| Postal | Running With Scissors / Ripcord Games | 1997 | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
In Postal, one takes over the role of a psychopath ("Postal
Dude") who represents the view that his peaceful mountain village urgently
needs action. Thus he puts on his black leather coat, and his sunglasses
and loads a shotgun. Let the carnage begin. His prey are neighbors (who
shoot back!), policemen, highschool bands and even Santa Claus. The
game runs in an isometric perspective. Indeed the figures are 3-dimensional,
but not very detailed and movement is somewhat pixilated. The scenery
is nicely drawn, and creates a certain comic atmosphere. The game has
been banned for its sadistic violence in a lot of countries, although
actually there is no "mutilation" shown, though victims do crawl around
wounded while bleeding on the ground and asking for mercy. (Review
by Enrique-Portuondo Ochoa) The game was unsuccessfully sued by the United States Postal Service for misappropriating the term "postal". In 2007, much-maligned director Uwe Boll made a movie adaptation which more closely followed the plot of Postal 2. It actually was faithful to some of that game's plot points unlike his previous adaptations of games like House Of The Dead and Alone In The Dark. Though it's his best-reviewed movie, that's not saying much. On Dec 20/2019, the game was made freeware. See also: #Postal MP: Special Delivery, #Postal: Redux |
