Previously worked in games. Now working in VFX (but hey, who knows where I might end back up!). Love stuff from the 80s and 90s. Miss old arcades (not that we had too may in the UK!)

I don't think many people are a fan of Paperboy. I can't say I am, but the potential is there for a good game.
This particular version on the Lynx isn't it. If you are looking for a handheld version to try out, the gameboy one (having no colour) is clearer and has more of the 'real' Paperboy experience (minus the bonus area, which this one has).
The strange slowdown in this version makes it not fun to play when you need some form of accuracy to get the points.
I still firmly believe there is a good Paperboy style game, maybe it hasn't been made yet. This is one of the ports to avoid though.

A solid version of Battlezone.
This is still fun to play. While it may be a little basic for some folk, it all works as expected and is fine to control on the handheld platform.

Almost unplayable football game.
This is incredibly slow and clunky. Much worse than the other football game on the platform (European Soccer Challenge). Avoid.
