Plot[edit]
The game follows a man who has been evicted from his home. He believes that the United States Air Force is releasing poison gas in his town and only he is unaffected. He fights his way to the Air Force Base through various areas. During the progress of the game, a voice in the protagonist's head (voiced by Rick Hunter) can be heard taunting his victims.
After massacring the Air Force Base, he is then shown trying to massacre an elementary school, however, his weapons have no effect. He then has a mental breakdown and wakes up to find himself in a mental asylum. A doctor gives a report on the protagonist's mental state, suggesting that the stress of urban life may have caused him to 'go postal', over images of a hellish corridor, the protagonist curled up in the fetal position in his cell, a close-up of his face (albeit covered by bindings) and the door to his cell, Cell 593. The final remarks are: 'We may never know exactly what set him off, but rest assured we will have plenty of time to study him'.
After the credits, manic cackling can be heard, suggesting that the protagonist may have somehow escaped the asylum.
History[edit]Development[edit]
Postal was developed by Running with Scissors and published by Ripcord Games in 1997 for Windows and MacOS.[4]
Releases[edit]
In 2000 a Japanese version of Postal called Super Postal was released featuring Japanese voices and two exclusive levels, 'Tokyo' and 'Osaka'. These levels have not been released anywhere else, but circulate in the Postal community.

Postal: Special Delivery, an expansion to the original Postal, was released on August 28, 1998[5] and featured four new levels and various new characters and voices. One level, in particular, was set in a parody of Wal-Mart and began with the Dude's demon chastising the store for not selling Postal, which foreshadows the off-kilter humor seen in Postal 2.
A March 2001 re-release of the game, called Postal Plus, included the 'Special Delivery' add-on. It was ported to Linux by Loki Entertainment in the same year.
In 2002, Postal Plus (known as Postal: Classic and Uncut in Europe) bundled Postal and the Special Delivery expansion, with retail copies also including a demo for Postal 2.
Sequels[edit]
A sequel to the game, Postal 2, was released in 2003. Director Uwe Boll bought the movie rights for the series and produced a film of the same name.
Digital distribution re-release[edit]
Postal Plus was released on the digital distributorGOG.com in 2009 and a few years later on Steam. In 2013, it was updated with support for widescreen resolutions and modern hardware. The multiplayer component and level editor were removed, however. In 2015, it was updated with full Xbox 360 controller support.
Open source[edit]
In 2015, the developers announced that they will release the source code of the game 'if someone promises to port it to the Dreamcast'.[6] In June 2016 the developers gave the source code to a community developer who ported the game to Linux for the OpenPandorahandheld.[7][8]
On December 28, 2016, the source code was released on Bitbucket under the GPLv2.[2][9]
Remaster[edit]
A remaster of the game, Postal Redux, was released for Microsoft Windows on May 20, 2016. A PlayStation 4 port was announced, however, due to financial constraints, it was canceled, as announced in an official Running with Scissors podcast.[10] Plans have been made to port the game on Linux.

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that 'Overall, Postal is a title that breaks absolutely no new ground, but its tongue-in-cheek shooting action comes together to form a well-above-average shooter that adds to the genre.'[15]
Postal received mixed reviews from critics. GameRankings and Metacritic scores are respectively 57.00%[11] and 56/100.[12]GameSpot's Mark East gave the game a 6.6/10 score and commented: 'The lack of longevity in the single-player mode and the simplistic multiplayer options make Postal a moderately fun ride, at best.'[14]
In a retrospective, GamingOnLinux reviewer Hamish Paul Wilson gave the game 7/10, commenting that 'there is no denying that Postal has some faults even when compared to some of the other games that were released around the same time as it, and time has definitely not been very kind to the title itself. But the concepts that the game explores, the ideas being expressed, and much of their actual implementations are just so interesting and compelling that one can still actually look past many of these faults and see the hidden gem that lies underneath.'[20]
The reviewer from Pyramid #30 (March/April, 1998) stated that 'Many people have thought the premise for the game is sick. Well, it is. But, that's what makes it fun. There's no quest for secret, lost treasure. There's no time-clock ticking away as you try desperately to save the world. There's no alien spaceships or fantastical powers. There's just good old fashioned, psychotic violence - something that our mass media entertainment powers have been bringing us on prime time for years.'[21]
