While REBOL's graphics capabilities are adequate for simple 2D displays,
writing a 1st person 3D shoot-em up type of game with dolby 5.1 quality
sound is probably going to require something more low-level [like C or
assembler]. ;)
On the other hand, using REBOL's draw, effects and sound facilities is
probaby sufficient for anything less demanding (a 3D chess program is well
within reach). The REBOL script library has a number of simple game
scripts (

which lets you see what can be done.
