Liero

Liero (1998)

by Joosa Riekkinen
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Liero is a simple game. Pick your five weapons, and unleash your inner fury. The game is always played one versus one on a map of your choice, and yes, you have to play with someone who is right next to you. To shoot is of course easy enough to figure out, but if you want to step up your game, you need to figure out things like how to swing yourself to safety with the ninja rope, to use timed weapons for area denial, to hunt without being hunted, to ambush, hit and run, and control that darn guided missile.Show more

This was introduced to me by a friend way back when. We played multiplayer occasionally, but I lost myself playing against the bot. There were tools that let you create your own weapons and to convert images to maps. You can still browse the fansites for all the custom content. I still have the file for an utterly broken weapon I created.
I remember having this game on my thumbdrive with sysadmin tools. I was skipping lectures at uni chilling with my friend who worked at a musical instruments store. We were loading Liero on some old PC they had there and playing it for hours.
