Jackal - Amiga port

Jackal, also distributed under the title of Top Gunner, is an overhead run'n gun-style shoot-'em-up video game by Konami released for the arcades in 1986. The player must maneuver an armed jeep in order to rescue prisoners of war (POWs) trapped in enemy territory.

Jackal was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on September 1988 in North America. 

This project attempts to port the NES version with some graphical improvements on the Amiga (OCS-ECS) platform as our entry for #AmiGameJam 2021

At the moment there is only some footage available, downloadable version will come in the next weeks.

UPDATE 27-8-2021 - First demo version available for you to download and play. 

It's a very WIP version so don't expect too much from it! 

Features 

• basic jeep movement
• basic fire
• secondary weapons
• enemy soldiers
• enemy vehicles
• destructible props (metal gate, roofs..)
• stage 1 music (wip) by Simone Bernacchia

As usual playable in both UAE and real Amiga hardware.
