Cannon Fodder 2, a comedic top-down squad-based action shooter filled with tiny soldiers, wickedly designed maps, and tons of humor, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99

Sir! Permission to deliver a mission status report, sir! Private Richards, the last surviving operative of the Delta Four squad. We've encountered heavy resistance, sir! Corporal Brown forgot to turn on his oxygen mask as we landed on the alien planet. He turned blue, sir, and then he stopped moving. We managed to force our way through the first two phases of the mission, reaching the high ground without taking any more casualties, and neutralizing numerous enemy units. But then Private Johnson got confused and threw the grenade pin instead of the grenade at some purple carnivorous plants. Sergeant Woods and I continued with the assignment and we were able to reach the structure our intel reported as an entrance to the alien fort. Sir, I would like to state at this point that our intel was no good. As Sergeant Woods proceeded into the opening and stopped to signal me that the path was clear, the structure closed on him, proving to be the jaws of a giant worm-like creature. At this point, sir, I decided that the best course of action would be to return to home base. No sir, I don't believe I have any part of Woods, Brown, nor Johnson that we could bury. Yes sir, empty coffins it is then. Promotion? I'm to take a squad of rookies back there? But, but, but--yes sir!

Cannon Fodder 2, brings back all the joy that its predecessor brought into the tiny battlefields, where fast-paced action meets tactics and the horror of war meets cartoonish humor. Once more, you take control of a small squad of little pixel soldiers and lead them to victory through 70+ levels across 24 missions. But this time, the game takes you out of the trenches and throws you into the medieval times, 1930s' Chicago, and even the outer space!

That would be instabuy as soon as I get home.
That game was so great back in the day - I played it on Amiga computer and I still remember that many missions were hard and soldiers were dying bloody fast... But it was a great game with heaps of humor. Thanks Gog team!!
I've heard of this game but never gave it a serious look. Now I'm floored. This is right up my alley! So long as GOG doesn't have to pull them in the next eight days I will soon make sure to own 1 and 2.
I also missed there ever being a sequel. Maybe because the game seems to be from 1994, when I was completely oblivious of games whose name was not either Doom or Doom 2.
Nice to see this here, but I have to admit I never knew there was a Cannon Fodder 2 or even a 3 either.
I didn't even know Cannon Fodder had a sequel. Will be picking this up later.

Fuzzyfireball: So, what happened? Did Codemasters suddenly decide to get smart and sell more of their backlog here?
I'm glad Coadmasters and GOG have made friends again, I actually wouldn't mind a 'Dizzy' pack - that WOULD be nostalgic! Not sure what the DOS versions were like though, PC speaker and 4 colours might be a bit much...
This looks horrible. Pass.

Actually there not that bad looking granted
I only found gameplay of Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy but the rest of the ones that saw a PC release: Prince of yolkfolk, Fantasy World,Fast Food, Bubble, look pretty similar in terms of graphics from what I seen of them

Now granted I can't comment on the PC version of Dizzy 2: Treasure Island Dizzy since I can't find screenshots of it anywhere seems to be quite rare but from what someone told me it was just similar to the C64 version which was just the speccy version ported to DOS complete with the Speccy colour pallet and Dizzy 1 never saw a PC release but as I said from 3(Fantasy World Dizzy) on though the DOS versions were pretty nice.

RevGalen: This looks horrible. Pass.
I'm sorry but yes, it is not very good. It's Cannon Fodder's cool gameplay, untouched, but with the style and atmosphere removed. The bitter, ironical, funny anti-war tone is lost in the process. It's not a parody anymore, just a soul-less drag-your-units-around-and-shoot-baddies game.

It's, roughly, a re-skinning of Cannon Fodder, but Cannon Fodder's skin was half of the fun. So, yeah, quite a bland game.

So yeah, that game was a disappointment for Cannon Fodder fans.

There was, however, Dizzy 1 remake for PC which looks pretty nice. Treasure Island Dizzy, Spellbound Dizzy and Crystal Kingdom Dizzy were never released on PC even though some of them were pretty new (Crystal Kingdom Dizzy was actually the last one from the series). I don't count arcade spin-offs, just the main adventure series.

I would love to see Dizzy collection here!

JediLoop: There is even Cannon Fodder 3!

It would be better if we all pretended there isn't.
