Excellent format and in-depth research. I am always aww struck by your talent to writing, montage, music creation and everything else. Would you consider uploading background game audio track as mp3/flac?

"If anything, it's more fitting for the game to bear the poppy, than for anyone who would use it as a jingoistic bludgeon" Shots fired.

Cannon Fodder, the game that sealed my love for the Amiga. Teenage me didn't understand what I was about to experience as I hummed along to the epic theme "War has never been so much fun", but now I think that it's one of the best anti-war games ever made

Oh man… this IS my childhood. Your recent content has been brilliant!

Of course they wanted money. Video games are a valid form of art. This reminds of a minor controversy I was in once. I had taken a photo of the American flag upside down. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful but still managed to ruffle some feathers.

Lemmings with weapons sounds like the 90's take on Pokémon with guns

One shudders to imagine the depths of bad faith and all around shit-flinging idiocy this controversy would have gotten to had this game be made in the age of Twitter.
