer.
Notably, the car and the breakdancer are mentioned on a preview article in the June 1986 issue of Commodore User.
