This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Liquid War is a unique multiplayer wargame.

The whole point is that it uses unique rules and is not a clone of an existing 
game. 
Basically, you control an army of liquid and have to try and eat your 
opponents. It\'s a bit like playing real-time go with thousands of pawns. The 
game is definitely multiplayer oriented, even if a single-player mode is 
available. It has network support, but lag can be important when playing on 
Internet.

Liquid War relies on the Allegro game programming library, which is not GPL 
covered but is listed as Free Software on:
http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html#DescriptionsOfOtherNonGPLSoftware

Some ancient releases of Liquid War are non-free software but the game is 
GPL\'ed since 1999. To be honest, in these times I didn\'t really know about 
the GNU project 8-)

BTW, Allegro and Liquid War are both included in Debian.

The game is available for GNU/Linux - possibly any UNIX-like supported by 
Allegro in fact - , Windows and DOS.

Liquid War does exist:
