My bro found out that when you're the VC, if you get a fighter jet and fly it right to the boundry of the sky ^^^^ and then jump out when the plane hits the invisible wall without your parachute out, he will begin to scream but if you get right to the end of the scream you hear a little noise. Yep you guessed it, he sh*ts himself . . . brilliant.
I love cannon fodder, had it for the Snes and pc. IT WAS AWESOME.
I hope they remake it but in a 3rd person style. Obviousley they'd have to remove the bouncing bodies. I loved it when a troop got stuck on a punji stick. Sometimes I was nice and put them out of their misery.

I've still got it somewhere, actually. Wonder if it'll run on Windows ME (nothing else seems to). I've got XP on my laptop though, that probably won't - it won't even run Cannon Fodder!

Ahhhhh, why did forest fan spring to mind there. I remember Ecstatica, 'twas the first "Alone in the Dark" style game to use elipsoids. Technology wise, impressive, gameplay wise, I never got into it.

The best was this really old game called Ecstatica, where, if your were inventive enough, you could equip yourself with a Bible and bludgeon this Priest until he fell off a bell-tower. Whole game in itself.
I love it when you find new ways to torture characters in games. I used to fly the planes upside down in TFX, really close to the ground, and then eject myself into the soil. It was brilliant because the plane would fly off, leaving this little puddle that used to be you, and your helmet rolling around on the ground!
I have to admit, it wasn't the first thing that popped into my head.
