There was also Wurmz!, a networked multiplayer version of Liero. Some history and binaries of various version as well as the source code can be found on this website [1]. [1] https://mental-reverb.com/wurmz.php

See also: LieroX/OpenLieroX

We played LieroX a lot at school as we could add a bunch of fun mods to it and it was networked. I think at the time, LieroX had just came out too, so it was fresh compared to Liero.

I 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.

liero is amazing even to this day. I love it as much as I love the antics of works 2? with the ninja rope shenanigans

Loved 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. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_(video_game)

There was a flash game called Tanks that looks a lot like Scorched Earth, AI was bugged in that it would purchase better weapons but never actually use them, tons of fun to play against others though.

Anyone remember Soldat?

> It takes the best from games like Liero, Worms, Quake and Counter-Strike and gives you fast action gameplay with tons of blood and flesh. Little ragdoll soldiers fight against each other on 2D battle arenas using a deadly military arsenal.

Also NiL ("NiL isn't Liero"), a re-imagination of the game running on Linux: http://web.archive.org/web/20001007120330/http://www.linuxwo...
