Cannon Fodder (video game)

  • ... that video game Cannon Fodder, intended as an anti-war satire, drew controversy for its juxtaposition of violence and humour as well as its choice of iconography?

  • Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done. New enough. Long enough. image has fair use rationale. Article is neutral enough. Hooked fact found in article and supported by sources.
  • Pictogram voting keep.svg Offline sources support the article and were not plagiarised to write the article.
  • Symbol question.svg Similar issues to previous article about Cannon Fodder: "Cannon Fodder is an action-strategy shoot 'em up game developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive for the Amiga in 1993. Virgin ported the game to home computer systems DOS and the Archimedes, and the consoles Jaguar, Mega Drive, SNES and 3DO in 1995." is on the lead but does not appear to be supported by the body of the article. --LauraHale (talk) 03:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I've added cites for the release date, developer, publisher and the plethora of (I believe identical) ports in the infobox. bridies (talk) 10:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Not a huge fan of cited infoboxes but I realise music and video games kind of have this as a convention so will tick good to go on this as cited infobox covers points in the lead that I found problematic. --LauraHale (talk) 11:05, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
