Be warned that I'm only on the net twice a week, don't expect replies
from me which are ten minutes after you've sent the mail. Here's some
guidelines about sending me mail:
1.Make sure you put the title of the game you're asking about in the
subject. I've made a fair few FAQs, and it's a bit hard to work
things out sometimes.
2.If it's an FAQ, make sure that it's not already in the guide!!! If
it is, I'll do my best to ignore it.
If it's not in there, make sure that the details you provide
are, well, DETAILED, and not sketchy. Examples are "Hi need to know
how to get past this part, i'm in a room and stuck", I need to know
where you are, etc.
3.Ask nicely. So far, most people have, but if your mail goes along
the lines of "Hi, need code for B2, reply within the next hour
otherwise I'll bomb you" will not get you anywhere.
That's it. Sorry for being a pain, but it had to be said.

First it started off with the Tank Wars craze. A simple, yet extremely
fun way to blow your friends up. Then came along the release of the
very popular Worms. Turn based combat, using Worms and with hilarious
weapons? Sweet!
In 1998, Liero was made. While not well known, while not being leased
to a publisher, and while only being a small DOS game which people
could download off the net, got rid of the turn-based system and opted
for real-time combat.
And hell did it work. While only with support for two players, and no
internet/modem/LAN support, it's still a damn fine game for what,
380kb? www.mikrobitti.fi is the place to get this game from.
Like Worms, it's about you being a worm, and trying to kill the other
player in a confined area, full of dirt and rocks. There are plenty
of weapons, and "built in" to your worm is the ability to dig, jump
and use a ninja rope at your will.
There's also a strategical element needed to play Liero. In the vast
array of options, you can set loading times so that you either have
to wait for your weapon to reload after you've emptied it, or you
can have a full on slugfest where you don't have to reload at all.
The many weapons available range from the Minigun, a high-powered,
fast-firing gun, to the Mine, step on it and Ka-Boom!, to the
super Chiquita Bomb, think Banana Bomb with many more particles.
At the start of each round, you get to pick five, and only five
weapons to use. In game, however, there are the bonus crates.
Of course, being a DOS game, and only 380kb, the graphics aren't
too flash hot. But, the sounds are pretty good, with each explosion
sounding like...well, an explosion.
Other options include the ability to change colour of your worms,
change the blood value, number of lives etc. There are also a couple
of game modes: Kill'em All, Tag, Capture the Flag and Simple CTF. All
of these add up to the lastability of Liero.
Even though the graphics aren't that good, and there's only support
for two players on the same PC, it's a mighty fine effort for a DOS
game. For those of you who thought DOS was dead, well, the graphics
are, wake up and smell the aroma of worms burnt to a crisp. Now that's
gaming.

2)Weapon List
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bazooka
Type: Projectile
Fires a single missile, for moderate damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Nuke
Type: Bomb
This bomb rocks! Launch it, and then after a while, it will seperate
into many different parts, and then all of those parts will detonate.
Shoot it, and the missiles will arc away, then detonate and split into
more detonating parts. Annoying and really not that effective unless
you are suicidal.
-When picking weapons, you really want to have a good mix of bombs
and projectiles. Always pick the Minigun or Super Shotgun, they are
extremely effective. Some good combinations:
Minigun
Chiquita Bomb
Super Shotgun
Doomsday
Grasshopper
Minigun
Mini Rockets
Crackler
Grasshopper
Gauss Gun
And so on. Experiment!
-Don't forget the ever useful Ninja Rope (Hold down Change Weapon and
press Jump). It's very handy to get you out of any situation, where
there's somewhere to swing to.
-If you have reload times at 0, and lots of health, here's a way to
clear out plenty of land...Missiles! Since they can be remote-controlled,
you can terrorize your opponent while you're at it.
