When we talk about OG games that

are sure to induce nostalgia, the Atari

arcade game Paperboy is one that

comes up. Apple puts its own spin

on the 1985 hit with Warren Buffett’s

Paper Wizard. Gameplay-wise, it’s the

same as the classic platformer: all

you have to do is to toss newspapers

at doorsteps. What’s new is that this

version has been retrofitted with the

benefits of good modern technology

like 3D graphics.

The game also ties with Warren

Buffett’s humble beginnings. Did

you know that before the legendary

investor became an iconic billionaire,

he worked as a paperboy at 13

years old? The game lets you relive

Buffett’s childhood and test out

your paper-flinging skills as you

ride along the streets of Omaha,

Nebraska, and Cupertino, California

a.k.a. Apple’s hometown.

Warren Buffett’s Paper Wizard

also sets the record as the second

game Apple has developed since

Texas Hold’em, which was launched

in 2008.
