Paperboy 2 is the sequel to Paperboy. Initially released in arcades, it was ported to the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear in 1992 and 1993, respectively. The Game Gear version was exclusive to North America.

Gameplay

Paperboy 2 is much the same game as its predecessor, however it is now possible to both play as a papergirl and throw papers both left and right. Streets also have turns in them now, and it is possible to jump.
