GamingLives takes a look at the latest release from Excalibur Publishing, the simulator that puts you in control of a city's postal network.
"You can keep going, watching your income rise higher and higher, but there’s no real point to it. There’s no danger here, no sense that failure could happen at any time. It’s a game with no winners or losers, just a player and a computer both making lots of money. And while that’s fun for a little while, it’s not enough to keep you entertained for long. Simulator fans may find some fun to be had here, but for everyone else, it’s a relatively shallow experience disguised as a detailed simulation."
Postmaster places you in control of your very own Post Office. Simple on the surface and casual in its approach, Postmaster is less complex than most simulations, and yet it still delivers the experience that fans of the genre crave.
You begin the game with a small office space that eventually evolves into a full-fledged Post Office. But before that can happen, you must furnish your office with amenities such as vending machines and hire a full-time staff to assist with delivering mail. Your starting funds are fairly limited, so you must be picky about how you spend your money until you gain enough clientele.

Let’s face it. Postman Pat was *&%$, wasn't it? The boring, cock-nosed arse would tootle around Greendale in his stupid little van with his cat sat next to him – probably contravening all sorts of health and safety edicts from the Royal Mail – and get involved in everybody else’s business.
I was hoping this game was going to be a cracker. I hate to admit ,I still want to try it.
shame that someones put time and effort into making something that sounds as boring as this, maybe they are aiming for retired postmen?
