The POSTAL Game You Never Played

A titanic thank you to everyone that lent their time and voices to this video!
This game is begging to be remade in Hotline Miami.
There is an unverified claim that the original version uses an image of The Postal Dude from the Movie as a head sprite, but I couldn’t find it.

Thanks for covering this! Might not be well known but it's still part of our history ;)

[@GeoffreyBronson]

glad to see that you regret nothing!

[@user-ou5no8iw2o]

Maybe someday you will do a remake or remaster of this game or Postal Babes :} Thank you for you're awsome games RWS !!!

[@nathanleapyr]

how about an remake?

[@dani-mb8ct]

love ur vids, im really interested though, what engine did you use to make the game postal 2? EDIT: after a bit of digging i guess unreal engine, but please correct me if im wrong

[@Pikacat98]

I hope we see more of Java dude from you guys! He has so much potential. : D

[@GianniMatragrano]

Thanks for havin me on! The video came out great and you're a real gent to work with.

[@Pikacat98]

You did a great job voicing Java dude! I feel like you could even be the official voice actor for him. : D

[@Thatdarnraven]

Gianni im embarrassed to say anthro heat was the first thing I saw you in

Ah Gianni you’re always a treat to listen to when I hear your voice acting.

[@FazerGS]

I've done work with sprite art in videos before, and i can't imagine how tough it must have been to have a mobile game scale to fullscreen so seamlessly. The floating dialogue boxes and voice acting is the icing on the cake. Bravo for the presentation. This was a really well done way of introducing the game to people like me who had never heard about it before.

[@ABuffWizard]

It was hellish, thanks for noticing!

[@theshadow634]

I cannot believe you got Vince and Mike in on this, hot damn dude

[@KeshaFilm]

It's not a big problem, lol.

[@GreatFox42]

@@KeshaFilm Still super ultra neat regardless. Not every day or every dev you can do that with.

[@mothermaxyne]

didn’t realize a postal side scroller could have such a strangely heavy storyline - i dig this a lot.

[@arcticmonke7661]

Rights it’s so crazy. I’m sort of disappointed by the ending but i guess it’s on par with postal guy

[@khheroxasoraypowell]

while noncanon if it had been canon it would explain why dude has no house and lives in a trailer plus missing the chance to become famous and get a new house thus needing to sell most his lot and have a trailer

[@maxtori2252]

The voice actor of the postal dude is surprisingly fits to him well, i like it! I like how well the video is, u even have the rws owners for voicing in one of the dialogues. Nicely done man. :D

[@stevewillows2390]

I believe that is john st jon, the duke nukem voice actor

[@UnknownCleric2420]

@@stevewillows2390 Nope, it's actually Gianni Martagrano, AKA Gabriel Ultrakill, AKA the guy who does all the boomer shooter memes. :.p

Always wanted RWS to rerelease these games on pc on a mini collection and include a gallery for the artwork like the capcom collections just for preservation sake, I would prefer to pay them to play rather than downloading random jar files from a sketchy Russian website.

[@SpaceHunter42]

Your profile picture… I’m getting that DS feeling.

[@Chair_Gaming]

If you are talking about RuTracker, then don't worry. Its possibly the best piracy website in Russia. Its moderated, so all files there are virus-free

[@GreatFox42]

The old mobile java games are almost universally endangered. Would be nice to see even more preserved.

[@KeshaFilm]

I would like to add some info: - There also was a beta version, with a different Dude's picture, lack of tutorial, and more explicit language. - Russian translation is a bit different in some scenes. For example, when Dude realised his home got burned, he mentions his collection of empty beer cans, not action figures/videos. - Touchscreen version is the most buggiest one.

[@ABuffWizard]

I tried to find a version or images of the old dude picture, but had no luck. Relieved to known it’s real at least.

[@KeshaFilm]

@@ABuffWizard Eh, you were able to ask me, because I have that version. :D

[@aaronfpokemon]

That's the start and end of my voice acting career.😅 Another amazing video. Really enjoyed the music!

[@buzzcutinteractive]

as a mf who owns an action figure collection I feel for dude tbh

[@Soggz4]

Holy shit, ManyKudos cameo! didn't expect to hear him in a postal video at 3 am, but it's a really nice surprise.

[@MychaelsWorld]

Would've imagined that the Postal Babes game is hard to find these days.

[@sacrificiallamb4568]

I think it is.

[@jcdenton6427]

Piss easy if you know where to look. There's 2 versions of it, one has these babes naked

[@armyboylive]

[@heartware4616]

Gianni kills it as always. Also neat to hear Mike and Vince thrown in as VAs - stellar video!

[@Yash-wm4wk]

Gianni does such a good job as the postal dude, he really fits this version of postal dude Kinda wish he was a voice choice in postal 4, he really nails the 1st game variant of postal dude Also this is a cool game, never knew it existed looks like something what would fit in a gameboy advance lol "postal advance"

[@BurningFishGaming]

Glad to be of service! Amazing production as always. What a cool, little game!

[@kankeydong2500]

Holy shit, you actually got Vince fucking Desi and Mike J to voice characters in your video. That's one hell of a flex, dude.

[@iamvenomancer]

i really waited for someone to actually make a deep dive into this game, thanks!!

[@wsnt]

I remember playing this on my boost mobile phone as a kid, along with "Postal Babes" it ran on Java software and at that type I had NO idea what the Postal game series was. Great video!

[@piorouvintedovaldir]

Is that Gianni on postal dude's voice?

[@zaiden_2006]

yeah

[@marcodragon4995]

Interesting how this game handles its story. It's not grimdark like Postal 1, but it's much more toned-down and down-to-earth compared to 2. It has plenty of moments of black comedy but doesn't run wild with it. It kinda reminds me of a GTA game in that respect

[@wadmodderschalton5763]

I wish see someone try and remake this mobile game in Postal 2 and with more weapons.

[@mmd489]

you are best as always. respect.

[@mateolachone8841]

[@Bush_Dog777]

Man DOOM RPG was my jam!!! Also Gravity Defied!!

[@justletmelistthese]

meh, I still like the pyschotic feverdream with the side of "maybe demons are real and earth does need to be fed" of the first game over the later "applying cloride to clownworld genepool".

[@antipsychotic451]

absolutely true and real

[@NemesisTWarlock]

Whoever is doing the Dude's voice is awfully close to the mark.

[@Kaitri]

Honestly for a mobile game this looks dope.

[@batorstudio_07]

I just realized Wizard changed the thumbnail The older version had the dude holding the phone and the text in green. This is quite the bruh moment Edit: there was NO text on the old one but the phones inside was green

[@masteredultrainstinctlucar1239]

And the what you said about Java in the beginning counts as a burn for the Nokia N-gage! Especially since you showed it.

[@alternatejamey4050]

This oddly feels like Postal for the Gameboy Advance

[@BitestheStuff]

This is the kind of Postal Demake I can get behind. Wish we could get a remastered version, or a new game in a similar vein with the same 2D graphics.

[@diamond_psina558]

It would be so funny if this game was actually sold on the back of some magazine in the 2000s, where you send an paid SMS in order to get the game. I don't know if this was common in western countries like the USA, but in countries like Poland it was.

Old mobiles really do make good games like this. Back when there weren't micro transactions, and trash pile of shovelware games. Also zero ads. I mean these phones made God Of War Betrayal and DOOM RPG. That's how awesome mobile games used to be.
