Doesn't work on win7

I liked the game back in the day, though it hasn't aged well. I'd give it 4/5 stars IF IT WORKED on modern systems. Because it doesn't. Even though according to GOG the game is compatible with win7, it is not. There are two problems - the character not turning left when playing with a keyboard or a gamepad (I tried the 360 one) and downed enemies spinning looking ridiculous and totally breaking the immersion. While there is a hotfix on GOG and a patch on the forums adressing the first problem the result is far from satisfactory as the character does indeed start turning left but in a choppy way, about 2x times slower than he turns right. It's a rough hack job and not a fix, hardly makes the game playable. The second, enemy spinning, problem reported by many players on the forums remains unresolved and it is perhaps even more annoying as it happens ALL the time and ruins the game. The fact that even though these problems are described in detail on the forums GOG is still selling Postal as win7 compatible is ridiculous and disrespectful to the customer. tl;dr Don't buy if you have win7.
