Jaleco was a third party game developer in the late 80s that more prominently made games on the NES. They never really released anything that was overly outstanding. Also, they were notorious for putting the name "Jaleco" on game end labels instead of the game's title.
I would like to share another good thing in this game aside from your mention of the tank's customization, that is being able to touch enemies, as physical contact with enemies in most games, such as the other two you directly compared it to, Jackal and Iron Tank, results in damage or instant destruction of your machine. You know what else is great, enemy tanks can accidentally destroy each other as well as get obliterated by mines too, love this, you can actually lure enemy tanks into traps.
This game was fun..but HARD

It is indeed fun, despite it's flaws. Be sure to play it with someone else, it's a blast!

Really? I've sometimes lost fuel from driving into other enemies. >.>
Still, good point concerning the lack of friendly fire among the opposition. I didn't really notice that. :)
