I really liked the arcade version. But part of that might have been due to the full-sized handlebar controller. Even in MAME, the controls never worked right without it.

You're right, the Arcade version is being considered far superior, I ran a poll some time ago with that result

 

Hm... What I was asking there already, but didn't get answered so far: How does the game play in MAT? Someone here must know that, no?

I always preferred the Amiga version. Great little game.

The arcade was sweet due to its unique controller.

 

I really dont mind the SMS version there are other versions out there that are better but this one is ok by me to play.

If I recall correctly, 64 version used the "vanishing border" trick and put the score and other info where the top/bottom border normally was.

Wow, lotsa support for Paperboy! Thanks for the 2nd/3rd/... opinions

Uihjah, Zapp64 rated it with 44% only

Which still is twice as good as Xevious.

Xevious was doomed to begin with, what was the point in porting such a stoneage Arcade to the C64 in 1987?

 

Making things worse, a little later the SEUCK was released and everyone and their grandma could create much better games than Xevious without knowing anything about programming
