Classic Game Room - JACKAL review for NES

[@sepuljoe06]

Ohhh man this game brings back so many memories. This was one of the first NES games I ever owned when I got my NES back in '88. The joy I had when I finally beat it was amazing, having the whole family cheer me on too was so amazing. So glad you love this game too!

[@jonathandavidson8633]

I loved this game, I had it as a kid!!

[@robojoxM1]

Jackal is my favorite game of all time. Its always In my NES ready to rock N roll.

[@stucazzo2000]

You're awesome man! And I mean that! :)

[@Velguader]

Crunch! Machine gun! Crushh! Squaash! Explode!

[@RobbieStrike]

One of the 5 games I had back in the 80's for the Nes but would play for hours!

[@grundle420]

This game should have been on the NES classic edition

[@jillmarie3841]

Right!? I was so disappointed

[@jesusavila4024]

Couldn't agree more 👍💯

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Yes way all of the Konami games including the contra the castle Vania trilogy and jackal are rare games

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

@@ronaldhenson9170 no they aren't.

[@G18999]

They clearly should've left Castlevania II off and included Jackal.

[@oofta.gaming]

This is when Konami was great.

[@asunayuuki742]

+SupaPixelGirl They stopped being great near the year 2012, and when they cancelled Silent Hills.

[@richardherzog5405]

They were at their best in the 80s. Some of the best arcade games .

[@Django333]

Jon Baha, whats so great about them now that Kojima is gone?

[@TheJophus13]

I wish they were still the same, renting these games from blockbuster I always looked for konami,capcom and hudson soft.

[@Blueflag04]

and then they screwed everything up

[@hdofu]

if you don't die and rescue everyone you get "We made it!" instead of "Here?"

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

On my game it said "YEAHHHH!"

[@kiruppert]

I had this game when I was a kid! I never knew anyone else who did. I liked it, I sucked at it, but I liked it!

[@TheL1arL1ar]

This was my game back in the day..but I had to blow into the cartridge a lot to get it to work.

[@TheL1arL1ar]

Ma ma hahaha that works too.

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Not me I clean my Nintendo entertainment system games with q tips rubbing alcohol and glass cleaner

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Never blow in the game cardtridges the oxidation from your breath will mess up the Golden contacts

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

Or you could, I don't know, maybe clean it?

[@GalathNox]

I said this in a comment on another video, this was the very first NES game I ever bought with my allowance money. Oh, sweet memories. Loved the music.

[@GalathNox]

6:14 Always thought it was cool how the grenades would decapitate soldiers as it flew by. No explosion necessary.

[@Dungyfan007]

Found this game used in a Kmart around the time ps2 came out. My Kmart was weird and had a lot of used nes games.

[@RA2Channel]

David Holbrook my old kmart sold used nes and snes games well into the PS1 era.

[@RA2Channel]

yeah, I passed up a Power Blade and an Earthbound... I did get Contra and Super Castlevania though at that Kmart though.

[@Dungyfan007]

Mad Ape Productions nice! Back then I never dreamed nes and snes collecting would become a huge business like it has.

[@RA2Channel]

I didn't either. Back then games were abundant at garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets for a few bucks. I grew up with a NES and then a Genesis. I got an SNES with 15 really solid games for $20 at a garage sale when the PS1 and N64 were in their prime. I don't remeber all the games but Super Mario World, SMB All Stars, Zelda, Final Fantasy III, Super Metroid, and the first 2 Donkey Kong Country games were in that lot. That was the lot that got me into collecting.

[@Dungyfan007]

Mad Ape Productions man I miss those days

[@stucazzo2000]

I find it hard to believe that you never even played this game in the 80's considering it was a Konami. It is a great co-op game as well. Glad you're experiencing it! :)

[@DerekDomino71]

I loved this back in the day, I need to pick it up again.

[@jannevaatainen]

Played this today for the first time on my Famiclone. We didn't have this in Europe for some reason. Nice to find these kind of great old games, that I have never played before!

[@khoid]

The game actually has a different stage end screen depending on how upgraded your weapon is. You get "here?" if you have the lowest level weapon and kickass action scene still if you have a fully upgraded jeep.

[@dsol9767]

A game I had growing up and I still love to play it. A great game for one or two players.

[@saintkong8382]

I used 2 play the heck out of this game back in 92. I lost this game couple years after that. Miss those days.

