Doom with Body Surfing.Genetic Species is a 1998 First-Person Shooter made by Amiga and one of the many, many Doom clone oversaturating the market back in the late 90s.The plot - or the lack of it - sees you as a Space Marine somewhere in the 2200s. Sent by the Counter Force Alliance (CFA) to a space outpost owned by Cantex, a major military company, to investigate illicit, genetic experimentations, you're unfortunately caught in an outbreak where assorted creatures runs amok and the base's security have been triggered to eliminate everyone.And yes, you can Body Surf into enemies in this one, thanks to a gadget called the "Portable Probe Device" obtainable halfway through.

 Genetic Species (Video Game) / int_16dcaea5
comment
Predator Pastiche: The Chameleon Soldier enemies are clad in cloaking armor looking remarkably like the Predator's, Visible Invisibility included, and attacks you while having stealth as their advantage. Shooting them will cause some Invisibility Flicker as well. Even the manual describes them as Predator-like.

comment
Captain Ersatz: Besides the fact that you're a blatant CE of the Doomguy, the enemies are obviously lifted from it's inspiration as well, albeit as machines instead of undead. Security soldiers are the equivalents to the Goomba-level zombiemen and shotgun guys, the average grunt that dies easily from your default weapon. Battle Cyborgs serves as the CE to Heavy Weapons Dude, a humanoid mook with higher armor rating and defenses, and armed with an automated gatling gun that shaves your health away if you're not careful. Then there's the blue-and-white Mechanoid, who looks like a scaled down Gundam

Chicken Walker: Bipedal mechas called "Wolfhead" in-game serves as the largest machine-based enemy, coming after you with it's two legs while firing turrets. The manual tells you to "throw grenades and run".

 Genetic Species (Video Game) / int_7b71edf4
comment
Going Critical: One stage ends with a Reactor Failure that requires you to flee to an exit within 20 seconds or die when the whole place blows, with a timer on the upper-left corner counting down. If you made it out, somehow the explosion doesn't affect the rest of the station - next stage plays out like normal.

Exploding Barrels: Just like in Doom, several areas contains propane tanks gathered together (helpfully marked by a "FLAMMABLE" symbol) that you can target. It's subsequent explosion clears an area of enemies faster.

Our Zombies Are Different: You'll be inexplicably attacked by zombies in the later stages. They're a lot tougher than undead-based enemies from other games of it's kind, and somehow can shoot energy projectiles from their hands.
