Not just Finland, Liero was big in Estonia, too! I remember I got Liero on a floppy disk from a friend early 00's and ran it on my Win98. Good ol' days. Terep2 was another great game.
It was played in Norway too. My younger brothers played it a lot.

#62It's much deeper, both in mechanics and in lore, it has actual levels with progressions, but I was curious why did I enjoy that game so much. Turns out, I spent a ton of time playing its predecessors with my friends :)

#63Liero is part of the Finnish shareware game scene that lasted from early 90s to mid 00s [1]. These games are super nostalgic for me and a lot of other tech minded Finns of my age! [1] https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luettelo_suomalaisista_sharewa...

Liero dominated my high school computer lab in Sydney, Australia. Such great times. Still adore this game.

#67Fantastic game. One of my favorite multiplayer experiences, besides San Andreas, classic UT/Q3 and some Tron based lightcycle game that was basically fast 3d multiplayer snake.

#69I'm a fan of artillery games. I created Gravity Wars (based on previous art) - artillery in space where planets pull projectiles with gravity: https://github.com/whyboris/Gravity-Wars

Happy to see my own game “Oikeutta Eläimille” in this list. I made it in turbo pascal in about 1 week, uploaded it to a BBS and it started to spread. Then pretty soon I saw it mentioned on TV and that totally blew my 16 year old mind. I can make something and the world will react to what I make? Cool!