[@1angelicdemon1]

I remember back when i was a foster child. The guy who was taking care of me had like 30 or 40 games for the nes. this one i was so obsessed about. i called it "The Jeep Game" though i died alot and fairly easily. it never stopped me from playing it. playing this game and watching films like Terminator 2 and speed 1994 while listening to 80's music. I had a fun time. nostalgia is the hi ho bomb digady

[@stevefulkerson4995]

Loved Jackal back in the day, best music ever....this battle will make your BLOOD boil!!

[@KevinStriker]

One of my first NES games and one I can still beat with a half hour of good, hardcore gaming.

[@TheCodedtestament]

This game is a lot of fun, I still play this game to this day and enjoy every second of it.

[@nrrork]

That is just classic Konami graphics, though. I love it. Konami games just had a distinctive look to them, Capcom too.

[@Michirin9801]

I've heard a lot about this game but I have yet to play it... It does look and sound nice though!

[@quentil]

I used to beat this game over and over and over and over and over. Thanks to this game, along with Tecmo Bowl, Gradius, and Wrecking Crew (Don't judge me!), many a boring night was salvaged.

[@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures]

Best NES game experience. thanks for the review. glad to have you in the jackal fan club!

[@bialar467]

One of my top 10 as a kid and an all time great. I just replayed through a few months ago actually and it's still amazing.

[@sypherxv406]

OMG !!! Thank You Mark !!! I was looking for this game for ages, i saw it when i was a kid like 20 years ago at my local supermarket !!! I thought it was a clone or something... i remembered jeep, crush enemies and saving POW sending to the chopper Man, i am still looking for a lot of the nostalgia games i played

[@randallkern3771]

Always loved this jam.

[@SeekerLancer]

Jackal is one of my favorite NES games as well and probably my #1 co-op game.

[@TheActs2021]

Yes, that along with Contra too!

[@ronaldhenson9170]

jackal was one my favorite nintendo entertainment system games

[@picsou081]

My favorite nes game (with willow, blaster master and so much others) coop mode was great

[@KorieG]

picsou081 Don't forget the Mega Man series! 😉 Later...

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

This was a game I played with my brother all the time when we were kids. Great times!

[@Dynamode8]

great yet difficult game!

[@TheActs2021]

This is one of my favorite NES games ever! I played it over and over and over again. It was a quick fun easy to play game... alot like how Contra was for me too.

[@ronaldhenson3379]

I remember jackal on the Nintendo entertainment system

[@jetblackc22]

Man, can't believe I forgot about this game. Probably amongst my most played and enjoyed games from my childhood, and it has an awesome soundtrack. Jackal needs to be recognized for the classic that it is.

[@metalmat3651]

One of the best games on the NES and one of the handful of games I owned back in the day.

[@LJW1912]

Anyone got a link for a video that had the bonus disco music? I really liked that bit of music? XD

[@anithen]

l loved this game back when I was little.

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Me too bro I remember jackal for the original Nintendo entertainment system it's one of my favorite games

[@nrrork]

Glittery Jim! Game Grumps is where I best know this game from, I never heard of it until then. I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere as a kid. My town didn't even have a video store when I was little. The only Nintendo games I got to play were whatever the gas station had for rental on their one wall along with their VHS tapes.

[@ChrisPBacon-nd7qe]

Got this on psp :) Jackal is beast better than contra remember playing with my uncle which was a teenager I myself was around 8 man I miss those days no bills no worries

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Jackal is one of my favorite Nintendo entertainment system games

[@MrSEA-ok2ll]

An incredible arcade two player game and one of my favorite NES games eventhough not arcade perfect.

[@alyssahudson1743]

One of the first games I finished with my best friend Loved it

[@ronaldhenson3379]

Totally my childhood I remember putting in hours on contra jackal castle vania 1 2 3

[@Vtmtnman42]

Holy crap...haven't seen this game in 20+ years.Used to be my game back in the day on NES.

[@stryk187]

Jokes on you! My parents' Grand Cherokee has *3* weapons, and one of them is a _BAZOOKA_! HA!

[@jesusavila4024]

I was 8 years old when this game was released I remember throwing some crazy fits when I got far and lost😂😂

[@Kooltrex]

One of my favorite nes games

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

I remember my friend found this game in a field back in the day...we're talking back in 1991 or so...

[@deezy81]

Randomly finding games outside is awesome.

