Retro Arcade Classic Paperboy Now Available for BlackBerry

Elite Systems have released Paperboy, the classic 80’s arcade game, for BlackBerry. The app supports 5 languages and is available for most non-touchscreen devices.

One of the big challenges for this game is going to be nailing the controls. I’ve played a lot of retro arcade games on BlackBerry and many of them fail in their attempt to make the game controls as easy as they were on the arcade platform. It’s also going to be interesting to see how the trackpad affects gaming on BlackBerry as well. Personally, I have only played a few games on the 9700, and I have to say, you don’t get as much control as with the trackball.

Check out Paperboy in App World. The game costs .99.
