Ohhh man this game brings back so many memories. This was one of the first NES games I ever owned when I got my NES back in '88. The joy I had when I finally beat it was amazing, having the whole family cheer me on too was so amazing. So glad you love this game too!
I used to beat this game over and over and over and over and over. Thanks to this game, along with Tecmo Bowl, Gradius, and Wrecking Crew (Don't judge me!), many a boring night was salvaged.
I said this in a comment on another video, this was the very first NES game I ever bought with my allowance money. Oh, sweet memories. Loved the music.
I find it hard to believe that you never even played this game in the 80's considering it was a Konami. It is a great co-op game as well. Glad you're experiencing it! :)
The game actually has a different stage end screen depending on how upgraded your weapon is. You get "here?" if you have the lowest level weapon and kickass action scene still if you have a fully upgraded jeep.
I remember back when i was a foster child. The guy who was taking care of me had like 30 or 40 games for the nes. this one i was so obsessed about. i called it "The Jeep Game" though i died alot and fairly easily. it never stopped me from playing it. playing this game and watching films like Terminator 2 and speed 1994 while listening to 80's music. I had a fun time. nostalgia is the hi ho bomb digady
I didn't either. Back then games were abundant at garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets for a few bucks. I grew up with a NES and then a Genesis. I got an SNES with 15 really solid games for $20 at a garage sale when the PS1 and N64 were in their prime. I don't remeber all the games but Super Mario World, SMB All Stars, Zelda, Final Fantasy III, Super Metroid, and the first 2 Donkey Kong Country games were in that lot. That was the lot that got me into collecting.
OMG !!! Thank You Mark !!! I was looking for this game for ages, i saw it when i was a kid like 20 years ago at my local supermarket !!! I thought it was a clone or something... i remembered jeep, crush enemies and saving POW sending to the chopper Man, i am still looking for a lot of the nostalgia games i played
Got this on psp :) Jackal is beast better than contra remember playing with my uncle which was a teenager I myself was around 8 man I miss those days no bills no worries
Played this today for the first time on my Famiclone. We didn't have this in Europe for some reason. Nice to find these kind of great old games, that I have never played before!
Glittery Jim! Game Grumps is where I best know this game from, I never heard of it until then. I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere as a kid. My town didn't even have a video store when I was little. The only Nintendo games I got to play were whatever the gas station had for rental on their one wall along with their VHS tapes.
This is one of my favorite NES games ever! I played it over and over and over again. It was a quick fun easy to play game... alot like how Contra was for me too.
Man, can't believe I forgot about this game. Probably amongst my most played and enjoyed games from my childhood, and it has an awesome soundtrack. Jackal needs to be recognized for the classic that it is.
The hardest thing about this game is how close you have to be to the edge of the screen to get it to scroll. Your missiles often fail to explode properly off screen.
I've been mentioning JACKAL since the 90's. Antagonist, Gamespot and every other game related site. Users would say "WHAT?" And I would say "JACKAL! You've NEVER played JACKAL?" This game was obscure and forgotten. No Rental store had it, I couldn't find it in any of the stores. They ALWAYS had CONTRA but not JACKAL! My neighbor had it, he was the spoiled brat kid that had EVERYTHING! His parents bought him EVERY Nintendo cart as they were released. If it existed ... he HAD IT! He had JACKAL! 😀
I can't think of the game right now, but it's from the last 11 years or so (Vice City Stories maybe?) and there was dialogue where someone said, "You Jackals!". Back to this game though, I had a friend who had this game, and yeah, I think it's pretty great, per Konami tradition at the time.
I can get to the very last boss but have never defeated it. And yes it was without cheats and by myself. lol I know it is possible, but it takes a lot of patience and time with lots of practice. Hopefully someday I will beat it once. One of my favorites as well on the NES.

