The Forsaken Lab 3D

A strange little side quest

The Forsaken Lab 3D belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. It also connects to a different milestone: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. That gives The Forsaken Lab 3D a little more company than it first appears to have.
