Grey -This first person shooter preview for the C64/128 is certainly worth a look!

Throughout the years we’ve featured many different types of news stories such as games, scene demos and even music disks. Well here with another eye opening news story I think you’ll like, as if you have a Commodore 64/C128, then it might be worth checking out the latest update of the first person Doom like game called ‘Grey’; a new game which is being currently developed by Piotr Kozka and team, and will be released at some point in the near future. In light of this news, as always Saberman has done a video of the game in action.

Here is what the video description says about the game “Grey is an FPS in development. There are four levels to explore in this version. Some areas are available only upon collecting a required door key (doors requiring keys are marked with vertical stripes placed on neighbouring walls) or opening push-walls. The player is initially equipped with two weapons; a pistol and chainsaw, and is low on ammo and hp. The objective of every mission is to find exit – a green blinking map square. There are two distinct enemies; flying drones equipped with meelee attacks and walking, bipedal mechs, equipped with hit scan attacks”.

What’s new in version 6

• – more sophisticated levels with increasing difficulty level