Jackal is my favorite game of all time. Its always In my NES ready to rock N roll.
You're awesome man! And I mean that! :)
I loved this game, I had it as a kid!!
This game should have been on the NES classic edition
Right!? I was so disappointed
Couldn't agree more 👍💯
Yes way all of the Konami games including the contra the castle Vania trilogy and jackal are rare games
@@ronaldhenson9170 no they aren't.
They clearly should've left Castlevania II off and included Jackal.
Crunch! Machine gun! Crushh! Squaash! Explode!
One of the 5 games I had back in the 80's for the Nes but would play for hours!
running over people in goldeneye was the best in the tank ,that crunching and screaming sounds
Sadists of the world unite!!!!
This is when Konami was great.
+SupaPixelGirl They stopped being great near the year 2012, and when they cancelled Silent Hills.
They were at their best in the 80s. Some of the best arcade games .
Jon Baha, whats so great about them now that Kojima is gone?
I wish they were still the same, renting these games from blockbuster I always looked for konami,capcom and hudson soft.
and then they screwed everything up
I had this game when I was a kid! I never knew anyone else who did. I liked it, I sucked at it, but I liked it!
if you don't die and rescue everyone you get "We made it!" instead of "Here?"
On my game it said "YEAHHHH!"
I used to beat this game over and over and over and over and over. Thanks to this game, along with Tecmo Bowl, Gradius, and Wrecking Crew (Don't judge me!), many a boring night was salvaged.
This was my game back in the day..but I had to blow into the cartridge a lot to get it to work.
Ma ma hahaha that works too.
Not me I clean my Nintendo entertainment system games with q tips rubbing alcohol and glass cleaner
Never blow in the game cardtridges the oxidation from your breath will mess up the Golden contacts
Or you could, I don't know, maybe clean it?
Jackal is one of my favorite NES games as well and probably my #1 co-op game.
Yes, that along with Contra too!
6:14 Always thought it was cool how the grenades would decapitate soldiers as it flew by. No explosion necessary.
I said this in a comment on another video, this was the very first NES game I ever bought with my allowance money. Oh, sweet memories. Loved the music.

I used 2 play the heck out of this game back in 92. I lost this game couple years after that. Miss those days.

Found this game used in a Kmart around the time ps2 came out. My Kmart was weird and had a lot of used nes games.
David Holbrook my old kmart sold used nes and snes games well into the PS1 era.
yeah, I passed up a Power Blade and an Earthbound... I did get Contra and Super Castlevania though at that Kmart though.
Mad Ape Productions nice! Back then I never dreamed nes and snes collecting would become a huge business like it has.
I didn't either. Back then games were abundant at garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets for a few bucks. I grew up with a NES and then a Genesis.

Mad Ape Productions man I miss those days
I've heard a lot about this game but I have yet to play it... It does look and sound nice though!
OMG !!! Thank You Mark !!!

Best NES game experience. thanks for the review. glad to have you in the jackal fan club!
One of the best games on the NES and one of the handful of games I owned back in the day.
One of my first NES games and one I can still beat with a half hour of good, hardcore gaming.
jackal was one my favorite nintendo entertainment system games
That is just classic Konami graphics, though. I love it. Konami games just had a distinctive look to them, Capcom too.
Always loved this jam.
Got this on psp :) Jackal is beast better than contra remember playing with my uncle which was a teenager I myself was around 8 man I miss those days no bills no worries

