I believe it would be very fun to do a score category. For instance score 25k or 40k points (whatever mods feel is right) as fast as possible. This would be fun and challenging. A whole new spin. Hitting everything in sight, using up your newspaper supply, figuring up what is best for high scores quickly and efficiently. Lots of strategy.
A few of us have had this idea for a while. We could also set something like this up in a Category Extension board if there is an interest. There is a similar category on the FC version of Paperboy, Ill post the link here.

Looking forward to hearing more input on the subject :)
I love the idea. I've never done score runs of this game but it seems like a nice way to introduce more replayability.
