What Gamespot Users have to say about Jackal (1989)
- Rating:8
Jackal shows that exploitation of Cold War conflicts can be unabashedly terrific fun.

One of the better action games for NES.

Jackal belongs in every collector's NES library.
Like many NES games, Jackal is simple and short. But, most importantly, Jackal is fun, especially in the simultaneous two-player mode. You and a comrade control armed military jeeps and progress through the stages by des... Read Full Review
