Video: The Paperboy Classic Game Postmortem

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/video-the-paperboy-classic-game-postmortem.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Last month at GDC 2019 veteran game maker John Salwitz (<em>Paperboy,&nbsp;</em><em>Rampart</em>, <em>Klax</em>) delivered a fantastic postmortem of Atari’s 1985 arcade classic&nbsp;<em>Paperboy</em>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Salwitz&nbsp;helped design&nbsp;<em>Paperboy,&nbsp;</em>and in the course of his hour-long talk he walked the audience through the&nbsp;development&nbsp;process that culminated in the creation of a modern classic.</p>
<p>He also shed light on what it was like to work at Atari in the ’80s, and dug into the nuts and bolts of everything from designing the&nbsp;<em>Paperboy&nbsp;</em>map screen to setting the arcade cabinets&nbsp;up for manufacturing and distribution.</p>
<p>It&nbsp;was a fantastic talk about the science and art of creating a classic, and now you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MREsJsRZqu0">watch the whole thing for free&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LHj7-kROoo">on the official GDC YouTube channel!</a></p>
