War's never been so much fun! Let's play Cannon Fodder [Blind]!

Hi.

So after hearing about this game Cannon Fodder, I decided to download it. From my understanding, it's your basic top down shooter. You control 1-8 soldiers and do top-down-y things. The twist is that each soldier has a name, they die quite easily, and after the mission, you actually see their gravestones, and as more of your soldiers die the number of gravestones accumulates. Oh, and it has a ridiculously catchy theme song. I mean, Christ, it's been stuck in my head for hours.

I'm playing the Sega version of this game. I've never played this before, and I'm not good at top-down shooters, so this should be interesting. Come on, you sons of bitches! You wanna live forever?

Oh, and there's a SPECIAL FEATURE -gasp-.

Each squad member comes with their own name, but I can rename characters (in the text of the liveblog, not in the game). So if you want me to "rename" a squad member after you so you can see how long you can survive, shoot me a comment below.

I'm starting this tomorrow. No takers?

I would like to have the honor of being your armies first casualty!

Where did you get this game? Emulator?

gentlemanorcus

Emulation, yeah.
