Cannon Fodder Amiga game intro

[Lirvan]

I need to get my old amiga running again...

[darkgollum]

Que des bons souvenir !!

Inoubliable cette musique <3 Amiga forever !!

[vabis1200]

KEEP JOOLS AND JOPS ALLIVE !!!

[Infiltrate808]

Gosh this takes me right back, many found memories of my amiga days, a time when games ment playability rather than just fancy graphics and hardly any playability or control what so ever...

[weasel75]

Thank you, "Sensible Software" (and the Brits in general), there can't be enough of that sharp wit in the world.

[mahoit]

J.M.E did a sick version of this lol

[ajk8t2]

Sensi 97-98 and cannon fodder for the i phone! Get it done!!!

[CyrusHacker]

I need 19 Bullets!!!!

[zaij86]

Time to dust off my old Amiga 500 it seems :D

[TheFatAmericans1]

I never got past like the 5th or 6th level. Whenever Jools or Jops died I would restart.

[W0LFDK1984]

Well..

SomeSongs/Themes never get old;-)

[milczyciel]

0:50 This genius brouth You the tune.... no... THE TUNE!

Sadly he died in 2007

RIP Richard Joseph :(

[chunkybeats79]

@milczyciel was a bloody genius brought amazing tunes to the Amiga!!! RIP Richard!

[chunkybeats79]

yeah was a huge loss, he was amazing at making music for games, developers use his tracks for guides. Awesome RIP Richard, this is your greatest achievement on the Amiga!

[darrc13]

amiga was my first console and i still have it, literally spent years of life playing this game and now im gonna go dust it off and crack into it again XD

[PiBBrutal]

best game of all times

[slipknot158158]

Le meilleur jeu de tout les temps tout simplement

[LegiaFanatic1987]

the best amiga's game ever!

[AlhambraDream]

This is amazing

[alanlovedog]

reminds me of when real voice samples were considered impressive!

[dageezerboi]

INCREDIBLE GAME. the amiga was so fucking awesome

[snaketusv]

They just don't do game intros/games like this anymore. Sad but true :(

[aidanrayner999]

If anyone wants the lyrics, here ya go!

War! Never been so much fun! x4

Go up to your brother, kill him with your gun.

Leave him lying in his uniform dying in the sun.

War!

(repeat)

[jacksawild]

It's like having an acid flashback. I remember having friends round and we would listen to this, many, many times. It makes me want to dance.

[Agnus78]

My god. So, so many hours played....

[Furzkampfbomber]

@Ghettoreel It still is... And still banned in Germany because of its violence. I bought the game before it was banned and still have the box on my board. Pretty ridicoulous, though I have to admit it is pretty amazing that you can depicture a screaming soldier with his guts hanging out with only 30 or so pixels... xD

[aledbutcha]

Vince from Phone Shop would consider this to be dub. "Oooh dub".

[Yak141184]

It was one of my favorits....

[jsfowler06]

back when computer games wasn't made by Hollywood. RIP what a shame, i get fed up with new games so fast... Cut scenes lol

[76MKIIDub16V]

Amiga FOR EVER !!!

[pingpongsextonight]

I wasted my childhood playing on the Amiga. It was great!!!! Cannon Fodder was one of our favourites.

[FrankNFurter1000]

Sends a shiver down my spine, particularly "Lying in his uniform dying in the sun."

Great great days.

[Ampex101]

This game is comedic gold!

The Theme song is flipping catchy as hell,game play was insanely addictive and funny.

So yeah

War has never been so much fun!

[simse110]

cannon fodder what a great game :D :D does anybody remeber super frog ??? Amiga for life :D

[snaketusv]

@simse110 I remember Super Frog, it was great!

[MrDarkTemplar]

all mi childhood amiga and cannon fodder, street fighter 2 and walker :D

[madstiv]

This was my all-time favourite game for the Amiga, and I just loved this catch theme!!!

