I also found the Arcade game pretty tough. Somehow I made it to Sunday with maybe 1 or 2 subscribers left on the street. I remember that if you got to Sunday, the papers were twice as large. For the home version, I played the Sega Master System version via my Power Base Converter on my Sega Genesis. It was a remarkably close port of the Arcade graphically. It was only really missing the voice of the paperboy.
