Cannon Fodder

Forsooth Sire, we know thou art a fan of Defend The Castle and the Lords III Catapult Game - and here's a siege simulator that combines the best bits of both. It's the usual 'choose angle and strength of shot' kind of thing, with the added excitement that the other player doesn't wait till you've taken your shot before it takes theirs, so you've got the added pressure of choosing the perfect trajectory while constantly under fire.

What's more: the wind-speed really needs taking into account, there are three skill levels (and a no enemy fire practice mode), a networked multiplayer option (simple registration required), plus suitably scene-setting Medieval music. Hey nonny-nonny nooooooo!

Left and right arrows to raise/lower cannon, Space to fire.

It's always worth putting a bit of angle on your shots (even though they take longer to get there), as you can't always destroy the enemy if you hit it on the side. And try holding down the space bar if you've got the right sort of elevation and want to get off your next round as soon as you can.
