Anyone remember the game Liero?

[Crazy]

I recently rediscovered a game I used to play with my friends and particulary with my younger brother. I think the game was released in 1997 or 1998, so this must have been back in the late 90s. I had completely forgotten about the game. I'm sure there are plenty of you that have played this before, because it really has a lot of similarities to Worms It's not turn-based though! Here's a video:

I remember I'd use the laser every time, which is from what I can recall the strongest weapon in the game. If you haven't played this game before, get a friend over at your house and please give it a try! You can download it here: http://www.acid-play.com/download/liero

I don't know how popular this game used to be, and I'm curious -  is this a game well known to the community?

Was good fun for like 10 minutes.

This was the game worms was based off of, correct?  Reminds me of Soldat

I loved that game! Online real time is a total mess tho, but 1v1s is very fun!

Liero was massive in Finland and all my m8s played it.

Id suggest downloading "MoleZ" which is like Liero but with better graphics and better gameplay (imo).

liero was pretty cool, i never really liked soldat.  liero was fun for a little while but got old quick.  i ever remember playing a crude real time worms roping game that was probably the truest thing this community will ever have to real time worms.  forget the name though, this was probably 2000-2001'ish.

Oh yes, and also there's an old czech fan game which is similar to both Liero and Worms.
it's real-time. i also translated it into english
