  • Executive Meddling: Cannon Fodder 2. Designer Stuart Campbell originally had a more elaborate plot in a accompanying novella explaining the arrival of time-traveling aliens wrecking havoc across human history, and your squad being kidnapped by sympathetic aliens to restore balance in the timeline. The publisher Virgin Interactive axed the intended storyline, leaving no explanation of the aliens or time-travel.
  • Follow the Leader: Cannon Fodder is a classic that has at the very least inspired a few imitations.
    • A Halloween-themed survival game that was featured on Newgrounds where you command a group of survivors to fight a horde of undead monsters such as zombies and vampires. The gameplay and controls are faithful to the simplistic essence of Cannon Fodder.
    • B-Team: Metal Cartoon Squad has a strong similarity to Cannon Fodder with its slapstick aesthetics and simple gameplay.
