+NiL is a remake of a little-known title called Liero, a freeware game that runs
+on DOS. The creator, designer, and all-round good guy behind NiL, Flemming
+Fransden, had stumbled across Liero at a demo-party in the former East Germany.
+When the author of Liero was apparently uninterested in making the source code
+available or porting it to other platforms, Flemming set about reimplementing
+Liero from the ground up -- under the catchy name NiL.
+
+NiL takes place far underground where players are personified as cute little
+blue worms. But, don't let the game's seemingly innocent appearance fool you.
+Using worms armed to the teeth with weaponry normally reserved for first-person
+shooters, NiL combines the best features of the Quake series of online gaming
+with the comical traits of Worms. Together, this allows for a lively and
+dynamic environment where you can tunnel and blast your way around the screen,
+creating your own escape routes from the surrounding mayhem. NiL also sports
+the right price -- free.
