Port of Open Fodder to Nintendo Switch. It is an open source version of the Cannon Fodder engine, for modern operating systems.
Cannon Fodder is an action-strategy shoot 'em up game developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive.
The game is military-themed and based on shooting action but with a strategy game-style control system. The player directs troops through numerous missions, battling enemy infantry, vehicles and installations.

- [DOS] Copy CF_ENG.DAT from the CD (or the GOG install destination) to the /switch/openfodder/Data/Dos_CD/ folder.
