Jackal/Walkthrough

Helipad 1

 * After you land and hop in the jeep, enemy soldiers will approach. You can safely run them over while they are walking around, but if they stop, they are about to shoot.
 * There are three buildings up the right side. The last two contain flashing POWs which can quickly upgrade your weapons from grenade to long-range rockets.
 * There are a few cannons on the left side, and more will appear up the middle as you get closer to the first prisoner encampment. Shoot the cannons with explosives, shoot down the guards with your guns, and then blow up the gate with an explosive.
 * Once inside the encampment, clear away any nearby threats before you blast holes into the sides of the prisons. Collect as many of the POWs as you can, but you may wish to stop at 7 and leave room for one more in case you find another flashing POW.
 * Just outside of the encampment are two cannons, so be prepared to deal with them when you leave. As you drive up from them, you'll encounter your first tank. While you can blow them up with one explosive, you can also destroy them by hitting them with enough bullets.
 * Just before you reach the first helipad, you'll find another hut with a flashing POW. If you have a full jeep of eight POWs, you can't collect this POW until you release at least one to the helicopter.
 * When you reach the helipad, clear the area of any threats before pulling up to the helicopter and allowing the POWs to hop off and run to the chopper. Drop off as many soldiers as you can for maximum bonus points. If you drop off all eight in a row, your explosive weapon will be powered up to the maximum level.
 * Even when the coast is clear while you drop off POWs, enemy soldiers may appear below you, or a bomber plane may fly from the top of the screen. Be prepared to destroy them, or move out of the way, even if it means losing bonus points. You can shoot down bomber planes by directing your vehicle to face roughly 11 o'clock, and constantly fire explosives.

Helipad 2

 * Watch out for the turret and cannon as you drive up from the first helipad. Cross over the bridge to the left side of the river. A tank will be waiting for you on the other side, and a boat will be descending the screen along the water.
 * Above the water, there are two huts side by side that house flashing POWs. Blow up the buildings to rescue them. If you are already at maximum power when you collect them, you will receive a 10,000 point bonus.
 * Above these buildings, you will find a pair of cannons sitting atop bluffs. Rockets can't fire through these bluffs, although grenades can be tossed over them. However, if your rockets are powered up to the maximum level, you can use the explosion they create to destroy the cannons. Otherwise, carefully drive around them and attack them from the sides.
 * Drive up onto the grass cautiously. As you drive to the top, a number of tanks will appear and attack you. There are two high-powered cannons waiting for you along the top as well. An exit ramp is found to the right.
 * Three soldiers stand guard in front of the gate to the prison encampment, which you must blow up. Even after you are inside the encampment, you must watch out for more tanks which lie inside the encampment, as well as some that drive in from below.
 * Three cannons are arranged diagonally above the encampment exit. Additionally, more tanks will appear and patrol the area. You will begin to see columns that can be broken by explosive weapons. If they are not completely destroyed, the columns will collapse and roll down the screen.
 * There is a chance to collect a flashing POW before the second helipad. If your car is full, wait until you unload the car to collect him. Drop off the POWs to the chopper, but watch out for continued attacks and bombing runs.

Helipad 3

 * After leaving the second helipad, a new jeep enemy will appear. These jeeps chase you quickly and toss bombs into the air in an effort to blow you up. You can drive down to run away from the jeeps while firing up to destroy them. In addition, more breakable columns fill the area.
 * A large tank waits outside the next encampment. It fires powerful shots, but it is just as vulnerable to explosive attacks as the other tanks. Clear it out of the way before blowing up the encampment gate and rescuing more POWs. While rescuing POWs, another jeep may drive into the area, so be careful.
 * When you approach the third helipad, a large tank will appear, along with two smaller tanks from the side and bottom of the screen. Clear them out before proceeding. Another large tank awaits just above the helipad. Enemy bombing runs will become more persistent when you drop off the POWs to the chopper.

