Another week, another Digital Eclipse makeover for a Midway arcade game, with Xbox Live Arcade set to welcome the arrival of '80s classic Paperboy tomorrow morning at 9am GMT.

Never played Paperboy? It's simple - players control a git on a bike, delivering newspapers while dodging obstacles. The idea is to deliver without damaging things, missing too many houses or smashing into dogs. Much.

There's a multiplayer mode on top of the original single-player, allowing for co-op on one console or over Xbox Live, and Digital Eclipse has given it one of their enhanced graphical and audio makeovers, too.

Paperboy will go on sale for 400 Microsoft points, with a playable demo also available. Look for it tomorrow.
