Jackal (also known as Top Gunner in its American arcade release) is a top-view action shoot-'em-up where the player must fight into enemy territory while driving a jeep in order to rescue captured allies and transport them into a rescue chopper. It was originally released as an Arcade Game by Konami in 1986, followed by a home version released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. It was one of the many military-themed action games released by Konami during The '80s alongside Rush'n Attack, Contra and the original Metal Gear.Like many obscure classic Konami games, Jackal was referenced in later Konami games such as Silent Scope and Contra Returns. | |

Acro Fatic: The first boss you encounter is a platoon of Heavy Tanks which move very fast for their size. | |

Collision Damage | |
| Jackal (Video Game) / int_6f3498bc | comment |
Collision Damage: This one is a bit strange on the NES: Not only can you run over enemy foot soldiers with your jeep, they will die if they run into your jeep (even when you're not moving). Driving into a wall won't kill you. Driving into a boulder that has stopped moving will. | |

| Jackal (Video Game) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: When you die right next to the helipad, the POWs will continue to wander around and wave for a pickup instead of going straight to the rescue copter. | |

| Jackal (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Subverted in the arcade version. Your missile launcher will only be downgraded by one level when you lose a life. Played straight in the NES version, however. You will always revert back to the default grenade launcher after dying. | |
