If I may digress a little...

I, too, have this weird obsession with demakes. The question is, which demake/port/conversion would cause only a minimal headache to a 7800 programmer? I would love to see Super Mario All-Stars...

I suppose that we can start by looking at games that are available on both the 7800 and NES and studying their similarities.

I'm surprised no one took up my challenge a few years back to take Desert Falcons source and make a Zaxxon port for the 7800. V

I'm still surprised no one took Centipede source and made Millipede.

Well hopefully the XM will spur more coders to try their hand on the 7800 both for XM and standard 7800 games

Nobody in this thread is talking about demakes. Demakes are reformulations of games into the gameplay tropes of a weaker platform, like Halo 2600. What is being discussed here is a straight port of Paperboy (which, as has already been pointed out to you, is an ATARI classic, not an NES classic).
