Classic carnage coming to Game Boy Color

Codemasters' recent buy-out of Sensible Software is due to bear fruit in the shape of Cannon Fodder on Game Boy Color.

Cannon Fodder was originally released in 1993 to critical acclaim and is regarded as one of the first real-time strategy titles. The Game Boy Color version is being developed at Codemasters, under the watchful eye of ex-Sensible supremo Jon Hare, along with the game's original Lead Programmer Julian Jameson.

Promising the best graphics yet seen on Game Boy Color, Cannon Fodder will utilise cutting-edge 'Hi-Colour' technology, enabling the inclusion of full motion video and cut-scenes in the game.

"Cannon Fodder is a great title," said Mike Hayes, Codemasters' Sales and Marketing Director. "It's a proven brand in the trade and core gamers hold it in high regard. It's a perfect game for the handheld."

Surely a Game Boy Color version of Sensible Soccer is in the pipeline...
