Cannon folder nostalgia

[DrSpike]

Any cannon fodder memories? Perhaps the euphoria you felt when completing the hard one in mission 8, or the first time you manage to blow the door off the central building in 12-6.

Or the pain of losing Jools and Jops when you had spent countless hours trying to keep them alive till they reached the highest rank.

Or the fun in leaving your guy in a turret on auto whilst you went off for your tea, to come back an hour later and find he had like a billion kills.

Oh, and the theme tune.

Classic.

P.S Apolyton does not in any way condone going up to your brother and shooting him with your gun.

*chorus*

War..........

[child of Thor]

I always found the hill filling with crosses very poignant, even as at the same time i was happy to see the new recruits trundle over the hill ready for new adventure.......to become one more cross
Class from beginning to end

Great game, although I've just started -- mission 7, I believe.

[Asher]

I loved that game so much.

This and some capture the flag game.

Oh yeah...it gave a great "something" to the game

Just hearing the name, gives me some nice memories (Like the day I just bought Cannon Fodder, Cannon Fodder 2 was about to be released )

[DrSpike]

War has only been this much fun once before!

Bloody hard CF2, though I eventually battled through to the end.

[DrSpike]

How about the one in mission 18 where you run out of missiles in the chopper and have to entice the rival chopper to land so you can grenade it.......that was annoying.

Thinking about it... it would be nice, if they included such thing for Worms SP... well, something like that

Oh yeah... the first time I tried to drive around, with one of those vehicles... for some strange reason, my soldiers didn't survive (the one driving and those he drove into (and exploded near by ))

[DrSpike]

Yeah the vehicles exploding killing all your men could be very frsutrating.....especially since the game was a little buggy and sometimes the collision detection was.........erratic.

i sucked hugely at this game

[DrSpike]

Thanks for dropping in to share that memory

[RGBVideo]

I also sucked in this game. Got stuck in episode 5...

I have to bump this thread (Spike told me to )

So *bump*

I'm only doing this because it was such a wonderful game in every way. Even the mission titles were "Super Smashing Namtastic"

Does anyone have a favorite mission? My top three were:

1. Jeep Jump
2. My Beautiful Skidoo
3. Round and Round the Garden.

I just loved the silly driving over people aspect of these missions, the fact that you had to pile all your soldiers into one car and plummet over a cliff to win (?!?!) Madness.

And then the music when you won. I don't suppose anyone has this on mp3 ?
