Remake of the Paperboy arcade classic. Deliver the paper while dodging dogs, cars and various hostiles. Tilted view, dated controls, weak 3D environments. Brief retro charm, technically dated even for 1999. For nostalgia-curious players.

Collector interest

Midway's N64 take on Paperboy sits among the quiet late-PAL 1999 releases, which is why a modest loose value contrasts with a far scarcer sealed copy. The cartridge holds little play appeal on its own, and demand leans on Midway catalogue completists and fans of end-of-generation arcade remakes rather than any cult standing.
