Action Game Paperboy 2 for ZX Spectrum

Paperboy 2 is a classic action platformer game released in 1992, developed by Mindscape International Inc and Tengen Inc. The game offers a unique experience where players take on the role of either a Paperboy or Papergirl, tasked with delivering newspapers to subscribers' houses while navigating through various obstacles.

The gameplay involves maneuvering through neighborhoods filled with mansions, haunted houses, and numerous challenges such as gargoyles, ghosts, and sewer monsters. Players must deliver newspapers accurately to maintain subscribers, while also performing good deeds like stopping runaway prams to earn extra points.

Paperboy 2 features a structured level system with four "weeks" of seven days each. Successful deliveries can lead to regaining former subscribers, and players can participate in bonus round training courses that increase in difficulty each day. These courses provide additional challenges without the risk of losing a life.

The game concludes each day with a Daily Report, reviewing the player's performance. Successful completion of a week results in making headlines in the Daily Sun and earning a promotion. This engaging cycle of challenges and rewards keeps players motivated to improve their delivery skills.
