Absolutely in love with Jackal. It feels so good to rush your little tank through the environments turning, somewhat, on a dime just blowing everything up. Unfortunately, I'm just not very good at it! I'll continue to keep picking away it here and there and maybe one day everyone will get rescued on the helicopter, but today is just not that day.
5 star because of nostalgia
Played this with my grandparents as a child... bitter sweet memories now. Probably not as good as my ranking, but you know.
juego de aventura que me trae muchos recuerdos de la juventu.
This is the easiest scrolling retro shooter I have ever played, as evidenced by the fact that I actually beat it instead of lighting the game on fire during the first boss.
It's alright. It's definitely "good" for the time but - believe it or not - the NES top down shooter with 6 levels and full game overs in which you can do a full run in 30 minutes is slightly less exciting today.

This game is one of those hidden gems that I never heard of it until I was an adult. I had no friends that owned this game when I was kid and playing it today was really a blast.
First off, you are a soldier that is riding a jeep on enemy territory. Your job is to save your comrades in Vietnam. While the premise is really simple, the game is where all the enjoyment is.
Graphically, the game is good enough. You know what are the things on your screen, but they don't push it too hard. The bosses designs however are really well made. The game is still able to make you feel that you are in a warzone.
The Music is also really good. The songs are catchy and will be stuck in your head for a while after playing it.
The gameplay is also pretty simple : you can shoot bullet to the north or throw grenades in front of the jeep. You need to traverse the level, defeating enemies and survive. Your jeep is kind of weak and a simple hit will destroy your truck. This game has a lots of projectiles coming your way, so you need to dodge a lot of it.
During the levels, you can blow up some houses or depots. When doing so, you will free your comrades that were captured by the enemies. Your car can load as much people in it. It feels like the clowns car at the circus that they can enter infinite number of people. Some of them are flashing. If you let one of the flashy man enter your vehicle, your grenades will be upgrades to missile. After that, helping other flashy soldiers will widen the AoE of your missiles, making them stronger. You can drop all the recued soldier to an helicopter in the middle of the stage. Doing so will grant you a lots of pooints. It can even grants you more lives. You can also find some hidden items that can do multiple things depending of the color.
The bosses are really challenging and makes it really fun to go against. My only complaint is that one of the bosses is unrealistic when most of the game is in a realistic setting. The second boss is against 4 Medusa Head Status that throws missiles from their mouth.
The best part of this game is that you can play it in coop with another player. This makes the game so much fun. It's also not that long of a game to beat. However, when you are Game Over, you need to start from the beginning.
I would strongly recommend this game to any player that like light bullet hell and wants a short but fun experience.
Game # 43 of my challenge.
