Paperboy is a 1985 action video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. The player takes the role of a paperboy who delivers a fictional newspaper called The Daily Sun to houses on a street while riding his bicycle. The arcade version featured bike handlebars as the controller.
The game was widely ported to home systems beginning in 1986, and was followed by the computer and console-exclusive sequel Paperboy 2 in 1991.
