Jackal Retro also distributed under the title of Top Gunner, is an overhead run-and-gun shooter. The player must maneuver an armed jeep in order to rescue prisoners of war (POWs) trapped in enemy territory. The Jackal Squad is an elite group of soldiers that have undergone a harsh training regiment to survive in any environment. They have been given a mission to drive the armed jeep into hostile territory in order to rescue and extract POWs. The game starts with a transport helicopter dropping the Jeep into the coast of the enemy territory. The main objective is to penetrate the enemy's main headquarters and destroy their ultimate weapon. Along the way, you - the gunner will proceed through numerous internment camps where the POWs are held. Prisoners held in solitary camps will upgrade the jeep's grenade/missile launcher by one level. Your jeep would pick up prisoners and once it is filled, you must drive to the nearest heliport where an extraction chopper awaits to retrieve them...
