Today we play the Amiga game CANNON FODDER on the New Amiga, the Vampire V4 from Apollo.
The Apollo V4 Vampire is a new Amiga, its not an emulator. The Apollo Vampire has an real 68K processor, the 68080 CPU. It also has a real Amiga Chipset called the SUPER-AGA Amiga Chipset. The Apollo V4 is an engineers dream and its the Amiga that the original Amiga inventors always wanted to build.
Cannon Fodder Amiga game was released in 1993. The game runs fine on Amiga500 OCS.
Cannon fodder combines action of a shoot em up, with the cuddly cuteness of Lemmings, and has some dark humor.
I made it to level three in the game.. Level 1 and 2 I found pretty easy. In Level 3 there were some enemies strong point in cabins that I could not destroy. Can you give me a hint to solve this?
I have to say it shockingly funny to shooting all the soldier dead ... :-( The game makes war look nice and cute and lovely ... The game is really much fun but I feel bad that I enjoy a war game this much :(
I think the game is for adults. I think Kids should better not play it - its to much child play to shoot people here that you forget that this should not be done in real life.
What do you think?
Keep the Amiga running!
