Cannon Fodder for Symbian smartphones

Telcogames and Codemasters announced the launch of a brand new mobile version of the Amiga title Cannon Fodder for Symbian smartphones. Created by Telcogames' internal development studio ? Magic Productions ? Cannon Fodder is co-published by Telcogames and Codemasters.

In Cannon Fodder players must control their platoon of one or more soldiers and use them to seek and destroy enemy patrols, blow up ammunition dumps and barracks and generally cause mayhem. As the game progresses, each of the player's soldiers can be promoted through the ranks as their experience grows, increasing their aim, accuracy and speed. With only 30 soldiers in total and officers in short supply, players will have to keep a close eye on their troops if victory is to be won.

The new version of Cannon Fodder for Symbian Smartphones recreates the original title almost exactly, capturing the original's gameplay, humour and even the catchy theme tune. Utilising all of the processing power, large screens and sophisticated control systems of Symbian handsets, Cannon Fodder brings console quality gaming to mobile phones. The game features all of the graphics from the original Amiga game, running at an impressive 50 frames per second, as well as truetone sounds effects and music. The Symbian version of Cannon Fodder features four different scenarios, offering over 70 levels of gaming.

Cannon Fodder has been released to all major mobile networks and portals across Europe, North America and Asia through Telcogames' global distribution network.
