Riding a bike in America's heartland isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, it's downright lethal: dogs, burglars, cars and, would you believe it, ghosts conspire to make your delivery route as hazardous as possible. But the papers have to get through to the subscribers, and this version of the coin-op contains all the features of the original. Steer your bike past the hazards to avoid the sack!

Bonus points can be gained by smashing the windows of non-subscribers, and extra bales of tabloids are scattered around to help the unfortunate delivery boy. So don't freewheel, but pedal your heart out in this surburban epic!

I can't say I thought this game is much cop. The original was buckets of fun, and the Master System version is excellent. But it really doesn't work at all on this format - it needs colourful graphics, and the Gameboy, bless its little heart, just can't deliver that.

I don't like this - it's far too fiddly. You need to get your eyeballs out on stalks to work out who are subscribes and who aren't, especially with the ultra-blurry scrolling. Couple that with the rubbish bike controls and you've got a game that soon loses its appeal - even coin-op fans will be disappointed.
