I was wondering what are the differences between different platform versions of Cannon Fodder ? Wikipedia tells me that there are versions for 3DO, Acorn Archimedes, Amiga, Amiga CD32, Atari Jaguar, Atari ST, Game Boy Color, PC, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Super NES.
I've been only playing the Amiga version. I wonder how it compares to the other versions ? Only complaint of Amiga version I've got so far is the disk swapping and a bit long loading times (with A500 and a single disk drive) but that is no longer an issue since I use Winuae on a PC, it's much faster this way, no constant disk swapping. I was just thinking that would it be smarter to just obtain the dos version of CF or is Amiga version somehow superior ? |

I tried Genesis/MD version and its the same game just with gamepad controlls.
![]() It's not like Syndicate for Genesis/SNes where game was different. (different gfx) I believe that GameBoy Color is different. (never tried it) |

SNES version looks best, but it's got god awful joypad control, so I'd go for the Amiga version.

![]() Although I'd imagine the 3DO version was the best looking. |

The Atari Jaguar version is a nice port too. I hope they will improve the emulation someday.

Gameboy Color version:
[ Show youtube player ] Game menu loops forever & I can't start game. I can't test in on real Gameboy Color because rom of it is too big for my cart.

I thought it wasn't possible to emulate MPEG playback in WinUAE anyway? How can you see the movie in the CD³² version?

But you can rip the CD32 intro (Track 2) easily with the Isobuster. Then you can watch the ripped mpg with the VLC mediaplayer or something else. ![]() Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 13 April 2007 at 01:27. |
