BDTZ - A Zombie themed Cannon Fodder game for the Amiga by Acneproduction [UPDATE]

If you remember the game Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, then take a look at how this game plays, it will bring back a little bit of nostalgia! Ok... So Cannon Fodder didn't have Zombies (Not that I remember) but the style of game play is very similar in this game called BDTZ by Acneproduction. A new Zombie themed Cannon Fodder game, which the developer has announced with a new and improved demo for the Commodore Amiga. 

Cannon Fodder (Sensible Software Game, Commodore Amiga, 1993)

It’s weird what makes the world go round. Everybody has different tastes. I suppose that is an essential element in life, otherwise we would inhabit a very sterile and dull place. For example I love rock music. I have done since I was young and for the last twenty-five years I have played in a variety of rock covers and tribute bands. But I hate the band ‘Kiss’ with a passion. In my view they are a band with an extraordinary talent for putting on a show and self-promotion, but underneath it all they have little to offer. Musically and lyrically their songs sound (to me) as if they have been written by a thirteen year old. I see them as THE ultimate example of style over substance. But still I have a number of friends that like them. Am I wrong? Are they wrong? Or we all simply entitled to our opinion?

Cannon Fodder - An all time classic ported to Amiga CD32

According to Earok the next Amiga CD32 port has been released and this one is sure to give some pretty intense memories from just the cover alone. It's none other than Cannon Fodder, an all time classic Action-Strategy Shoot 'em up developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin in 1993.

Undeadz! - Cannon Fodder and DayZ get mashed up in a new Zombie survival retro inspired game (Steam Greenlight)

If you remember the game Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, then take a look at how this game plays, it will bring back a little bit of nostalgia! Ok... So Cannon Fodder didn't have Zombies (Not that I remember) but the style of game play is very similar in this game UndeadZ, to that of the classic! Especially as you aim and shoot by using the mouse cursor, and see a little pixelated man moving about. But this isn't just any shooter either, oh no. As it's also similar to DayZ! As you can actually search the buildings, find items and even drive various vehicles, such as the lawnmower in the trailer. It just looks so damn awesome and it's even in that lovely pixelated retro style. As such the developers want your votes and I for one hope it's a Steam Greenlight Success!

Medal Wars : The First One - A Cannon Fodder style shooter with a sense of humor (kickstarter/demo)

Here comes Medal Wars, which is a new a project by Bluestargeneral, that's currently going through a kickstarter and on Steam Greenlight. This WW1 title aims to give you that little bit of a nostalgic taste of the old school retro game Cannon Fodder, but far more up to date with tons of cool features.  You take the role of a fresh recruit with your madman partner "buddy" in an isometric shooter game to save the inept Green Army from total destruction. Although it's a ton of fun, it's completely bonkers with a cartoonish design and plenty of humor. A game that should hopefully be a succesful kickstarter, but that's down to you!

Medal Wars - isometric shooter

Here comes a Cannon Fodder style shooter with enough humor to match, as it will keep you smiling through all the fast paced action Medal Wars can provide. In a world of war and epic battles, one man overcomes his fate to become the greatest soldier ever! ( Wonder how many times I've heard that :)
