I was watching a video that had footage of
Cannon Fodder and I was like "oh man I remember this game!" Except I guess I didn't, because I was thinking of an arcade game. I tried looking into it and thought, well maybe I'm thinking of General Chaos... but the graphics don't look right to me? Does anybody know of an arcade game similar to these, I want to say with graphics more advanced than Cannon Fodder but in the same style perhaps? I can particularly remember going through a forest and slowing down in shallow water, which is actually a complaint I see about Cannon Fodder so that just confused me more.
There's another one I've tried asking about in this thread or previous incarnations on the old place many years ago but may as well try again. I don't remember much but...
I played in the late 90s on my PC, I may have only had a Shareware disc with it. It was 2D with nice big sprites, in my mind there's a similar masculine tone to it like Duke Nukem, but not as crude. I think the levels were extremely large, as I recall going around a plain desert setting with a fence and I couldn't figure out where to go. It was a shooter, I vaguely recall having a "minigun" weapon. It was on an alien planet.
