These days, we remember Commodore’s Amiga system for its games. Classics like Cannon Fodder. In 1985, though, the company had grander plans.
3D artist Toni Bratincevic goes back to the early 1990s and absolutely nails it. Or, he nails it if you were playing Amiga or PC games at the time, anyway.
Think games based on movies, action-oriented TV shows and classic works of literature are a bad idea? They’ve got nothing on games based on soap operas.
Amiga fans, rejoice: there is a new Cannon Fodder game in development! It’s being handled by GFI.
