- 4860My first game of NES Jackal went pretty well. I completed 2/6 levels. Cool version of the awesome arcade game.
- 5107Yeah, Jackal feels great in 60 Hz!
- 5108The stage 2 music reminds me a bit of Golden Axe.
- 5109Reached level 3/6. You have 3 continues.
- 7007I freakin' love this game. Everything about it. I'm not great at it, though, I am in so much trouble in stage 3, especially the battleship boss.
- 7008Reached level 4/6. Combining machine gun and grenades or rockets made short work of the battleship turrets.
- 7009Reached level 5/6. It took 7 grenades to take out the big helicopter boss.
- 7010Reached level 6/6. The level 5 base boss wasn't difficult at all.
- 7011The turreted base in level 6 was too much to deal with. I'm going to get it at some point, though...
- 7017After looking at some maps from videogamemaps.net, I think I should avoid the heavily defended base in Stage 6 and just go to the right instead.
- 7018Dammit! So close to the end of level 6. Helicopters and spread shot turrets are the main problems for me right now.
- 7019Two times more I made it to level 6, now playing on the mednafen emulator to be able to stream the whole thing to YouTube. The last attempt went well, and I reached the final boss. But it was too much. Maybe tomorrow.
- 7128Bjørn was visiting, and we played a game of Jackal on the old NES.
- 8578Another good NES game that Thomas and I tried, but it crashed. I wonder if I should buy a top-loader NES or something?
- 9606I bought a new NES on dba.dk and picked it up in Gentofte. I'm currently testing it out, and it seems very stable so far. The guy I bought it from was using it for world record score attempts, so that makes sense. I played the 3 first levels of Jackal, worked perfectly.
- 10010I just made a RetroAchievements account and tried playing Jackal on the RANes emulator. It's a mod of FCEUX with support for achievements. I got 4 achievements from playing through the first level.
- 10861OK, Jackal works on the MiSTer. This is going to work out, I think.
