Description: Paperboy is an arcade action game released in 1985. The player controls a paperboy as he delivers newspapers for The Daily Sun along a suburban street on his BMX bike. The player has to deliver a week of daily newspapers to subscribers, vandalize non-subscribers' homes, and avoid hazards. The arcade game featured bike handlebars as the controller which were very well received as a unique controller option, though the game's high level of difficulty was often criticized. The following year, Paperboy was ported to PCs and consoles, and a direct to home sequel, Paperboy 2, was released in 1991.
Description: Contra is a run and gun video game developed as a coin-op arcade game in 1986 and released in 1987.

Two commandos, Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of the Earth Marine Corp's Contra unit, are sent to the island to destroy the enemy forces and uncover the true nature of the alien entity controlling them.
