Reborn by HAMSTER, Arcade Archives JACKAL takes players back to the golden age of arcade games with its uncompromising action style. Based on the legendary game JACKAL released by KONAMI in 1986, the game evokes heroic memories of an invincible special force – where you will drive an armored vehicle and infiltrate the enemy’s lair to rescue prisoners. Every step forward is a life-or-death challenge, but also an opportunity to prove your bravery as a soldier in the midst of a fiery hell.


A life-or-death mission in the heart of the enemy
You will play as a warrior of the elite Jackal unit, carrying out a raid mission into hostile territory. Not only driving through fierce battlefields, you also have to use weapons flexibly to destroy enemies and rescue prisoners. The feeling of intense combat, continuous gunfire and time pressure make each mission extremely tense. However, that is what creates the irresistible attraction and arouses the strong survival instinct in each player.
Recreating the original arcade legend
HAMSTER has cleverly kept the soul of the original when recreating JACKAL in the Arcade Archives series. Every pixel, sound effect, movement and gameplay mechanism are faithfully restored. With the display settings simulating the classic arcade screen, players not only enjoy the classic gameplay but also immerse themselves in the nostalgic atmosphere of a golden age. The feeling of shooting, saving people and rushing forward regardless of danger becomes more vivid than ever.
Customize challenges in your own style
Not only stopping at recreating the original, the new version also allows players to customize many important settings. From the difficulty of the game screen, the reaction speed of the enemy to the way the interface is displayed, every element can be adjusted to suit each person’s preferences. So whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer to the arcade genre, Arcade Archives JACKAL offers a personalized and challenging experience.
Compete globally with the score leaderboard
Another interesting point is the online scoreboard – where you can compete with thousands of players around the world. Scoring high scores is not only a personal glory but also opens up a fascinating and endless race. With each subtle tactical move or spectacular bullet dodge, you get closer to the pinnacle of glory. It is this competitive element that breathes new life into an already challenging and dramatic game.
