Postal and Penumbra series
When searching information about the incoming Postal 3, I realized most of the Postal games are not available in the database. The games I would like to add are:
- POSTAL: Classic and Uncut
- POSTAL 2: Share The Pain
- POSTAL 2: Apocalypse Weekend
- POSTAL 2: A Week in Paradise
- Eternal Damnation
The last two are mods developed by Resurrection-Studios. In the "Running With Scissors" store (http://www.postalgames.com), there are also two packs including all the games. Do you think they should be also included or is redundant?
When searching for examples of packs in the database, I found the "Penumbra: Collection", at the same time every game in the pack is also present, except "Requiem". If you think having all of them in the database is okay, I can also add this one, as I am playing it at the present. Please, note that "Overture" and "Black Plague" miss the developer information.
I will wait for your comments (or will interpret silence as consent) before starting the massive submitting of Postal games. Because, if my sources of information are updated, Postal 3 will be released for Linux and I am very happy with the support RWS gives us.
Of course, I do not play Postal... err... my cousin does.
if its an add-on like requiem
if its an add-on like requiem for the penumbra series, it should be mentioned in the description and not added separately.
if its a total conversion it should be added separately.
Postal 3 will be released for Linux

lets see...
POSTAL: Classic and Uncut
Ok
> The last two are mods developed by Resurrection-Studios.
If they run under Linux, it's ok to add them, just mention that they need original game to play in description (and add Total Conversion tag, if required).
> Do you think they should be also included or is redundant?
I think the packs (as separate entries) will be redundant. Instead, for every game that is available in pack you could mention it in the description/comment and provide additional link for that pack.
> When searching for examples of packs in the database, I found the "Penumbra: Collection"...
IMO, Collection should be replaced with Requiem, and then information/links about Collection should be mentioned for every game in series.
> Please, note that "Overture" and "Black Plague" miss the developer information.
Thanks, fixed.
> Postal 3 will be released for Linux
Yes, as far as I know devs had promised the Linux version. Let's hope that nothing goes wrong and it will be released.
Looks like sixsixfive decided
Looks like sixsixfive decided to replace Postal 2 Multiplayer with Postal 2 and mentioned Multiplayer and Apocalypse Weekend within the description.
Ok, it looks fine now. I
Ok, it looks fine now. I would only add two more links:
http://www.postalgames.com
as an addition or replacement for the official product page. The packs can easily be found from there.

is the Postal 2: Share The pain version distributed by LGP.
I agree with you, Collection should be replaced with Requiem. I consider another valid option removing "Overture" and "Black Plague" from the database. The full Collection is now the only available purchase in the official store.
