Cannon Fodder

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Cannon Fodder
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Panel Comp/Sensible Software/Virgin Interactive
RELEASED:         1994
TYPE:             Shooter
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Okay, men, here's the situation.  We're going to go to
                  war, but we need dolts who are willing to fight.  That's
                  right - you're the lucky volunteers.  Now go out there,
                  train your squad up to snuff, and blow away anything
                  that isn't us.  Got it?  Good - so get your ass in gear
                  and go!  Move it!  Move-it-move-it-move-it-go-go-go!

IMPRESSIONS:      A hilariously funny military shooter that had me in
                  stitches the first time I played it.  An almost faithful
                  port of the original from the almighty Amiga, except for
                  the sound.  I personally prefer this to General Chaos,
                  although there are others who would argue the other way
                  around.

This is an excellent game. You have to command an army which have some volunteers at the beginning and kill all enemy soldiers. When you start to win missions you will notice that the number of volunteers increases except soldiers of your army were killed. In some missions you will have some other objectives like destroy all enemy buildings, or protect civilians. Also you will command a jeep, a tank and a helicopter.
Excellent game.

A nice strategy+action game! Not just a beat-and-up game!

It a top-down approach, you control your group of solders to destory enemy base or clear an area. you can also seperate your solders for different action. In most of the time, you also need to think about how to use some vechiles to complete the rounds.

If you like both strategy game and action game, this would be your choice!

How do you throw grenades? I get to the snow level and I don't know how to blow up the houses.

What a funny/fun game. It's easy to understand and rather addictive. On a scale of 5 I'd give this game a 4.
