You filled and signed a form to a local gazebo to support a local retirement home during your Christmas shopping. your partner tried in vane to stop you. but now you find yourself in combat under the nickname of … Jackal.... I think something went wrong...
Welcome back to the Brainstorm Emporium Gaming. Jackal, also distributed under the title of Top Gunner, is an overhead run-and-gun shooter by Konami released as an arcade video game in 1986.
Jackal can be played by up to two players simultaneously. A second player can join in during play any time and the two jeeps are numbered on their hoods to indicate which player is in control.
The controls consists of an eight way joystick and two attack buttons. The first button fires the jeep's machine gun turret (which always shoots northward), while the second button is used to launch grenades towards the direction the jeep is facing.
The grenade launcher can be upgraded into a missile launcher, which can be further upgraded up to three times, giving it a longer reach and then allowing it to fire shrapnel rounds that spreads in to two or four directions.
The machine gun has weaker firepower but a faster firing rate, while the grenade/missile launcher can destroy most enemy vehicles and artillery in one shot, as well as destroy gates and buildings.
The game starts with a pair of transport helicopters dropping the player's jeep into the coast of the enemy territory, followed by a plane which drops the jeep's driver and gunner.
The main objective is to penetrate the enemy's main headquarters in the same way they did with you at that gazebo. Along the way, the player will proceed through numerous internment camps where the POWs are held. Prisoners held in solitary camps will upgrade the jeep's grenade/missile launcher by one level.

The player's jeep can only carry up to eight prisoners and once it is filled, the player must drive to the nearest heliport where an extraction chopper awaits to retrieve them. Players receive more points for extracting prisoners in succession.
Jackal does not have a traditional stage structure. Instead the entire game takes place in one long continuous level.
The player's jeep can run over foot soldiers, but will be destroyed if it gets shot by a projectile or collides with an enemy vehicle. When a player's jeep is destroyed, a replacement jeep will appear and the missile launcher that will be downgraded by one level.
The game ends when the player accomplishes the mission or runs out of replacement jeeps.
Saying nothing sometimes says the most, therefore I leave you with the game.
And this explain it all, tell me not to do something and I will do it twice and take pictures with my phone!!! In my humble opinion this was definitely a great video, c'mon be honest, and as usual, thanks for watching drop a like and see you soon
