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!

A rather insane, 3D, abstract, scrolling, shoot 'em up game.

A highly addicting game. I swear if you play long enough you will begin to see through the spinning track and shooting graphics!
