It was called Paratroopers and was relatively colorless. In this game you have aimable shots (about 20 of them!!!) and the parachuters come down in MASSES. There are different play modes how the cannon and the shots behave. You can select if the cannon is moving or not, if it can turn or not (yes, there's a play mode where it only can fire horizontally) and if the already fired shots change direction or not when you move the cannon. If enough paratroopers have landed, they come on a tank and blow up the cannon. I think I've also seen a similar VCS cartridge, but I forgot its name. In it, the man would begin to dig a tunnel after having landed. If the tunnel reaches a place under the cannon, they lay a bomb and the cannon is blown away. A good idea would maybe be if the "human pyramid" not instantly blows away the cannon, but only severely damages it. The cannon could then re-gain health points by NOT shooting "care" packets dropped by planes or helicopters on a parachute. These packets should only have some re-gaining effect if they drop onto the cannon, not elsewhere.
