You've just gone off the deep end, and in your deeply demented mind, you've decided that this little peaceful town no longer needs peace and quiet. You gather your arsenal as you plan your next move...

Postal

Postal is a 3D shooter with mainly isometric, but also some top-down levels featuring hand-painted backgrounds. Gameplay and interface are similar to first-person shooters of the time in most, but not on all counts:

Movement is always relative to the orientation of the player character ("The Postal Dude"). The player therefore must always be aware of the direction the character is facing, which can be difficult on the isometric maps.
There are eight weapon slots, each with a fixed amount of maximum ammo. The default weapon is a weak machine gun with unlimited ammo.

Postal (Beta)

This is the beta (version "Beta 1") of the 1997 game, Postal, developed by Running With Scissors.

It may or may not work for you. After a certain date (not long after the beta was released), every character on screen will catch on fire and die, and the game will lag out and probably crash. I'm fairly sure it's an intentional time limit on the software. Not sure if it can be worked around by changing the computer's date back a bit.
