I remember playing it quite a couple of times at a friend's C64, not sure if it was released under the same name though.

I remember getting an A600 back in 1992 and picking up a copy of the Christmas edition of Amiga Format. It had a Christmassy version of Cannon Fodder on it called Canon Soccer. I played it more than the actual game 'cos it was soooo much fun! I dumped it onto the HDD and kept it for ages.

That's it! I'm gonna go and track it down!!!

play that to death every christmas... I remember when I got the coverdiscs for that on AF and loved it then as much as I do now....CF is the best game ever created.

Demos, modules and games of the seasonal variety are a must for me during this time. Xmas lemmings (cover disk versions) are a ritual for me...also really like to boot up Lotus II and Speedball II as they were both Christmas gifts given to me many moons ago.

Walker, Seek and Destroy, Killing game show and Hired guns.

Bloody classics! Played Walker the other week, still has that great fun factor despite the difficulty! Trainers can be justified sometimes i find

Walker is the game, that you enjoy correctly ONLY if you have 2mb chip RAM and very good and very strong amplifier

The cries of exploding soldiers running into your like madmen never gets old, that and the sound of metal hitting the ground from exploding vehicles oh yes!

Hungry Horace · 13 December 2010, 17:07

Holiday Lemmings.

Although Cannon Fodder and Mega Lo Mania both remind me of Christmas, they would both need a complete set of wintery levels to be truely xmasy

As suggest above though, i might play a bit of Robocod this year.

The Official Father Christmas C64

Collect the parts to Santa's sleigh and take them outside to be assembled, but avoid the pesky elves who will nick the parts off you and rehide them somewhere in your house! Brilliant!

Also, the music is like someone cheese-grating your brain as you play!

Cannon Soccer always reminds me of Christmas, they gave it away on a cool neon green disk with a Christmas issue of Amiga Format

Same, probably because I have the time now. I have finished my course for the year.

Going back to James Pond, I've just found myself rather impressed by the C64 version of the sequel. I even had to check it was genuine! Though 8-bit gaming was long behind me by then, I've got no recollection of it even receiving a port of the second game and it's certainly the first I've seen of it.

Good job, you little 8-bit you!

A fine topic on your part too, Bamiga. I've had a fun few minutes following related links on YouTube. Thank you.

gilgamesh · 07 January 2011, 18:58