[thesman32]

you cut the end off

Why?

[Highretrogamelord89]

19 people failed killing their brothers.

:p

[wobber999]

cannon fodder kicked @ass

[vasjakur]

Cannon Fodder 3 is in production. In fact, a demo was allreaddy released (Russian language only - WTF?)

[CRILLER3]

@vasjakur whooooo ??? really ? man do you know anything about it ? bet it is only console :S twin stick shooter if so .. not getting it ;D

[vasjakur]

@CRILLER3 Actually, it's PC only. gameplay: watch?v=3WkXftOUBN8

[CRILLER3]

@vasjakur looks pretty good but it would never beat the original ;) but looks good but well see :) thx for the info ;)

[MUZA1875]

Such a beast intro, brings back memories.

Almost as good as the mgs theme.

[playboypl]

aaaa oh my god.... childhood.... i love this intro ;). so many times watched

[ScreamingTc]

19 people never got over losing Jools and Jops.

[Homecore]

@ScreamingTc Hahaha you killed me !

[michael02410]

thank you for this music



[cayman228]

WAR'S NEVER BEEN SO MUCH FUN

[Busterdrag]

Banned in germany because its too awesome.

[Sovietassbuster]

Massive KICK-ASS game!!! Jools was soooo badass :D

[maniemans]

Nostalgia to the bone! xD

[D2PvPde]

just an epic battle of the pixels :)

[citizenph1L]

great game, great theme :D

the theme was fucking awesome.. the lyrics are a masterpiece

[kinaost]

I'm also very happy to belong to the C64+Amiga generation, games back then were the best!

I regret I sold my Amiga 1200! It's the best gaming machine ever made. I need to buy one again.

[JinkySquire]

Arghh! Da Amiga Legend Lives! Takes me bakc to the days when I would play this and send my sister out to buy kebabs. Too bad she forgot the chilli sauce one day and I had to kill her. RIP sis

[StyleSessions]

/watch?v=rxeApMy3Rdo homage or biggest rip off ever?

[CoreDump07]

@StyleSessions homage, i think its fun

[LogiForce86]

This is still the best game ever made! Thumbs up if you agree.

[wadey82]

@LogiForce86 I completly agree many hours flew by playing this game, never managed to get onto disc 3 though.

[utar88utar]

thank you so much for upload :]

sweet old times...ehh...

[litinvention]

Played this again yesterday for the first time in about 5 years. Can't believe the Amiga still works! Lost Jools early on. It was tough, but Jops took charge from then on. Jops and RJ (and Ubik bless him) performed like true heroes. Tragically Stoo had one of those slow suffering deaths after getting caught out on the Slippery Stairway. It was truly painful to watch.

[vojinvidanovic79]

Amiga X1000 Soon come, my brother! SAM 460 and 440 for now!

Really loved the Amiga 4ch music! Paula was best part of OCS, so sad it was not improved

over time (slow Commodore then, CUSA even worse!).

Now, from today perspective, a bit too much electronic but better then beepers and early Sound Blasters.

Blessing is that in my SAM I&I have Sound Blaster Live 5.1 so Sound Blaster goes Amiga!

[doritostheking]

@vojinvidanovic79 Shut up, you're not Jamaican.

[lynchian]

JOOLS AND JOPS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jimakoma]

those were the days when time was all we had and our best buddy late at night was turrican and rick dangerous... why can't I memorize anything after 2000? maybe i had a stroke or something... ;D Amiga forevah x2 !

[yacah]

Amiga 4evah! Thx to the emulators we all can relive it ... so precious ... wish today games would be at least 1/4 fun as those amiga ones ...

[alegrojek]

This is my cell phone tune because I miss my childhood

[notoriousgit]

could you help me with the settings for cannon fodder on winUAE cant seem to get it to run with glitching like crazy

[mommywhereisdaddy]

all my elaborate plans and struggles for keeping jools and jops alive, have withered in a bunch of bearded terrorists' black gazes! sorry guyz:(

[neilo86]

Jools and Jops FTW!

