    Okay smellies, the game for May is Jackal for the NES. The NES version was released in 1988 and it's about 4 men in a car, one of them is wearing goggles but you play as the car so it doesn't matter. It plays similar to a shmup but you have full control of your movement. Since it has a scoring system we can have a battle for the ultimate title of honour, the run ends on May 31st so there's plenty of time.

    You can get the browser version here http://nesbox.com/search/?q=Jackal
    And you can get a manual-guide here http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Jackal/Getting_Started

    Fight bravely and without pants.

      Editing … Uh oh, there's no kill screen. How are we supposed to take a screenshot of our scores?

      Editing … Hmm that's a bit lame. I guess just take a mental note of the score in the bottom left or take an in-game shot. It's just a friendly comp so your word is good enough. I got 6,500 while testing this, but back to homework now :\ - MC

      Editing … Should be good, Jackal is a lot easier and then there's the co-op mode.

      Editing … MC - 53200, I got to the second level then some big heads shot rockets at me from their mouths. I'd like to think this is how the war in Afghanistan really went down, 4 guys in a jeep vs the entire Taliban with exploding ancient Greek pillars.

      Editing … (Bob) You can get good pretty quickly at old games if you keep at it. Sorry I haven't contributed much but I've got my final assignments for this semester piled up. If people want to start suggesting games for the next month or someone wants to host one then go for it.
