	Postal (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postal is an ultraviolent and controversial computer game made by Running With Scissors and published by Ripcord Games in 1997.
		The fictional protagonist of the games is the Postal Dude.
		Postal dudes mentality cannot be judged on his comments throughout the game alone as the player takes control of his physical activities.

	Postal 2 - PC Preview - Game Revolution
		Postal 2 will be a strictly first-person romp through a typical week in the combat boots of the Postal Dude as he "goes postal" on the fully-populated, free-roaming, fictional town of Paradise, Arizona.
		Especially entertaining targets are videogame protester nut-jobs (who suddenly storm the in-game RWS offices with an arsenal of automatic weapons), at least three distinct types of Taliban, overweight gibbering game geeks, and even the recognizable employees of Running With Scissors themselves, easily spotted by their fl, distinctive-logo T-shirts.
		Postal 2's slightly goofy body physics smack loudly of the rag-doll mechanics found in the recent Minority Report, particularly when foes are booted around with the player's Kick command (a last-ditch but satisfying attack when ammo for all other weapons is temporarily depleted).

	Pyramid: Pyramid Pick: Postal
		The game is presented in a 3-D third-person perspective.
		The game is controlled by either the keyboard or the mouse.
		You begin the game at your house, as you first decide that people are "sick." Carrying your assault rifle and a few Molotov cocktails, and donning your flannel hunting trenchcoat, you strike out into the world.

	Postal for PC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In Postal you're supposed to identify with the kid who gets his neural signals crossed and wastes his high school English class, or the divorcee desperado who takes out her philandering ex-hubby, his new gal pal, and oh, half the city block in the process.
		It is a striking game and the repetitive graphics of the cops, innocent bystanders, and blood spatters all stand out in stark contrast to the beautiful stage upon which they stupidly shoot, bleed and seep.
		Thus Postal rates a 64 for disappointing gameplay and general bad judgment in setting the game's focus on the shock value rather than on anything substantial or creative, and for wasting the obvious artistic talents of Postal's designers.

	Postal: Classic And Uncut PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
		I can understand why games and movies are given ratings, they deter certain age groups and help parents choose what their children can and can't watch or play, but in the end it all kind of backfires.
		This is why some will be drawn to Postal: Classic and Uncut; it's been banned in over 10 countries, sued by the post office and was condemned by the U.S. Senate and you'll inevitably be drawn to this game out of curiosity as to why it has achieved such a notorious set of accolades.
		Comparing Postal to the Exorcist is a bit unfair though, because while I may not have been quite that impressed with that cult horror movie, I did enjoy it; and enjoyment is something that is lacking here.

	Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend Review - GamersHell.com
		The objects and buildings in the game lack detail in some areas, but for the most part the game does its job on eye candy—you can still look up a dead girl’s skirt if that’s your sort of thing.
		While the game is short, it does have its moments, which easily make up for it.
		The creativity of the levels and scenarios is ingenious; though the plot may be a bit thin, it doesn’t matter since the game doesn’t revolve around a story.

		Now there's a new computer game called "Postal" and the players score when the man with the automatic rifle or the flamethrower - take your pick - mows down as many small-town residents and pollice officers as possible.
		To depict postal workers as violent terrorists employees is unfair," said Ken Kelble, president of the largest New Hampshire local of the Americal Postal Workers Union.
		However, the designer and producer of the new game insist "Postal" was not intended to ahrm postal workers.

	The Adrenaline Vault Review of Postal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Thanks to a rash of United States Postal employees going completely bananas and taking to their respective workplaces with shotguns and automatic weapons, the term has become a colorful euphemism for losing one's mind and going on a homicidal rampage.
		Despite its flaws, Postal is kind of fun, simply because it's a blast blowing everyone to bits while they scream and cry for mercy.
		Postal's difficulty level is completely adjustable, but even when set on normal the game is impossibly difficult, simply because you can't save a game in mid-level.

