Green Beret retro classic gets a 2016 PC remake footage tease!


You may or may not remember the name Langford Productions, but that developer was behind the previous enjoyable remakes such as Cookie, Pssst, Pyramid, Jumping Jack, Automania and The Hunch.

Sure enough, today we got the first tease for the Green Beret Remake, and so far it's looking pretty decent!
