Jackal
PC · 2016
About this game
The enemy army has captured too many of your forces.
Being held in P.O.W. camps, these soldiers are effectively out of the war...unless some kind of rescue operation can be mounted.

Heavy Forces are too slow and visible to be of any use, but perhaps something smaller and lighter may make it in where larger forces would fail.
A small jeep, maybe two, crewed by about 4 people....minimal enough not to represent too much of a loss and yet suitable enough to aid in rescue.
But of course, if these brave men want to succeed AND come back alive; they'll need to fight like animals...they'll need to fight like jackals...
Jackal is an overhead view jeep game for up to 2 players.
The controller moves in four directions, button A fires your grenades (upgradeable to bazooka) and button B your machine gun which ALWAYS fires to the top of the screen.
Your mission is to locate facilities where soldiers are being held prisoner, rescue as many as possible, and escort them to a safe landing zone where they will be air-transported away.
After that, you'll need to fight a boss battle against the enemy to progress.
The NES version is not a straight port of the original Arcade game, but rather a remake.
The Arcade version is a continuous battlefield, but the NES version is divided into 6 stages with a boss fight at the end of each stage.
Also, enemy and hazard placements are quite different between versions.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Jackal for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Jackal to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2016.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Jackal — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
