incognito_gpg et al:
Introversion even put a tribute to CF in one of the randomly selected intros for Darwinia. It plays the intro music from Cannon Fodder, and shows a message saying that the game is not endorsed by Sensible Software, which is a spoof of a similar message in CF itself which said they weren’t endorsed by the Royal British Legion. (Hassles with using that poppy again, I s’pose).

This (really fascinating, yup, especially for a game I never played, but…) has made me realise November 11 completely passed me by. So I guess I’m one of those people chatting through the two minutes (although I technically probably wasn’t up)
Still, I feel guilty for being the self-involved student that I am.
And so I should.

Does playing it on Gametap count for penance?

How is it “only” the control scheme? The Squad itself is the same as the troops in Cannon Fodder — moving around, saturating areas with gun fire and tossing in a few grenades when necessary.

There are certainly lots of things added on top, and the different environment makes things play a bit differently, but as soon as I started controlling the Squad I immediately had flashbacks of Cannon Fodder. Not that that’s bad, I played tons of CF..
