Great article, thanks!  Here on this side of the pond I'd never heard of Cannon Fodder until only a year or so ago, not that I've given it that much effort but I still can't get past level 5.  Level 19 sounds like torture, haha!  :)

Best Amiga game ever and you'd not even heard of it until recently?
 
How can I put this... hmm...
 
OMFG! :D

The Commodore and Amiga market was completely different in North America in the '80s and early '90s. Just like I'll never understand you Europeans fondness for tape drives (never seen one), SCART (never seen it), or soccer, LOL. :mickeymouse:

More likely distracted by the SSI Gold Box series RPG's.  Or lemme see... that was when I was in high school?  Probably distracted by girls.  Yup, that's the answer I'm going to go with.  Girls.  :banana:

Actually I didn't even own a PC until 2003. Was all Amiga, all the time, prior to that. Then all of my Amiga hard drives crashed simultaneously and I walked away from the darn things for almost 10 years, LOL. :destroy:
 
I had very few Amiga owning friends however and never saw an ad for Cannon Fodder in Amiga World, and that was my main source of Amiga news until I got on the Internet back in '95 (and mostly just hung out in comp.sys.amiga.hardware). Did they not advertise state-side or was I just oblivious for all these years? :p