[SouthernSky]

Cannon Fodder 3 is on the way!

[elenorgreanleef]

3DO one of the best unknown game systems ever.

[stooNX]

mmmmm i'm lovin't :)

[Sengoku69]

Amiga RULEZ !

[ghostieknows]

check my game play through :D

[IceTeaEdwin]

This game was hard x_x

[sleez0]

so glad to have been part of this generation, dont really enjoy games on the new consoles

[slaterbreaker]

@sleez0 they were raw in those days. Pure pain trying to play through....

[sleez0]

@slaterbreaker yeah very much so, do you remember north and south? loved that game

[dajm1982]

@sleez0

Your not playing the right games.

This comment is not in any way endorsed by the Royal British Legion

[MediaManPower]

@sleez0 You are entitled to your opinion, although I think that's just your nostalgia filter talking. Mortal Kombat 1 got nothing on Mortal Kombat 9, in every way. IMO, always.

[Evi1M4chine]

@sleez0: Cannon Fodder was not a faggy console game. Consoles are for losers. The Amiga was a personal computer. A PC. And a pretty great one too.

[GreenbulletGames]

@sleez0 Back when games werent gimicky :)

[ZroDfects]

@sleez0 ... Tell me about it.. I have PS3, 360 and Wii and I had more fun on the one console "Amiga" than the 3 I have combined, the music was awesome, graphics were sweet and colorful.... Todays games are all the same. Even with Studio quality music all suck.. On the Amiga I could listen to the music over and over again. The pause button got a good work out on my keyboard.....

[vishy]

@sleez0 Yup it was ALL about playability ... now it's just fancy graphics. Great games like Sensible soccer, magic pockets, monkey island, populous, speedball 2 (the greatest game ever!! lol) ... loved the amiga and i too am happy to have been part of that generation. The pre-internet era was fun ...

[Furzkampfbomber]

@vishy Yeah, and gamers used to think that a hard game was exectly how a game had to be. The journey was its own reward. Nowadays you have annoying ,,push this button to... use, walk, crouch, breath,, messages every 5 seconds and stupid achievements for every step you make without stumbling over your own feet. Its amazing how modern games like ,,Call of Stupid 27,, are finished and boring after 4 hours while I am still playing Turrican or Burn Time or the amazing Battle Isle.

[pat20105]

That may sound weird but This is creepy! :Z

[norsef]

Sensible Software.

Where art thou?

[aidanrayner999]

@norsef

Well, funnily enough, it WAS based in the UK, which is where I live. But it had been bought out by Codemasters.

Cheers Codemasters. NOT.

[ElectricSmell]

Cannon Fodder was ace. Filled my teen years with welcome violence lol

[bababazuka]

its all commercial now, nobody cares abt fun anymore or maybe I am gettin old

[jutubish]

SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

[jutubish]

Kii Kiii Kii Kill him with your gun!!

[mfmatt]

amiga instant

[emixiak]

Go to your brother,

kill him with your gun!

leave him lying in his uniform

dying in the sun! :D

truly war's never been so much fun

[SNESosT]

@emixiak thats what it says!?? HOLY CRAP LOL

[emixiak]

@SNESosT you poke fun at me? :)

[SNESosT]

@emixiak no, I was actually laughing about those being the actual lyrics XD

[kapsi]

From wiki:

"The theme tune (War Has Never Been So Much Fun) for the game was written by the lead game designer Jon Hare, with musician Richard Joseph. Vocals were sung by Hare himself."

And I always thought it's a woman singing.

[SNESosT]

on moe thing, comparing this next to the snes, it seems we have a winner on sound chip for 16 bit music, and I a snes fan attic lol

[SNESosT]

if you guys wanna see power like this intro on the sega genesis, check out the intro for RED ZONE, blew me away

[DrPiterarnett]

18 dislikes =stupid gey

[TBag198181]

Just imagine, it's 1993, you put a new floppy disk into your beloved Amiga and hear this.  It was simply unbelievable, made the hairs stand up. The audio rips from emulators never do justice to how this actually sounds running on a real Amiga.

