CANNON FODDER
Download the Original Mega Drive manual at www.radicauk.com
War has never been so much Fun! Cannon Fodder took the Sensible Software ethos of
creating addictively playable games to a whole new level. The game went straight to the
top of the charts on its launch in 1993 and contributed to Sensible Softwar
e having the
number one slot in the Video games Charts for 50 weeks between 1992 and 1994.
FROM CONSCRIPTS TO TROOPERS
Before you play, you need to call up some fit young men to become troopers. As luck
would have it, over at Boot Hill ther
e is a queue of some 360 eager conscripts waiting to
go to war- but only 15 of them are allowed to volunteer for each mission. Can you see
them coming over the hill? Fortunately for all concerned, the innocent are added to the
experienced troop of survivors from previous missions.
There are 24 missions to complete, each one with a different terrain and objective and
split into a maximum of six phases. The number of kills for and against you are represent-
ed by HOME and AWAY respectively.
In Play
A
ll the action takes place in the playfield which takes up the main part of the screen. You
do not control the troopers but instead determine their behaviour using the control pad.
Troopers will only follow their leader but can be encouraged to run round in circles, shoot
anything that moves, throw grenades, shoot bazookas, drive tanx, fly choppas, split up
and do their own thing and die.
All troopers start as Privates and their rank increases for every phase they survive,
although they only receive promotion when a mission is complete. After every three mis-
sions the raw recruits are higher in rank because they have already received extra battle
training
The bullets fired by your troopers are clever. They will not kill a fellow trooper- unless he is
w
ounded. All other weaponry kills everyone.
M
oving Troops
Move the pointer around the screen until its tip touches the desired destination. Not the
way that you can view the immediate area surrounding the active troop.
•
Press the A- Button to make the troop leader move towards the pointer’s tip. The rest of
the troop will follow in rank and file.
Using Weapons
It couldn’t be simpler….
• Press the B- Button to turn the pointer into a crosshair and make the trooper or troop
s
hoot at the centre of the crosshair.
• Press and hold the B-Button then press the A-Button to make the troop leader throw a
grenade or fire his bazooka at the centre of the crosshair.
Boarding Vehicles
Move the pointer around the screen until it’s tip touches the desired vehicle. The pointer
w
ill change to show that the empty vehicle may be boarded.
• Press the A-Button to make the trooper (or troop) board the vehicle
• Press and hold the A-Button to make the vehicle move towards the trooper destination
determination pointer. The longer the A-Button is held down, the faster the vehicle will
move.
•
Press the B-Button to make the trooper (or troop) shoot the vehicle’s weapon (if it has
one). Note that grenades and bazookas cannot be used while inside a vehicle.
Leaving Vehicles
Move the pointer until its tip touches the occupied vehicle. The pointer will change to
show the vehicle may be abandoned.
•
Press the A-Button to make the trooper (or troop) leave the vehicle.
Landing Choppas
When a trooper (or troop) is in a choppa flying above the terrain, touching the choppa with
the pointer will change it into a “The Choppa can Land Symbol” –This means the choppa
can land.
•
Pr
ess the A-Button when the “The Choppa Can Land Symbol” is shown to make the
choppa land. Once the choppa has landed, select it to make the troop disembark.
Form A New Troop (Or Two)
There are times when the strategy dictates that the troopers spilt up – perhaps to execute
classic “pincer movement”. So long as you have enough tr
oopers you can make a maxi
-
mum of two new troops from the original Snake Troop, and those are: Eagle Troop and
Panther T
r
oop.
•
Press the Start Button to access the status panel.
• Use the pointer to select the names of the tr
oopers you’d like to form a new tr
oop (the
names will be highlighted). Notice that the troop’s logo has spilt into two.
• Select the troop’s logo to form a new troop with the troopers whose names were high-
lighted.
• Select a troop logo then press the Start Button to resume play in control of the active
tr
oop. Note new tr
oops may be formed inside a vehicle, but only the highlighted tr
oops
will exit the vehicle.
Share And Share Alike
Hold on – who takes all the grenades and bazookas when a troop splits? It’s up to you to
d
ecide. Notice that when you spilt a troop , any grenades and bazookas are outlined. By
selecting the grenades or bazookas, the outline changes to reflect the quality of weapons
– all half or none – that the new troop will take.
• The solid outline represents all the weapons
• The dotted outline represents half of the weapons
• No outline represents none of the weapons
Regr
ouping T
r
oops
T
o bring separate tr
oops together simply walk them into each other wher
eupon the troop-
ers will automatically regroup as a single troop.
A Mission Reminder
Select the map at the bottom of the Status panel for an overview of the ar
ea and the
active troop’s position (indicated by a big red cross). Note that enemy troops are not
shown on this map – it’d spoil the surprise. Pr
ess any button to r
eturn to play.
Mission Complete
Y
ou did it – you saved the day
. And you can save your state of play
, too ………

SENSIBLE SOCCER

“There a few games that can claim to have had such a defining effect as Sensible Soccer.
From the moment it was launched, Sensi, as it affectionately became known, was quite
simply a phenomenon. A sports game loved by sports fans and non sports fans alike.
That's because it's almost perfect in every way. Beautifully presented, tactical, deep, but
above all, fun. Sensi was a jewel in the crown of the 16-bit generation and to play it again
is to revisit an old friend. I lost a lot of hours of my life to Sensible Soccer in the 90s, and
now I guess I'll be losing a few more.”- Miles Guttery, Games Journalist, February 2005.
With over 15 million fans, Sensible Soccer was the most played football game of the early
90’s. It’s top down style, detailed mini-sprites and incredibly intuitive gameplay made it
the football game of choice and provided the springboard that turned Sensible Software
into one of the most successful developers of the decade.
CONTROLS
Sensible Soccer has two different game environments, the menu and on the pitch. To use
the menus, move the directional controls on your control pad to highlight each option box.
Pr
ess button B to select the option curr
ently highlighted.
PLAYER CONTROL
During the game you may only control one player of your team at any one time. The man
currently under your control is the one with the white number above his head. Control will
be changed to another man if the man curr
ently under your contr
ol is too far away fr
om
the ball or if he has lost his footing for any reason.
OFF THE BALL CONTROLS
These contr
ols apply when the man under your contr
ol is not in possession of the ball.
Running
T
o direct your man simply press your controller in the direction you want him to run. A
running man can inter
cept the ball from an opponent in possession.
Sliding Tackles
When running off the ball it is possible to slide into the ball or an opponent by pressing
button B. This will make your player slide in the direction he is facing. Whilst a man is slid-
ing it is possible to get him to deflect the ball in a direction different to the one which he is
sliding when he makes contact with it. To do this the controller must be redirected whilst a
man is in mid slide before he has made contact with ball. This is a skill which has to be
mastered.
Headers
When the ball is in the air and you press button B, instead of sliding into the ball the man
under your control will attempt to head the ball. Such headers can also be deflected in a
similar way to sliding tackles but redirecting must take place before contact has been
made.
ON THE BALL CONTROLS
These controls apply only when your man is in direct possession of the ball. The control
methods described can be adjusted to suit your own preferences by changing the difficul-
ty level in the option menu.
Dribbling
When on the ball simply press your controller in the direction in which you want the player
to dribble the ball. You will find that as the player gathers speed it is harder for him to
change direction and retain control of the ball. This is another skill that has to be mas-
tered. (The way dribbling works can be altered by changing the difficulty setting from the
options menu).
