My close followers know I have little love for that game...although I admit right away that I never played the arcade version. I just hated it on the Atari 8-bit machines...

like star wars with no yoke i would say. Paperboy is a great dedicated game, i can honestly feel the grips of the controller in my hands now as i write this, such a strong memory of one of my personal arcade classics, the controller really makes the game a superb game to play.
oh yeah, what's the game? i HATE waiting  ;)
just keeping an eye on things

Well that's another key for me, I never played Paperboy back in the 80's either. I'd sure love to try it.
You're right Polaris, I never thought SW was a brilliant game on the Atari 8-bit nor the ST. It was OK, but nothing you played for a long time.
Owning the cockpit with original vector monitor kind of changed my mind about that ;)

Bubble Bobble!!  ;D

No, it's from 1986 and probably had not a dedicated machine... :P

And, did it already happen?

I have a hunch that it hasn't anything to do with gaming, but still is very useful for gaming.  :lol:
