LAB - Free FPS inspired by retro classics!

To be honest I'm not a fan of modern day first person shooters, such as Battlefield 4 or Call of Duty, but I really enjoyed those retro types such as Wolfenstein, Blake Stone and the classic Doom. So it came as a surprise to us to learn of a new free first person shooter, that is inspired by those classics but has you escaping a LAB, fighting your way through a pack of mutants who react aggressively to anything that moves or doesn't. This is ' LAB ', developed by mutantleg, which is available to play online in your browser!

Game Type : FPS
Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl 
Further Info  : A game that I've personally never heard of until today, and didn't have the pleasure of playing when I had my Amiga was Genetic Species. A title developed by a rather unknown company Marble Eyes in 1992, which had you shooting enemies in a 3D action environment with texture mapping speeds never before seen on any Amiga entertainment title! It also needed a rather high end AGA Amiga with an 020 CPU, a minimum of 2mb Chip and 8Mb Fast Memory, a Hard Drive and a 2 x Speed CDRom Drive. But with the aid of such emulators like WinUAE or The Company you can play it at full speed in all it's 3D glory today, I mean just check out the intro at the start. If you loved Doom or Wolfenstein then this game will be right up your fps alley!
