Postal 2 20th Anniversary-goldberg Now

POSTAL 2 was the brainchild of Mike “Vulpes” Abbot and Fred “C418” O’Connor, the co-founders of Running With Scissors. The game’s concept was born out of a desire to push the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in video games at the time. The first POSTAL game, released in 1997, was a modest success, but it was POSTAL 2 that truly put the series on the map.
