I have known and loved Liero since at least the early '00s, played it endlessly after Friday night dinner with my brothers and featured it on my high school era personal website. Glad to see it get the love and respect it deserves. We also used infinite reload speed, so that the most powerful weapons, which normally only fired one shot before reload, instead became super weapons that released like a stream of water continuously, a waterfall of big nukes, chiquita bombs, or sniper rifle shots which became a death beam. It was marvelous. Later on when imitation versions of the game were made with online play, a single game mode, castles with mortars, became the hit style. It was nice, because the game could be so many things, and the slow motion opera of flying through the air in mortar fire was quite something, but it also pared the game down to something so simple that it missed out on dozens of equally fascinating configurations every bit as radical and fun.
