TIGSource: Open Liero (Beta)

Open Liero (Beta)

Derek Yu — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 04:01:00 +0000

Liero was created by Joosa Riekkinen in 1999 for DOS. Since then, there have been plenty of conversions and similar games made, but the original has never made the transition to Windows… UNTIL NOW. (I’ve always wanted to say that.)

Open Liero is technically not a real port of the original game, since the source code was lost many years ago. Rather, it’s a hack that allows you to play Liero in Windows (or Linux), in a window, with the sound support the original was missing. In order to run Open Liero, you must have the original Liero files in the same directory.

Open Liero is still in development, so it’s not fully featured, although it is fully playable. Most but not all of the existing total conversions are supported already.

Good news for Liero fans! (Thanks, basara!)

I have no problems running Liero in DOSBox, with sound and everything, if I just crank up the clock speed and maybe add 1-2 frameskip. And this is on an older computer (2GHz processor) in Win XP.

Oh god, i’ve prayed for this for sooooo long!!! Sweet! :D Anyway, DOSBox is kinda cool, but it sucks big time when it comes to running Liero! Just try it and you’ll see why

the original game lacked networking, which is a shame IMO as i frequently had cheap keyboard problems “what’s that? you want to hold down more than 3 keys at a time? BWAAAHAAHAAAA! NO KEYS FOR YOU CHEAP ASS!”

Well, bugger what the rest of you DOSBox fanboys think - I’m glad to see Liero get an XP/Linux conversion :)

Liero runs terribly slow for me in DosBox, even after changing the cpu clock settings you cant play with 0% loading times ;)

Liero is sweet and all… but why not just run it in DOSBox (which is already multi-platform)?
