Cannon Fodder

I've always loved this game. From the moment I first played it from a demo CD more than 10 years ago I've been a fan. It's well worth the $5.99 price tag. This is a simple point-and-click action game originally from Westwood (The makers of such fine video games as The Legend of Kyrandia series and Command and Conquer). For those who are interested I've made a Dock Icon for the game which you can download at Deviant Art. Just search for Cannon Fodder.

This is a great game but something is wrong with sound in this version. I played this first on the Atari ST and then I think on win98 and it didn't sound this bad.

Sama gra jest naprawdę rewelacyjnie zrobiona, pamiętam ją z czasów gdy miałem Amigę 1200. Jeśli chodzi o kwestię techniczną to zdarzają się drobne problemy z dźwiękiem. Gra też potrafi się zawiesić w trakcie wczytywania (czarny ekran), pomaga wtedy restart gry (F1). Jedną gwiazdkę zabrałem z w/w błędy. Gierkę oczywiście polecam!

Po tylu latach od premiery dalej się nie nudzi.

I played this game on amiga as a kid. It was a great game then and its a great game now. I recently sad down to play pc gog version and cannot recommend it. The difference is sound effects and music. It's just straight up worse. Lack of the very catchy song at the beginning almost killed it for me. Also the cartoony characters are out of place. Second thing is design of the levels. I remembered them being unfair but some of them and just trail and error. Designed to waste your recruits and making you start from the beginning with new knowledge of the level gimmicks so you can handle later missions. So if you can get an amiga version and emulate it -go with that. Much better sound/music and save states saving you lots of time. Just don't abuse them too much because learning the levels and their gimmicks is part of the fun. ps. Don't listen to anyone who says higher rank=better soldier. Just like in real world higher rank just gives you fancier grave. Another layer of anti war message. Such a great game!
