Open Fodder is a free, open-source version of the legendary Cannon Fodder that will let you enjoy this Sensible Software classic on modern operating systems. This version of the game comes with four demos, so you just have to install it to play. But, if you add the additional Cannon Fodder files, you can also play the original campaign. The gameplay in Open Fodder is identical to that of the original game. On the left of the screen is a list of all your soldiers, with their rank and the weapons they can use. All you have to do is left-click on any part of the map to move them around, and just right-click to shoot. And little else. Like this, you can go about exploring the different levels in the game and destroying all the enemies. As previously mentioned, the default version of Open Fodder includes four demos that will give you a taste of the full experience of the original game. But, like with many upgrades of older game engines, you will need to extract the original game files to play the main campaign. Luckily, this is very easy to do nowadays, as the game is sold for a reasonable price on some digital platforms. Open Fodder is one of the best ways to enjoy the Cannon Fodder experience on modern computers. The game is still just as fun and fast-paced as day one and, thanks to this upgrade, it now has improved visuals.
