#2I loved playing Liero when I was a kid. One of the best patterns of play I had found and one of the few shooters where I was even remotely competitive with others. Super cool to see that it's still alive and that there is even a web version.

No, Liero is real-time as opposed to turn-based.

#6Loved playing Worms as a kid, not so much Liero. But before Worms, it was really Scorched Earth[0] that got me introduced to the genre. And with which I must have spent untold hours.

No, Liero is a real-time game somewhat inspired by Worms perhaps, but mostly by Molez. This has several versions, some of which are (reversed engineered) open source versions of the original game.

I loved Scorched Earth! Don’t know anyone else who ever played it.

No, but there is Hedgewars, which is an excellent open source clone of Worms:
