  • I've been humming and whistling this tune almost daily for nearly 21 years. Seriously. It's so catchy. Mainly the part after the jeep really starts moving

  • Oh man, I love this game. I gotta pick it up again one of these days.

  • And of course it for some reason isn't on the Virtual Console.... Nintendo, what is wrong... I am throwing my money at the Wii and you just won't take it! (and yes I know I could DL it easy... I also still have my NES and the cart... but I would like to throw money at Jackal anyway!)

  • I keep coming back to listen to this. It's such an awesome nostalgia trip for me. When I was a little kid it was one of the first few games I had for my NES, I always wanted to play the game with my dad. Such good times.

    ...I should check for it on the Wii virtual console and force my roommate to play it with me. Love this game and it's music.

  • If you drive a Jeep in real life, this could be a great theme song for your beloved car. =)))

    Since the NES Jackal repeats BGM pieces 1, 2 and 3 for stages 4, 5 and 6 respectively, I would think the Castlevania music selection here would be broader. What do you think?

  • What if this game used Castlevania's music? Then we would have: Stage 1: "Vampire Killer" (aka "Deja Vu") Stage 2: "Stalker" Stage 3: "Wicked Child" Stage 4: "Walking on the Edge" Stage 5: "Heart of Fire" Stage 6: "Out of Time" Boss Theme (stages 1-5): "Poison Mind" Victory Theme (stages 1-5): "Vampire Killer Stage Clear" Final Boss, part 1: "Nothing to Lose" Final Boss, part 2: "Black Knight" Final Victory: "Vampire Killer Final Stage Clear" Ending: "Voyager"
  • one of the best co-op games I've ever player...seriously, my brother and I played this game for ages...

  • @FuryBrand220 arcade version is called top gunner and I have had no luck searching it up by that name either. I played the machine the other day it was tooo fuckin boss

  • This game used to drive me nuts trying to get past the tanks but I used to play anyways lol, one of my favorite games of all time

  • This takes me back... I love your collection of videos, and thanks a million for posting them.
