This is a 3d remake of the classic NES title Jackal' I'm keeping the level design and gameplay as true to the original as I can' It's plain and simple arcade style action: run over enemy soldiers in your jeep and shoot the tanks' Rescue the hostages and get them to the chopper to earn powerups' You start with grenades and upgrade to missiles, 2-way missiles, and 4-way missiles' The final version will be cooperative multiplayer(up to 4) over the network instead of the original NES 2 player mode'

Hop in your jeeps and squish those baddies! My remake of the NES classic Jackal is finished and ready for action. It's a vertical scrolling 3d shooter with a top down view. Your mission is to free the POW's and get them to the rescue chopper. You'll fight your way through six stages and face boss battles at the end of each level. For more details check out the mod profile or head over to the Jackal homepage for the download.
Conversions for the Xbox & Dreamcast are in progress, so stay tuned.

JACKAL!!!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!
Yeah FW blows so much donkeys i can't even download jackal at all (and yes I did copy and paste the link, the download is est. done in four hours and it stops at 1mb or so)
Ill pm you for some hosting anyways (i'm backed with 50gb a month and 3gb space)
yeah, freewebs blows donkeys. I get 500mb of bandwidth each month so only 25 people can DL my 20MB mod:( I usually go with Earthlink because they never shut me off for exceeding my bandwidth, but they only give me 10MB for free so I can't even use them with this mod. Did you pay for Planet Gargoyle's server space out of your own pocket?
Can't you get a better mirror than freewebs?
*hint hint* ;)
Thanks for the comment Shadowfox! I'm really happy with how the game is turning out so far. I do everything myself except the textures and models. I made a few textures with my digital camera, but most are freebies I get off the net and modified in Paintshop. The models are also modified freebies, but I had to make all the skins for them myself.
Wow, for a game that is being done by only you, your making it look quite impressive.
