I finally beat "Jackal"
I've been playing it for a few weeks off and on trying to beat it. The last level/boss is really hard. I made it to the tank boss with like three lives and only grenades and took him down. What an adrenaline rush. I did use a continue on the last stage but since this game has limited continues it's okay.

I just beat this last month too, I didn't find it too difficult I had like seven or eight lives on the last level, that game was a blast to play, congratulations.
It was mainly the last stage that was giving me a hard time. That damn helicopter is a cheap shot artist and difficult to avoid especially when you're trying to release POWs. This time I just blasted through the stage ignoring POWs.
It's pretty classic Konami and very arcade-y.
Hey, I just got a copy of this from an NA member. I feel like the first four stages are pretty easy and then the difficulty suddenly spikes, though most of the bosses are easy.
I find that the first boss is more difficult than some of the later ones. I usually lose a life on the first boss.
But if the last boss kills me, I'm screwed without my good weapons.
I wanna get this painted on the side of a van.

But in all seriousness, everyone needs to play and beat this game. It's best played with 2 players!
It took me 3-4 attempts to beat it so I didn't find it to be all that difficult except for the last stage and final boss. In particular the final boss was really memorable and I had no shot the first time I made it that far.
It shouldn't be much of a surprise that the game is good since it's a Konami game after all.

Yeah, there is a BIG leap in difficulty with the last level, and the memorization of where the sniper-helicopters come from is crucial.
We played it last year for the high score contest and a few of us managed to one-life the game, but it involved A LOT of repeats through that last stretch to get the pattern down.
Congrats, OP!
BTW, it might be a glitch, but those two lasers before the final tank boss can't hit you when you're between them and it isn't necessary to destroy them. Knowing that makes that part so much easier.
But they're worth POINTS!

Yeah, this game has a lot of risk versus reward noments where you can play for points or play it safe. There are some parts of the game where I would rather play it safe.
