The player controls a peddler who distributes newspapers by bicycle along a residential road. The game is two-dimensional (2D), and the landscape appears from an isometric perspective. This perspective makes it possible to give an impression of depth, in particular, to a 2D game. The delivery man is located in the center of the screen, and the landscape scrolls diagonally as he advances down the street. The main objective of the game is to retain all its subscribers by delivering them a newspaper during a week of play (Monday to Sunday). The player must also avoid obstacles that come his way, since a collision results in the loss of a life point. Incidentally, the player also has the possibility of vandalizing the house of non-subscribers by breaking their window with a newspaper, or of throwing newspapers at obstacles. The player loses subscribers when he fails to deliver a newspaper to them, or when he vandalizes their house by mistake.
