I think it is the best in the series.  I tried playing the arcade version of Paperboy on a MAME emulator once and I was absolutely terrible at it.  The arcade version has bike handles you use to steer the paperboy on the street and that control style certainly doesn't translate very well to a keyboard in my opinion.

Happens to me all the time on the crash course.    

It gets worse on middle way and hard way.
Specially when there is a car, a sewer hand, a skate boy and a mailbox on the same screen.
Or when there is a trash can, a hand, a mailbox and a pot on the same screen.
In that last case, you HAVE to aim for the mailbox. Otherwise your second throw will whiff and you won't get a perfect deliver that day, which is not acceptable.
 

And that's why you're the champ.    
 

I did improve nearly 5k. I can get to Friday. I am also not good at being in the right position to hit the hand. I am good at putting the papers in the mailboxes though.

Of course this has to get posted.

Richard is the champ, not me.  

 

The hands are very tricky to hit. You have to slow way down and throw a paper at it's second or third frame of animation.
Even then I only hit them 60% of the time.
Also, great new score.  

So do you bike in the street so you can hit the hand easier?

Nay. I ride on the sidewalk for the most part.
I just slow the hell down to try and hit it, or just avoid it when I think it would be too dangerous to try.
Tonight I will have video footage of that. I will make sure OBS will record the proper screen instead of a part of my desktop on my next attempt.  

 

I haven't had any luck on hitting the hands either. The annoying one for me so far is the one that can appear opposite the couple on the swing. I either run into the hand or crash on the incline.

I'm up to 35K now. I'll post a pic of my best on Friday.  

I don't have this game, so I'm out for this week. Good luck to all participants!

Usually when the hands appear I'm not in a position to hit them,only dodge.

And what's up with the wonky graphics? And why is the water grey in the obsticle course? It is sewage? Freshly poured concrete?

I'll cast my vote for freshly-poured concrete. It's the price you pay for being an insolent little paperboy who can't ride a bike!

 

Every time I crash, I have flashbacks and pain shoots through my body 😂

Yeah,I vote freshly poured concrete. Maybe we need a poll?  

I thought it was sand. I'm not sure what it is.
 

I vote for freshly poured concrete.  

"Paperboy Makes An Impression"  

That sounds exactly like one of the cheese one-liners they'd use in this game... hahahaha
