Amiga - Cannon Fodder CD32 Movie

[@Outlander999]

watching the vid, with Richard Joseph happily playing the war, seems sadly strange to me now (he died in 2007). A big loss for the videogames' world, R.I.P. Richard.

[@V3ntilator]

Richard made so much great music. R.I.P.

[@Fearyourown]

Love this theme nice twinge of reggae and the video reminds me of a madness music video. Group of guys just pissing about. Brilliant!

[@MarcSola7]

The video clip was used for the 3DO, Amiga CD32 and the PC CD-Rom versions of the game. You learn something new everyday.

[@awii.neocities]

Not on PC from what I've played.

[@ianmcdonald3053]

This was the original video created for advertisement, apparently they had a £500 budget lol awesome game that i invested so much time, never did beat it but did manage to get Jools to a 4 star general lol you know how many different save game discs I had for this and everyone would corrupt lol this and championship manager were the greatest games for me on the Amiga, along with Sid Miers pirates and Civilisation! Fun times!

[@GuidoRubagotti79]

That’s what videogames should be about: having fun and not taking things too damn seriously…

[@davep7176]

amazing memories, thank you for upload

[@AwesomeRickyC]

Aha I've not seen this in years too :p

[@DLiberator78]

Thanks for uploading this vid, I had never seen the CD32 version as I had the Amiga version, this looks like a fun intro. Game makers had more fun in those days now it seems all too serious. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rlyehfinland]

Very happy to find this here. I've wanted to see this since the CD32 version came out.

[@CountryHouseGent]

I remember the controversy at the time over "war, never been so much fun" and "kill your brother with a gun, so much fun." If only they could've seen todays games. :-D

[@LCTesla]

And the rembrance poppy, ouch

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

I wonder how many drugs got consumed during the creation of the Video. I also wonder how they managed not to get sued by Nintendo or Disney.

someone watching in 2021?

[@stephenking1433]

to whoiscuriousgeorge - the biggest reason for commodore going bust wasn't the cd3 itself but the amount they had to pay in royalties to cad trak who owned the us rights only to some patent. So the cd32 wasn't allowed to be sold in the us & due to a leagnthy court case, because of the monies owed commodore werent allowed to import any of thier tech or software into the us after said court case

WAR !!! NEVER BEEN SOOO MUCH FUN !! CANNON FODDER IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER !!

[@CiotkaKlarysa]

That was amazing game and soundtrack.

[@derslangerman]

brings back memories of the good old days. first game i got for my a1200. got a free keyring of a bullet i still got with cannon fodder printed of it.

[@liteon911]

Yeah! Cannon fodder is a strike of genius! And it's a pioneer in violent games, and glorification of war.

[@christopheleclercq8406]

old good days

[@NeilusNihilus]

days good old. Agreed.

[@illegalquantity]

It was nice to see the C32 version intro but honestly the A500 version is better :)

[@mightymeowmixcat2370]

Stillwell86 So much better* then the original version!

[@colin2712]

Sadly the only way you could ever see this intro video on the CD32 version was if you had the FMV module installed on your system, without it you got the standard intro.

Games after the 90s are just shit. I just stick to the classics these days

[@Dessan01]

Lol ah give the Snes version a break, it was all I had at one point! No intro, but they did the best they could, least all the levels were in! From memory I think it had a slightly better ending than the Amiga version too -- which just basically plugged Sensible Soccer as your reward, for the 3 years you spent battling through the game (well I did anyway ;-)) The one huge upset was it had no proper save system (which the SNES was able to do) so you lost all your guys ranks. Laziness!

[@Gigas0101]

@Youlikeike the world is heartbroken as mario joins his squad on Bootcamp Hill.

[@HovisSteve]

@DyLucke - If you consider this video poor, then you - like me - must find the stuff that is broadcast on TV unbearable. This video is high-concept compared to some stuff now a'days. And not any shaky camera, hyper-kinetic editing, focus issues in sight. Bliss.

