Liero is an old classic that me and my friends would play for hours growing up. In Liero two worms fight each other to the death for frags. You get a choice of five weapons out of forty. Most of the terrain (besides rocks) can be dug out or blown up. In addition to his weapons each worm has a ninja rope which can be used to get to higher ground or to soar through the map faster. If you are a fan of old retro games then this is for you!

Despite what it looks like, Lugaru is not some cartoony game that is over the top with twisted violence. While the characters in the game are in fact rabbits, they are neither cute nor cartoony.
