Buckle up for the fourth full episode of Cartridge Chronicles, where we hit the road (and everything else in sight!) with Konami’s explosive run-and-gun classic, Jackal. Originally storming arcades in 1986 and rolling onto the NES in 1988, Jackal puts players behind the wheel of an armed jeep on a mission to rescue POWs trapped deep behind enemy lines.
In this episode, Jeff and PJ revisit this beloved action-packed shooter, comparing the arcade and NES versions, battling bizarre bosses like laser-eyed Medusa heads and tank-producing factories, and reflecting on their childhood co-op experiences. Along the way, they discuss hidden exploits, standout soundtrack bangers, and the game’s surprising legacy—even playing it vertically on the Nintendo Switch!
Join us as we navigate bullets, nostalgia, and outrageous jeep warfare, all set to some undeniably catchy 8-bit tunes. If you’ve never experienced the mayhem of Jackal, you’re in for a wild ride!