[PrezoNaytis]

my favorite was Stoo, he was killed as Major...after many restarts hahahahaha

Perfect game !!!!

[JimmyHill6789]

sup /v/

[qettyz]

:( There is no Virgin software any more, someone bought Virgin trademark and it is Avalon Interactive now.... Missing those Virgin logos on the best games what you can buy!!!

[ciacho86]

Since Hare himself is maker of this song I doubt there is any high quality version of this song? Good quality as for 8-bit (or 16?) tho. Together with Mortal Kombat the Movie theme they are imho the best video games connected songs ever.

[noden112]

War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun Go up to your brother Kill him with your gun Leave him lying in his uniform Dying in the sun War War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun War Never been so much fun Go up to your brother Kill him with your gun Leave him lying in his uniform Dying in the sun War War

[roughruffian]

I dont get why 18 people found this video and then dislike it?!?! if you dont like it dont search for it on youtube, if you stumbled on it by mistake move along...

[damek666]

great reggae song

[Puokero]

K-K-K-Kill him with ya gun, K-K-K-Kill him with ya gun, K-K-K-Kill him with ya gun, K-K-K-Kill him with ya gun. Fuu yeah.

[singningwongho]

great game, loved it and played it so much. but i couldnt get past 1 of the levels in the snow. with the long horizontal map, and u go from right to left, and have to watch out for the men with bazookas, any1 else have trouble with that 1?

[naMdoM]

@singningwongho Was just thinking that myself. Loved the game but couldn't get off one of the snow levels.

[nightlite79]

Retro-gaming!

I'm so glad I come from an era that had games that were playable for what seemed like eternity. I never grew tired of Cannon Fodder, it was, is, and probably always will be my favourite game of all time.

Why is there no Flash version? Gamers of today deserve the chance to play a real game!.

[FriksPt]

Best Game Ever !! Nostalgia forever ;)

[RaynaSahara]

We do transform and you can select Naughty women mworld5.info

[Swamoez0rs]

Sweet nostalgia <3

[Ayrshore]

I played it last night - the Amiga's still on now!

[FuzzyScotsman]

Good grief i cant recall the last time i played this yet this video made it feel like yesterday!

I bought this on the day it came out ( a quick wiki search tells me it was out in 93 when i was only 17!) amd had hours of fun with it and the wit of the game didnt escape me with its take on war...

Looking at the wiki article i had completely forgotten the outrage is caused over the use of the poppy. Must have been a slow news week that week......

[BerZerK89]

WAR!

[rankin7]

epic

[detoxcaso]

best game ever made

[SHINOBHS]

Amiga forever and ever

[D6Film]

Great time it was. Hope the new Amiga will have a bit of spirit from this old one :)

[easyXL]

Zajebisty klimat minionych lat...

[adobezgaca]

cant bellive this is the real music to the game then this surely is the coolest intro song to a game ever hahahahahah

[Stillwell86]

I remember being amazed with the audio quality of this when it first came out. Nothing had matched that before.

[adobezgaca]

is that the real music playing of the game ???

[djrikki2008]

@adobezgaca

Yup

[djrikki2008]

@adobezgaca

Yeah it was interesting times back then, this intro fit on one floppy disc 880K.

Other youtube videos by the same composer, this one is so funny:

watch?v=F7XiXQ6wEyM

Also sensible soccer sound track:

watch?v=NNyU4xc-G6Y

[mayorc]

@adobezgaca Yes

[mmonicque]

@TheOrangeExplosive 18 George Bush Fans

[djrikki2008]

Check out the new amiga coming out very soon, just search: Amiga X1000 in your favourite search engine!

