Jackal put you in control of a military Jeep who has to go through many levels in order to destroy the enemy bent on taking over the world. yeah, the stories are all the same but the game is fun.

You have your machine guns and can toss grenades out to blow up bases and groups of enemies. The levels are long and always keep you on your toes with constant enemy attacks. The bosses are usually large and somewhat difficult depending on if you can recognise their patterns.

Another great aspect of this game is the multiplayer mode where 2 players are cooperating simotaniously. It makes for alot of fun even with old 8 bit graphics.

A definate for NES collectors or just for fun in general.
