Open Fodder - Open sourced Cannon Fodder reaches version 1.6.0!

From 1993 to 1994 Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive released two of the best top down war based shooters I have ever played in my life.  It was none other than Cannon Fodder and its sequel Cannon Fodder 2: An action-strategy shooter series first released for the Amiga and then later ported to other systems such as the PC. So why are we mentioning these fabulous games yet again on IRN? Robert Crossfield has just announced the open source port of ' Open Fodder ' has reached version 1.6.0!
