Played this so much (as Top Gunner) at a local pizza place after school. And maybe once or twice when we'd skip class... oh man the memories!! Furthest we ever got was just over halfway I think. Cool seeing beyond that all these years later.

Here's the four things (that might not have been obvious in this video) that made this game _such _ a killer. 1. The jeep turns at a fixed rate through 16 directions (not the 8 you can actually indicate on the joystick), making it tough to aim precisely. 2. The gun, for some truly bizarre reason, can only fire _straight up._ No, the maker of this video wasn't trying to add some challenge. 3. The main weapon gets reset to its weakest power (hand grenade) whenever you lose a life, which generally means you're going to lose the rest in short order. 4. *There is no continue.* Run out of lives and that's _it._ This never made it to any of my arcades, but I did play it on emulator, and the prospect of anyone making it even halfway through was just about unthinkable. So yeah, great job showing us what it took! And why the mid 80's were a bit of a dark age!

I played the NES version of this game. I never knew (I think) that there was an arcade version of this game. Not bad for both games, except if you have less than 10 captives, you can't pack any more in your jeep.

This was the game for my dad. He served 5 month in the army from 1979 to sometime in early 1980. He was kicked out during training for something. He always fancied himself a war hero though and would tell anybody who listened he was in the army. He would play this game constantly until he was arrested while playing it while he had his penis out. I guess he was rock fucking hard too. While in jail he told people how he was a veteran and did a lot of stuff like on this game.

Despite not looking as pretty, Jackal on the NES is the superior version.

That's the most badass Jeep ever existed

1986!!!

Ah Yes, my favorite arcade Game known as Jackal: The Military Clown Car. FUN FACT: Clown Cars are The only vehicle that can Store infinite amounts of people, items and Especially clowns inside of it. The Amount of things it can Store deppends on how much ya Stuff into it, and Yes, The more things ya PUT in it, The BIGGER it gets on The inside.

been trying to do this since 1986. I will get there eventually

Class content👍🎮🕹😁

That was amazing. I could never get past the first lvl

Fun game.

Perfect played. But, im always wondering what happened to those soldiers that you couldnt take to an helicopter?? Does they despawn after passing away too much out of range? Or just there is no other helicopter, only one per helipad?

What is this, a clown car with guns?

guess the game is fine with the player leaving men behind.

Me acuerdo que está Recreativa estaba pegada a la de House of the Dead, y siempre veía cómo otros jugaban

Too bad the very final boss is only fought on the NES/Famicom version which is that goddamn giant flamethrower tank

This was super hard!

Cannon Fodder is somewhat similar game...

There's a very similar game on Steam. Blazing trail

Jackal is so cool! And the NES version is very good too!!

There's no bosses nor next levels?

ironically, both Jackal and Contra were far superior on the NES despite having inferior hardware

no entiendo como gané este juego de niño, es muy dificil.

Im trying to find a game that is very similar to this one, but it was a back car, and you can get out of the car when was damaged and get into a new one, do someone remember that game?

arcade version looks better than NES or I think because of the emulator
