Cannon Fodder was a good article, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Delisted version: March 10, 2006 |
What exactly is the sci-fi background of the second game's tagline?
- actually, its the second game, not the tagline. However, I agree that part was not that well-written, so I've added a few more details. \ wolfenSilva / 08:44, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
what about the festive fodder and the x-mas edition?

[edit] CF / Darwinia
I can't really see much similarity to Darwinia except from that both games feature squads... Darwinia has other features like commandable engineers, and Darwinian officers that makes it more comparable to some other game (exactly which I cannot say). Basically what I mean is that CF is centered on the squad (making it a "squad-based" game?) whereas Darwinia really is not just that. That being said, I've only played the the demo version of Darwinia. {Cyborg 12:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)}
[edit] Plot of CF2 & AP cover
The plot of CF2 was not included with the final game, which is why some of it seemed random. Stuart Campbell, designer of all the levels, explains all here. Someone might like to paraphrase for this article.
Also, one of the issues of Amiga Power originally had the poppy on the front cover as they were previewing/reviewing one of the games. The original cover appeared in national newspapers and the British Legion complained, so they had to change the cover at the last minute which delayed the magazine release. This should also be included in the article if someone can get a hold of the AP in which the story is told.

[edit] Cannon Fodder Soccer
Sensible also wrote Sensible Soccer on the Amiga. For Xmas magazine coverdisks in the UK, they wrote a Soccer crossbreed game. Further details for this page would be useful. Burns flipper 08:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cannon Fodder Music Video
Though segments of the video were featured on a short retrospective TV feature...it's unsure where else it's appeared.
A video which matches that description is floating around on the eDonkey network, named as the intro movie for the CD32 version of the game.
[edit] Other Platforms
Even though the Mega Drive port is mentioned in the main article, it isn't listed on the side. There was also a version for Commodore's short-lived CD32 system, as well as Nintendo's SNES. Neither of the handheld platforms are listed, either, although they could be technically classed as new games, due to the great number of differences between them and all other versions.
[edit] Removed from GA
I've removed this from the list of good articles due to a lack of references. Pagrashtak 05:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Similarly, I'm only giving this a Start-class precisely because of the piles of unsourced info. Nifboy 06:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Music
The version of the music track is more complete than the one that appeared on the 16-bit versions and was recorded professionally. In fact, the menu screen track is also a pared down version of a proper song, featuring studio-standard vocals.
This makes no sense - if I'm reading it right then it's saying that the song was recorded professionally then translated into a computer music file, but it's saying it twice. Cpc464 11:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
