The Distracted Gamer

I know I’ve not been posting lately, distracted and all that, but I saw this in FeedDemon & I just had to post it.   gog.com has added Cannon Fodder to its catalogue.  This is a classic strategy/shooter game, I spent hours playing this as a kid and it’s definitely going on my to-get list.

Cannon Fodder is an isometric point-and-click shooter with a touch of strategy. Each mission you’re given a handful of freshly drafted soldiers, a list of objectives from kill all enemies to kidnap the enemy leader and need to fight your way through impossible odds. Your troops gain ranks as you progress through the game (if they survive the mission, which is a big if) and each has a unique name and is given his own gravestone if he runs out of luck on the battlefield. Cannon Fodder is all about fun, quick wits, sharp reflexes and pure blind luck. So get your copy today, make sure the boys do their duty and get back home in as few pieces as possible!

It’s only a 20MB download and at US$5.99 (~ AUD$8.50) it’s well worth it for the crazy fun that this game is.
