Port of Open Fodder to Nintendo Switch. It is an open source version of the Cannon Fodder engine, for modern operating systems.

Cannon Fodder is an action-strategy shoot 'em up game developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive.

The game is military-themed and based on shooting action but with a strategy game-style control system. The player directs troops through numerous missions, battling enemy infantry, vehicles and installations.

Installation

Note: While Open Fodder comes with four demos, the full game it requires a copy of Cannon Fodder (DOS or Amiga, Amiga files work better). You can purchase the DOS version from GOG.

• [DOS] Copy CF_ENG.DAT from the CD (or the GOG install destination) to the /switch/openfodder/Data/Dos_CD/ folder.
• [Amiga] Copy the contents of cf_data into the /switch/openfodder/Data/Amiga/ directory.
