A webring is a network of websites, which are linked up together with a navigation panel, with which the visitors can navigate through the webring. If you like The Games Archive, you will like this ring! The ring sites are about the same thing as The Games Archive; cool MS-DOS games! If you want to take a visit, go to this URL: http://gamesarchive.etmnet.com/dosgamesring/index.html - Applications section redesigned The applications section at The Games Archive is redesigned. Now all applications have a HTML document with information, like developer, file size, version etc. - All downloads temporarily not accessible Due to an internal server error the visitors of The Games Archive can't download any game or application. We are looking for a solution. All games and applications will be accessible again in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience. ------------------------------------------------------------ Game tip ------------------------------------------------------------ - Cannon Fodder Title: Cannon Fodder Developer: Virgin Interactive Entertainment Publisher: MVP Software File size: 1,30 MB Year: 1994 Version: Shareware Rating: [x][x][x][x][x] Cannon Fodder is a hilarious retail arcade game with loads of cool graphics and witty game play.