[perspectivehorizon]

good porno track...and game

[25FreakOuts]

Go to your brother. Kill him with your gun. Leave him lying in his uniform dying in the sun! WAR!!!!

[irishbloke99]

fucking hell i used to love this song and the game was great too.

[rufus1530]

there are no more good games like that nowadays. What a shame.

[factor6]

in fact, Richard Joseph made this music on real instruments originally and then he cut it to samples to fit into Amiga.

[LtR3YN0LDS]

@factor6 Really sad that he'll never make anything for us :( We have to listen his songs from Sensible World of Soocer, Cannon Fodder 2, Sensible Golf as well with this... Sad, really sad.

[mpotts1980]

i love this music make the game even better

[Skyisnotalimit]

"My love has got a gun" ....

[Quilbo]

Best game ever.



[ega76]

Cannon Folder - I remember 1993 or 94 and my Amiga 600 :-)

[okee9]

"Ger orf moi land" must play this again, love to get it for the amiga

[mjhartlebury]

WAR

never been so much fun :)

[Zopator]

@mjhartlebury

Never will be so much fun!

[gsian187]

where can i download this stuff?

[elbarto643]

wow is this an amazing game.

[bv161181]

dying in the sun... so much fun :)

[RobinHooy]

Yeah, I remember me playing this game when I was kid. Good old days.

[luigimiaooo]

It must be the national music of U.S.A.

War!

Never Be so much fun!

War!

War!!!!!!!

[AmgCJoop]

@luigimiaooo first of all, its not called national music, its national anthem. secondly, what do you know about the states? You're Italian. Your nation didn't stand up to hitler, but surrendered instead, and gave his men quarters until they had to leave because the allied forces and russia were closing in to save you.

[mrpranny]

@AmgCJoop whereas america joined both world wars from day one right? ;p .Hoo-raa .Great music :) :)

[AmgCJoop]

@mrpranny Well we delivered the finishing blow, and thats what matters right?

[mrpranny]

@AmgCJoop  no comment.

[0Pie0]

@AmgCJoop NO YOU FKING DIDNT, HITLER KILLED HIMSELF, AMERICA SENT ILL EQUIPED BOY SCOUTS THAT ARRIVED LATE. DID THEY MISS THE TRAIN YOU SILLY CUNT! AMERICA PROBRABLY KILLED MORE BRITISH AND OTHER ALLIED TROOPS THAN GERMANS AS IS YOUR NATIONS HABIT. DO ME A FAVOUR YANKEE BOY LEARN THE PHRASE "FRIENDLY FIRE"

[AmgCJoop]

@0Pie0 I know Hitler killed himself, thank you very much. If it wasn't for the Americans liberating France, all events that followed would never have been possible. You're reasoning is the worst I've ever seen, and also the most unrealistic. Do yourself a favor and improve that brain of yours, and please also learn how to spell correctly

[Kthonix]

@AmgCJoop Well, actually, the soviets probably would've handled it even if the "Americans" (it was actually the allies) hadn't liberated France.

[AmgCJoop]

@Kthonix Germany probably would have been able to mobilize their forces, and make use of the equipment they lost during the invasion of France somewhere on the Eastern front. Honestly, I'd say it's debatable

[janmansde3dede]

@AmgCJoop Guys come on, that was the past things has changes, no country/state is better or worse than each other, This game kicks ass :) !

[Galdhon]

@AmgCJoop My Godwin's Law sense is tingling.

[harlequin2262]

@AmgCJoop

Oh dear. Not a national government assisting psychopaths and murderers for political gain.

[meineEdelstein]

@luigimiaooo MMM ya cause USA is the only country/organization with troops killing people.

use logic.

[slaterbreaker]

@luigimiaooo americans just love killing.

[Gudheinz]

@slaterbreaker

Well, that's like the only thing they're still any good at.

[WendigoNights]

@luigimiaooo Because no other nation on earth has ever started a war or anything....

[Gudheinz]

@WendigoNights

Have they?
