In Japan, a Family Computer Disk System version was produced titled Final Command: Akai Yōsai (ファイナルコマンド 赤い要塞?, Final Command: The Red Fortress), which was released on May 2, 1988. A cartridge conversion for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released under the Jackal title on September 1988 in North America. The NES version has a number of changes made when compared to the Disk System version released in Japan, such as wider levels, a new boss, and a map shown before each level indicating the player's progress. The NES version of Jackal was included as a bonus game in the PC compilation Konami Collectors' Series: Castlevania & Contra released in 2002 in North America. On July 29, 2009, Konami released a mobile phone version of the game in Japan based on the NES version. Another mobile version was released by Konami in China for normal Java cellphones on August 5, 2010.
Computer ports of Jackal were also released in 1989 in North America for IBM PC and the Commodore 64. An unrelated Commodore 64 version of Jackal was released in Europe, along with versions for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC in 1988.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or versions:
“The climate of Ohio is perfect, considered as the home of an ideal republican people. Climate has much to do with national character.... A climate which permits labor out-of-doors every month in the year and which requires industry to secure comfort—to provide food, shelter, clothing, fuel, etc.—is the very climate which secures the highest civilization.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