Helipad 4

 * The approach to the next encampment is quick, but a large tank is waiting inside for you. A smaller tank waits by the prison building on the right.
 * Above the encampment, a hut will contain a flashing POW. Another tank will appear, and more cannons are positioned on bluffs. If you don't have grenades or the most powerful rocket, you'll have to take the cannons out from a safe direction.
 * As you start driving across a bridge, a tank will appear in the middle. Additionally, two submarines will rise from below the water and fire laser beams to the right, or diagonally. Time your trip across the bridge to avoid the laser beams.
 * More tanks appear above the bridge. The hut on the small island contains a flashing POW. Another sub will appear above the next small bridge to the left. Then a tank and a cannon await you on the next island. Take them out before driving up the third bridge.
 * A truck will be parked right along side the fourth helipad, and it will remain stationary while tossing bombs at you. A jeep will quickly approach you as you drive along the right side of the pad.

Helipad 5

 * As the chopper takes off, a large tank will approach from the top of the screen. Beyond it are two cannons on top of bluffs.
 * Shortly after you drive ahead, you will see a bridge going left. You can actually choose to remain on the right side, or follow the bridge to the left side. Either way you go, you will encounter a lot of parked trucks, and a few tanks.
 * As you drive higher up, you will find a hut with a flashing POW on either side of the river. Shortly after that, you should notice homing missiles being fired from some source in the river. It is important to fire your gun rapidly in an effort to destroy these missiles before they hit you. If you're timing and aim is good, you can fire an explosive at the source in the water and blow it up, stopping the rocket attacks for good.
 * If you are still on the right side by the time you reach the second bridge, you will have no choice but to cross over. Above the bridge are two more under-water homing missiles launchers, so be careful when you cross.
 * On the left side, you will encounter a lot more tanks and trucks parked on top of bluffs. Take them out carefully, and then blow up the gate to the next POW encampment. Rescue as many POWs as you can, and then drive up through the exit. (You may notice that there are a number of landmines to the right of the encampment, so avoid that side.)
 * The drive up to the fifth helipad may be fairly uneventful, but once you reach the pad, tanks and bombers will appear, determined to stop you from dropping off the POWs. It may be nearly impossible to drop off a full set of eight POWs uninterrupted at this point without being forced to back off and defend yourself momentarily.

Helipad 6

 * Another hut with a flash POW can be found above and to the left of the fifth helipad. Collect him and then continue north, where you must choose to go left or right around the central ditch. Either way you choose, there are landmines along the ground, so travel carefully.
 * As you make your way around the ditch, a trio of bombers will fly up from the bottom of the screen, peppering the ground with bombs. A ditch on the left will force you to go right. On the far right side is another hut with a flashing POW.
 * Bomber may fly across the screen from right to left, so be prepared to react as you continue forward to the next ditch. You must travel left to get around this one, and there will be plenty of landmines along the way. At the top of the ditch is a homing missile launcher. Try to take it out before it fires too many missiles.
 * Above the ditch, you'll find a few more cannons on top of bluff. Just above them is the next prisoner encampment. Blow up the gate, drive up a short distance, and carefully remove the three cannons on the bluffs from a safe distance. If you have no choice, you'll have to get close and try to drive behind them before blowing them up.
 * You'll find three tanks driving around the prisons. Clear them before you attempt to rescue any POWs. Additionally, a jeep may try to drive towards you from the top. Collect the POWs and escape through the top, but watch out for the landmind sitting squarely in front of the exit.
 * Above the encampment, a hut on the right contains a flashing POW, but the building on the left is hiding a tank. Be careful when you blast a hole into the left building. Above these buildings, landmines are laid out in a horizontal line. Carefully line your jeep up with one of the gaps between the mines and drive straight up to avoid getting killed (or drive to the left side of the trees.)
 * As you drive across the bridge, something along the left side of the darkness below will be launching homing missiles at you. You can destroy the launcher, as well as two retractable cannons that are built into the cliff wall on the opposite side of the bridge.
 * A set of cannons and turrets await you on the other side of the bridge. Clear them out, along with all of the other tanks and cannons that surround the sixth helipad before attempting to stop and deliver all of the POWs. Even when the area has been cleared, you must still watch out for bombers.

