I've been waiting WAY too long for a new Jackal game.
The original title on the NES was one of my favorite games for the system. In the game, by Konami, you played as an Army Jeep behind enemy lines rescuing friendly POWs.
From a top-down camera system, you could move in eight directions while firing a machine gun from the side or throwing grenades forward.
The boss battles were massive and the game had many very intense moments.
There was also a VERY entertaining multiplayer co-op mode.