It's totally worth playing jackal on the Nintendo entertainment system
I remember jackal on the Nintendo entertainment system
Jackal is one of my favorite Nintendo entertainment system games
My favorite nes game (with willow, blaster master and so much others) coop mode was great
picsou081
Don't forget the Mega Man series! 😉 Later...
This was a game I played with my brother all the time when we were kids. Great times!
A game I had growing up and I still love to play it. A great game for one or two players.
Me too bro I remember jackal for the original Nintendo entertainment system it's one of my favorite games
Glittery Jim! Game Grumps is where I best know this game from, I never heard of it until then.
I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere as a kid. My town didn't even have a video store when I was little. The only Nintendo games I got to play were whatever the gas station had for rental on their one wall along with their VHS tapes.
I loved this back in the day, I need to pick it up again.
One of my top 10 as a kid and an all time great. I just replayed through a few months ago actually and it's still amazing.
I always loved jackal I played it all the time with my friend John
My brother and I played it quite a bit when we were kids.
You and John should link back up and see if you still have that chemistry.
Holy crap...haven't seen this game in 20+ years.Used to be my game back in the day on NES.
This is one of my favorite NES games ever! I played it over and over and over again. It was a quick fun easy to play game... alot like how Contra was for me too.
Man, can't believe I forgot about this game. Probably amongst my most played and enjoyed games from my childhood, and it has an awesome soundtrack. Jackal needs to be recognized for the classic that it is.
Loved Jackal back in the day, best music ever....this battle will make your BLOOD boil!!
l loved this game back when I was little.
I was 8 years old when this game was released I remember throwing some crazy fits when I got far and lost😂😂
This game is a lot of fun, I still play this game to this day and enjoy every second of it.
I grew up playing this, me and my lil brother rented this constantly from blockbuster, I was 5 when this came out.
I was seven.
Totally my childhood I remember putting in hours on contra jackal castle vania 1 2 3
One of my favorite nes games
Jokes on you! My parents' Grand Cherokee has *3* weapons, and one of them is a _BAZOOKA_! HA!
I remember my friend found this game in a field back in the day...we're talking back in 1991 or so...
Randomly finding games outside is awesome.
Yeah this game reminds me a bot of ikari warriors but also metal gear solid.
An incredible arcade two player game and one of my favorite NES games eventhough not arcade perfect.
The hardest thing about this game is how close you have to be to the edge of the screen to get it to scroll. Your missiles often fail to explode properly off screen.
Choplifter in a jeep by way of Commando.
great yet difficult game!

he said POWs or Prisoners Or Whatever then they're both POWs aahhh
I can't think of the game right now, but it's from the last 11 years or so (Vice City Stories maybe?) and there was dialogue where someone said, "You Jackals!".
Back to this game though, I had a friend who had this game, and yeah, I think it's pretty great, per Konami tradition at the time.
This is a fun game, one of the better ones for the NES game play wise that isn't an expensive one.
one of the first games that i saw in my life. to be exact this was the second one after allmighty Contra.
Fuck I loved this game...
Best intro known to man!
Jackal is ones of the best NES games!
my friend had this, I always felt the stages were designed to be played by two players
Anyone got a link for a video that had the bonus disco music? I really liked that bit of music? XD
What an underrated game!
The Ninja Turtle van from tmnt, lol
GOD !!! MY CHILDHOOOOOODDDD, GOOOOODDDDDDDDDD !!!!
Ah, I miss classic Konami shooters. Where's my Contra 5, Gradius VI, or Salamander 3?
Just got jackal again yesterday you should try "mig 29 soviet fighter" as well its great!
forever super spy hunter :D
I can get to the very last boss but have never defeated it. And yes it was without cheats and by myself. lol I know it is possible, but it takes a lot of patience and time with lots of practice. Hopefully someday I will beat it once. One of my favorites as well on the NES.
Have you done it yet?

Great game!
You should try out Breakthru for the NES
jackal is a great game!
Wait till you play the PCB Mark, it's even better!
this game is pretty good
everytime I play this game I always get all the soldiers for the bonus points
I beat this game numerous times
jackal, jackal, jackal, its a jackal! 😆
Grab your friend, crash your enemies and see them dead before you, hear the lamentations of their prisoners.
do read comments Mark?
Looks like Raiden Trad in a tank
Is it just me or was Musha IN FRONT of Truxton?
Konami made great games
This was my best game. But I had a diferent version...
Anyone who loves music of Level 3/6 just like me?
"I love games where you can run over people."
Mark, you have to play Carmageddon: Max Damage for Xbox One then.
Here?!
What about the switch? Are you going to try it?
so close to Sega Master Systems Rambo... but faster.
This was the best NES game... I still remember the great feeling after beating it... actually that may be the saddest thing I ever posted
i play it on my ngage
Some of the sounds and music seem reused from contra
They are both from the same company.
la versión de nes es mejor que la arcade
man konami is the best they own metal gear contra & yugioh (but the Japanese version is better)
