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,
* Checkpoint Alpha (the oasis level, based on the 1st level from coin-op Jackal) was added as the opening level. (Final Commando started at Checkpoint Baker.)
* NES Jackal begins with an animation with a helicopter dropping a military jeep. This was absent in FDS Final Commando,
* The water is animated.
* Checkpoint Charlie (the harbor stage) is shortened just a bit; the battleship boss is horizontal and has 6 turrets compared to 5 in FDS rom.
* Checkpoint Zulu (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.
