This version of the arcade game Jackal is distinguished by its use of an 8-way joystick for control. The 8-way joystick allows for finer directional control compared to the rotary style, potentially leading to a different gameplay experience. While the core premise remains the same, this variation may introduce subtleties in maneuvering and aiming.  It is believed to be one of the original releases, and while the precise details of developers and the original release date aren't fully known, it is understood to be a popular game.