Helipad 7

 * A gorge in the middle of the screen will force you to go right or left. The left side has cannons on bluffs while the right side has one tank with a large number of landmines. Both sides have a flashing POW that you can rescue from a hut.
 * Once you are on the other side of the gorge, two cliff walls channel you through the middle. Bluffs occupy the entire channel, so you'll have to carefully clear away any threats before attempting to traverse the middle.
 * Once you're up, tanks will occupy the right side of the screen, and you will be forced to ride to the left. You will find four cannons on top of four bluffs which force you to drive all the way to the side before driving up. Watch out for more tanks and parked trucks.
 * Drive back to the left. Above the next set of bluffs is a tank that fires a blast of flame at you. More tanks will be driving around, trying to find a way to reach you. Some may drive off the right side of the screen and reappear below you. Clear the area of tanks before proceeding.
 * The path leading up to the next encampment is littered with cannons on bluffs. A hut with a flashing POW can be found to the far left. Take out each cannon or threat from the bottom to the top as you clear a safe path to the gate.
 * As soon as you enter the encampment, you'll be facing a cannon on a bluff. Above it is a tank and a parked truck. Another flame throwing tank will appear from the top of the screen. After you clear them out, you will find that there aren't any actual POWs to rescue in here.
 * Above this encampment, you must choose to cross one of three bridges. Every bridge has a good number of landmines on them, so you must cross carefully. Bombers will fly across the screen while you drive up. Many tanks await you on the other side, before you reach a gate to another encampment.
 * This next encampment is where you will find POWs to rescue. Clear away as many threats as you can before attempting any rescues. If your weapon is fully powered up, you can destroy many threats on the opposite side of the wall by taking advantage of the explosive power of your rockets before you even drive into the encampment.
 * Try to take out the cliff cannons before crossing the next short bridge. On the other side, you'll be greeted with a tank. Behind him, you'll see two cannons on bluffs, and three swift moving jeeps will join the fight. Clear the area all around the helipad before dropping off the POWs, including the line of soldiers along the top, some of whom now have flamethrowers as well.

Helipad 8

 * From the seventh helipad, you will drive onto what appears to be the enemy base. There will be many soldiers and many tanks driving around. Two prison buildings can be found on the left side of the base. Blast holes in the wall to get the POWs to appear, and collect them when its safe to do so.
 * As you approach the gate and blast it open, a jeep should appear from above, so be ready to deal with it. In this next section, you will see a large building with cannons mounted on the roof. They can be difficult to hit without long range explosive missiles, but it's possible. Four prison buildings surround this larger building, two on each side. If your jeep is full, don't worry about them.
 * While you are in this area, you will likely be attacked by a chopper. This chopper is very difficult to deal with, as it fires bullets very quickly. Worry first about getting away from it, and don't fire at it until you're safe. Jeeps are likely to appear as you approach the next gate.
 * Beyond the third gate, you'll find the eighth and final helipad. Clear away any threats before you drop off the POWs and keep your eye open for bombers.

Boss

 * From the eighth helipad, blow up the gate on the right and then blow up any threats that you find on the other side. Carefully make your way to the left, destroy any enemies along the way, and blow up the next set of gates on the left side. Drive up and then back to the right, where you will find a third gate to destroy.
 * As you drive through the third gate, another helicopter is likely to appear, so be prepared to shoot it down before it destroys you. In addition to the many tanks and cannons in the area, a homing missile launcher can be found on the right side. Blow it up to reduce the threat to your jeep.
 * As you blow up the next gate at the top, another helicopter will appear. Take it out before you proceed, blast away any threats and approach the next gate. When you blast this gate open, not one but two helicopters will appear to attack you.
 * You will see the enemy skull icon on the ground. Just ahead is the final enemy assault base. On the top are two cannons that fire a near constant stream of lasers at you. If you are fully powered up, you can safely sit on the skull and attack without any fear of being harmed. If you are not, you will have to be more cunning with the timing and placement of your attacks, in order to neutralize the threat that the cannons present. Since you can't destroy the cannons, you should focus on hitting the building as fast as possible. As you weaken the building, it will change color, growing more red the closer it comes to destruction. Once you've hit it enough, the building will explode, and the game will end.
