Anonymous	cool lab	x
Anonymous	On an objective level this isn't great - it's a "my workplace" level, modelled at a realistic scale, so you get stuck a lot. Gameplay involves switch-hunting in cramped rooms. But it's nostalgic, however, and there's a fair amount of action. Google suggests that the author eventually went on to graduate with an MD in aeronautical engineering, so perhaps this was Ohio University's engineering department.	x
Anonymous	Ugly, and cramped at the beginning. No aligned textures. A few interesting ideas though. ** -sargebaldy	x
