Jackal [Model NES-JK-USA]

Released in September 1988 in the USA.

This port for NES is an almost complete overhaul compared to the FDS version. The list of differences is below:
* Jackal was published as a rom cartridge,
* the text's shadow was darkened,
* NES rom doesn't have a "2 player B" mode known from FDS rom, so the game is either single or double player,
* the last sentence of introductory screen is beginning with a new, last paragraph,
* the 'wild bloody rose' from FDS rom was changed into 'wild jackal',
* the characters' background images are navy blue (instead of red) and
now have bluish frames around them. The text shadow is now blue instead of gray,
* all the stages are now 512 pixels wide, which is a 2x increment towards the FDS game. The stages are scrolled in 8 ways (just like in coin-op original) instead of just vertically,
* the oasis level (based on the 1st level from coin-op Jackal) was added,
* NES Jackal begins with an animation with a helicopter dropping a military jeep. This was absent in FDS Final Commando,
* the water is animated,
* the harbor stage is shortened just a bit; the battleship boss is horizontal and has 6 turrets compared to 5 in FDS rom,
* the final level is 2x longer than in Final Commando, has POW camps to be destroyed, has jets and the final base is brownish instead of red,
* Jackal has the screen with the map shown before the game added, along with intermission screens showing how many POW's you took and with a moving jeep,
* the text 'well done! your mission accomplished' has an exclamation mark, is orange and shown after boss defeat, but not on the separate screen,
* Yamamoto responsible for visual design wasn't credited in Jackal.
