Paperboy 2 is an isometric action game developed by Tengen and published by Mindscape for the NES, the sequel to the 1985 arcade Paperboy. Players ride a bike delivering newspapers to subscribers while damaging non-subscribers’ homes and dodging cars, dogs, and stranger hazards — now with houses on both sides of the street, a selectable papergirl, and a BMX test course each day.
