Fifteen minutes of Easy Street and I was happy enough. Found out my girlfriend's brother could beat Hard Way. The game had changed. It was fucking ON. Our rivalry has spanned nearly three years, on and off, toppling the king of the leaderboard by a good margin during our friendly competition. I can relate, man. Nice read!

That is until I got killed hundred times and had to keep restarting levels. Wished Paperboy had a slingshot or something for that fucking dog that runs out!

I'm almost positive we've talked about this on 3BD. I had to have mentioned "Paperboy Retires in Glory" as one of the all-time worst video game endings. I can't believe you don't remember playing it in the arcade. The joystick was bike handlebars! How can you forget that? God help you if you find out another friend beat one of the harder versions.