[@majin1988]

reminds me of Madness

[@AwesomeRickyC]

Just posted a higher quality version on my account. So check that out!!

[@zachthezombie]

cool

[@ncshuriken]

Hmmm, I definitely prefer the 2D animated sprite intro.

[@Dessan01]

Lol the one good thing about the CD32, sooped up Cannon Fodder YEAH!!! Though the improved Defender of the Crown rocked too - they just released it at the wrong time, no was it gona compete with the Playstation and Saturn. A year earlier it would have cleaned up the release market, and developed enough of a following to survive the console wars.

[@st3even]

@ton1q That's what I had :D good ol days man...miss it

[@Hollywood2129]

Russian studio GFI works on "Cannon Fodder 3" now. License has been granted by Codemasters.

THANK YOU VERY DAMN MUCH FOR POSTING THIS GREAT VIDEO Those were the days , killed so much time on this game :D

[@Dessan01]

I didn't know you knew him personally, are you in that video as well then? Yeah they are good, I used one of those to give up a few months back.

[@douggypledger]

well madness

[@ritchwaghorn6541]

How do you access this on the Amiga CD32? I have this game and its not the intro!

[@Gerardus1970]

You need the FMV add-on for the CD32 I believe.

[@M4R14NO94]

Actually this was Sensible Software, NOT Team17 (even though they're awesome. Worms FTW!)

[@tanalbi]

what means this intro? army guys playing to cannon fodder?

[@wrestletube1]

This is a promo I think. There is another CD32 video with the real thing.

[@Dessan01]

I don't think it was a matter of having the balls -- It wasn't possible to play any music with words, on the 16 bit consoles -- so 'War has never been so much fun' was definitely out. The pictures on the into of the original (not this CD32) didn't show anything particularly offensive, so I presume they were left out because they couldn't be rendered to a good enough quality on the SNES + Sega

[@Garloz]

Supousedly the new Ghostbusters game for the DS it's a bit similar to Cannon Fodder. Hopefuly it's true.

[@mintydog06]

So does this intro replace the Amiga 500 version which had the black and white pictures? The music and singing isnt as good in this version

[@LakoIsFun]

Yes only if you have the FMV addon if you don't you get the classic photo.

[@eddyp483]

Christian Slater did nothing to deserve that...

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

Ummmm It is the Music Video that was released to promote the first game it's not a movie.

[@THEsyntheticFresh]

this is real, from the game?

[@e3ovuziotica]

THEsyntheticFresh with FMV-module installed, yes. But not many of those were manufactured before Commodore went bust.

[@stephenking1433]

THEsyntheticFresh yes & no, if you has an fmv module & the cd32 you could view this intro, same if you had a pcbut it was a diff intro to the amiga & no intro for the snes

[@zachthezombie]

it was also on the Panasonic 3DO port of the game

Yes. The British did invent numberplates. And the developers were British.

@@NeilusNihilus Hi, thanks for the replie. Yes I know now they were British, I was unsure when I first watched the video first time round with Q plates. (which are only found on KIT cars.) These guys looked like they had the time of thier lives recording this.

@@snazy7777 yeah they did. The good ol' days where you could speak your mind without worrying.

[@Picnicl]

No offence but the standard Amiga version with still black and white photographs was better- that had a sense of poignany actually. This is just a load of the team larking around in the woods- almost makes you want to side with the tabloid hysteria over the game.

[@yeoltelly]

Slater haters.

[@maciek6470]

Isn't it too slow? It looks like 50Hz PAL Version for me

[@whoiscuriousgeorge]

The Amiga CD³² was a console dedicated to shovelware. Most of the games weretitles released for other Amigas with extraneous content shoehorned in, usually one or two game related videos, or FMV as we called it back then. The few games that did take advantage of the CD-ROM drive weren't terribly well executed, like Beneath A Steel Sky where the speech took too long to load and made the music drop in volume. All in all a missed opportunity, and a big part of why Commodore went bankrupt.

[@ikagura]

heh
