Postal (computer game)

Postal is an ultraviolent and controversial computer game made by Running With Scissors and published by Ripcord Games in 1997. A trademark lawsuit was filed against Running With Scissors by the United States Postal Service, and dismissed six years later. The sequel, Postal², is perhaps better known than the original. Postal² possession, not just the sale, is forbidden in New Zealand.
