When I was a kid, one of the games I'd played over and over was Jackal for the NES. It had local co-op, and it was fun to play with a friend. There was kind of a story, but I didn't care if there was or wasn't one, I just wanted to shoot the tanks. I like how you could be playing the game 30 seconds after putting in the Nintendo cartridge. No drawn-out cut scene, just into the action.

Have there been any official sequels, updates or remakes of Jackal? I played a bit of Assault Heroes for XBLA, but it wasn't quite the same vibe.
