The Amiga version of Paperboy 2 is pretty much identical to the MS-DOS version, except that the scoring and newspaper count are displayed outside the play area (in the PC version they’re overlaid over the play area), and the water in the game is bluer. The game was first published by Mindscape in 1992.

Paperboy 2, PC
The sequel to the classic Atari arcade game, Paperboy, Paperboy 2 was developed by Manley & Associates and published by Mindscape in 1991 and only appeared on home systems (it did not find its way into arcades). The game is generally considered to be a bit of a failure overall, although it does have some good ideas in it.

Another Bible, Super Game Boy
Another Bible is the fourth game in the Megami Tensei ‘Last Bible‘ spin-off series and was originally released for the original Game Boy, in Japan only, in 1995.
