It was written and created by Israelis Benny Davidovich & Makh-Shevet Ltd., and published by Sir-Tech. The player is a delirious grandmother who tries to save her family.

Granny then seeks to defeat the Great Rabbit, rescue her family and retrieve her cookbook.

Reception

The website Game Revolution rated the game an overall 3.5 out of a possible 5.

While Computer Gaming World's Barry Brenesal enjoyed the graphics in Armed & Delirious, he found its characters "despicable", its comedy lacking and its puzzles "obtuse". Colin Williamson concurred in PC Gamer US, praising the graphics and lambasting the puzzles: he argued that the game "looks and plays like it was designed by a malicious Marcel Duchamp." Conversely, Tim Royal of Computer Games Strategy Plus offered the game a positive review. He wrote, "For those folks decrying that the commercialization of gaming has destroyed ingenuity and creativity, this oasis is definitely not a mirage."