[@TheJophus13]

I grew up playing this, me and my lil brother rented this constantly from blockbuster, I was 5 when this came out.

[@deezy81]

I was seven.

[@brbZoning]

do read comments Mark?

[@not_fresh6736]

one of the first games that i saw in my life. to be exact this was the second one after allmighty Contra.

[@pilgrimMj]

The hardest thing about this game is how close you have to be to the edge of the screen to get it to scroll. Your missiles often fail to explode properly off screen.

[@gluserty]

I can't think of the game right now, but it's from the last 11 years or so (Vice City Stories maybe?) and there was dialogue where someone said, "You Jackals!". Back to this game though, I had a friend who had this game, and yeah, I think it's pretty great, per Konami tradition at the time.

[@thegamechangerchannelclass9711]

Choplifter in a jeep by way of Commando.

[@ronaldhenson3379]

It's totally worth playing jackal on the Nintendo entertainment system

[@johneygd]

Yeah this game reminds me a bot of ikari warriors but also metal gear solid.

[@zanychelly]

What about the switch? Are you going to try it?

[@idnyftw]

my friend had this, I always felt the stages were designed to be played by two players

[@djynfxxbdhtbrn6854]

he said POWs or Prisoners Or Whatever then they're both POWs aahhh

[@nexion218]

Best intro known to man!

[@chancepaladin]

The Ninja Turtle van from tmnt, lol

[@202Pasha]

Just got jackal again yesterday you should try "mig 29 soviet fighter" as well its great!

[@Riz2336]

This is a fun game, one of the better ones for the NES game play wise that isn't an expensive one.

[@gamingforfun9000]

Grab your friend, crash your enemies and see them dead before you, hear the lamentations of their prisoners.

[@snowman22ism]

Fuck I loved this game...

[@sandy1980ification]

Jackal is ones of the best NES games!

[@Code1D10T]

Ah, I miss classic Konami shooters. Where's my Contra 5, Gradius VI, or Salamander 3?

[@b-retrogamer2925]

epic game. love it

[@drunkinmonkieez]

Some of the sounds and music seem reused from contra

[@deezy81]

They are both from the same company.

[@ronaldhenson9170]

everytime I play this game I always get all the soldiers for the bonus points

[@cavalleri]

What an underrated game!

[@atranfanatic]

I can get to the very last boss but have never defeated it. And yes it was without cheats and by myself. lol I know it is possible, but it takes a lot of patience and time with lots of practice. Hopefully someday I will beat it once. One of my favorites as well on the NES.

[@deezy81]

Have you done it yet?

[@PurnaNugraha]

GOD !!! MY CHILDHOOOOOODDDD, GOOOOODDDDDDDDDD !!!!

[@pizzamon795]

I got this game new

[@chunchi2012]

Great game!

[@Gingerzilla]

Wait till you play the PCB Mark, it's even better!

[@yvz1984]

forever super spy hunter :D

[@Zorn27]

jackal is a great game!

[@nitramsk8]

Looks like Raiden Trad in a tank

[@tonyatliss3709]

this game is pretty good

[@RONSTAR8]

jackal, jackal, jackal, its a jackal! 😆

[@shawdawg3675]

"I love games where you can run over people." Mark, you have to play Carmageddon: Max Damage for Xbox One then.

[@edrosa3485]

Is it just me or was Musha IN FRONT of Truxton?

[@ronaldhenson9170]

I beat this game numerous times

[@GeneralWildDog]

Anyone who loves music of Level 3/6 just like me?

[@PastorCrackpot]

This was the best NES game... I still remember the great feeling after beating it... actually that may be the saddest thing I ever posted

[@michaelhermanson2755]

so close to Sega Master Systems Rambo... but faster.

[@rodrigocc290]

This was my best game. But I had a diferent version...

[@minecraftbros3442]

i play it on my ngage

[@ronaldhenson9170]

Konami made great games

[@PrinceMarcusWilliam]

Here?!

[@badbirdkc]

Is this where I make petty complaints about the nearly endless supply of free entertainment Mark provides?

[@pyramidgod4537]

badbirdkc Yes, yes it is. How *dare* he provide fun, well produced reviews of cool video games!

[@hdofu]

game for people who have a fetish for jeeps or tanks.

[@jmac79ers]

Dear snk : Don't mind getting punched in the face, but the whole getting lit on fire thing? No

[@Iwalkwithghost]

[@vatonegro6972]
