Cannon Fodder
Description
Don't wait till you see the whites of their eyes...
Don't kid yourself it will be over by Christmas...
Don't try to shut out the screams...
And don't forget to wash your hands afterwards...
From a queue of some 360 "eager" conscripts waiting to go to war, a team of up to six will "volunteer" for each new mission. Encourage your soldiers to shoot anything that moves, throw grenades, fire bazookas, drive tanks, fly choppers, split up and do their own thing... and die... Guide your no-hoper's troop straight through deadly missions. And if you lose some of them? There's more where that came from...

- Five types of enemies including M-16 carrying grunts, snipers, copter commandos, jeep engineers and artillery hot shots
- Guide your motley crew over hill n' dale, through jungles, freezing cold wastelands and Africa-hot deserts, annihilating the enemy and blowing up buildings on the way

Cannon Fodder
Great old school combat game. Loved this game way back on the Amiga.

Pretty disappointing tbh
I used to play this back in the day etc etc. I'd bought this many years ago on GOG and it was pretty rough, then today I saw it was part of their "Good Old Games" thing where they make games fit for modern systems, so I re-downloaded it and kinda assumed they had revisited the game and made it, you know, fit for modern systems. This is not fit for modern systems. It runs, but the mouse response is just terrible and borderline unplayable. I've tried different dpi settings on my mouse but the lag/delay is the problem and it's just huge. Plus, I've found no menus at all, no resolution or anything and the game runs in a small box with black borders on every edge (not just the left and right cos 14:9, no, every edge). If you push "esc" in game, it just restarts the level. I don't even know how to quit the game without using Windows kill buttons. This review brings me no joy to type but I just kinda expected the game to be more usable. It certainly still is on the Amiga, very very poor here though. Disappointing especially with the "Good Old Game" tag on it. I expected more.

War's never been so much fun
Cannon Fodder is a fun-sized take on the times in the 70s-90s, when War(tm) was a fun time, you're the good guys putting down the bad guys. Don't get attached to your squaddies, for everyone is expendable and exend them you will as you work your way through various environments and hordes of enemies and your own carelessness.

Best DOS game
This is the best DOS game. Changing directories to install was a top tier memory.