	It's Just a Game!
		The indignant gaming community however wanted to know how they connect the killings to the video game (and which video game, for that matter) and ask if there aren't any other dark forces or disturbing problems in the lives of the boys.
		While strategy games, puzzles, board games, mystery adventures, and so on do explore other methods of problem solving, about 3 to 5 percent of computer games are just pure violence.
		The gaming community is just as outraged at the mud slinging at computer games and are vitriolic and derisive in their counterattack on what they think is a supremely unintelligent set of objections.

	:: Postal Network - Postal > F.A.Q. ::
		POSTAL is the original classic game, released in 1997, and POSTAL PLUS is the classic version bundled with the add-on (Special Delivery).
		One thing to note is that Postal always searches your hard drive first for a INI file before looking for the one on the CD.
		Once you create an INI file on your hard drive, if you were to install, let's say the Postal Add-on pack (when it is available), it would still be reading the INI file from your hard drive and therefore you might not be able to access the new levels.

	Postal 2 Review - GamersHell.com
		The original Postal starred the Postal Dude, who is well, basically a dude that went postal and decided to terrorize the 'hood.
		Almost all the objects in the game indeed look realistic and you don't have to spend any time trying to figure out “what the heck this is” (and even if it's not related to graphics, most of them can be manipulated, in ways such as being moved and kicked around).
		One of the other 'fun' characters that you can meet in the game is the kid Gary Coleman, who actually gives you his autograph after which he starts throwing grenades at the cops that come to arrest him.

	Action Vault - Postal 2 Design Interview
		This was the fundamental premise underlying Postal, a controversial isometric shooter released in 1997 by Arizona-based developer Running With Scissors.
		We wanted to expand the arcade-style gameplay of the first Postal while getting more of a reality simulator happening with an emphasis on letting the players decide how they want to behave within it, and making it able to respond accordingly.
		Be warned, Postal 2 is not your typical "hallway, room, hallway, find the blue key, fight boss, hallway, find the red key, lead you by the nose, linear FPS" gameplay.

		Also going into the public library in the game and the tree-hugging hippies are protesting the death of trees.
		Postal 2’s graphics are based on an older version of the Unreal engine.
		The animations are fun, particularly the effect of urinating on some one or the scene where you get a nice shot of their head flying off after you hit them with a shovel.

	Action Vault - Postal 2 AI Interview
		PC games to me are usually more interesting when it comes to AI because often times they are slightly slower-paced games and require more thought.
		In most games most characters are enemies and all will do their best to get you and attack you in more or less the same fashion.
		Or rather, most games limit the number of things a character can do with a gun, thus making most enemy encounters from game to game feel the same.

	Computer Game Letters
		OK, there is a game system in there that meshes well (rather like the way Empire simply 'works') but the games are so basic and Risk-like that I wonder quite where they have got their reputation.
		The space exploration games look like they were devised by Carl Sagan with "billllliyuns and billllliyuns of bee-yings on multi-toodinous plan-etts" and the dungeon master clones probably have more detail in them than the whole range of Forgotten Realms RPG adventures available in paper format.
		A computer game which puts you in command as opposed to you in the trenches will be a success in my household.

	Postal for Windows - MobyGames
		Postal is best described as an three-quarter view isometric shooter with a disturbing theme.
		Instead of shooting at demons and monsters and bad guys and terrorists, your targets are typical citizens like high school marching band, ordinary pedestrians, and even Santa Claus, and you have plenty of arsenal at hand, from good old fashioned guns to flame throwers.
		This game received a lot of free publicity since it was released at the height of the media's crusades on violence in gaming.

		His name and the name of the game came from the phrase 'to go postal' which was coined after a few separate cases of postal workers flipping out and gunning down their colleagues at work, embedded themselves into the public conscious.
		What sold the game so much, is the media circus looking for another game to brandish evil, after their previous target, the original Grand Theft Auto made them look silly by actually being a great fun game it was hard for anyone who played it to take seriously.
		Running with Scissors must have clapped their hands with joy every time someone condemned their game, knowing that however offensive they were deemed to be, they always had the first amendment to ensure that in America at least, the game was kept available.
