Game Jackal Standard Overview

Game Jackal v2.8

Game Jackal, the ultimate "must have" killer app for the PC gamer!
If you, like most gamers, find it annoying looking for and inserting the CD-ROM for your favorite game each time you play it, then Game Jackal is for you.

Keeping your gaming investment safe
One major concern gamers have is the CD's life span. The CD-ROM for a popular game may be inserted and removed many hundreds of times, this of course leads to the inevitable "Unable to read" error and ultimately a trip to the trash.

Version 2 supports over 90% of games on the market today*
Using Game Jackal eliminates the need to insert the CD-ROM before playing your favorite title, therefore allowing you to fire up your favorite game in seconds.

Unleash your games and go gaming "cd free" in seconds
Game Jackal provides the user with a powerful and easy to use interface to go gaming "cd free". It does this without modifying any of your game's files or installing any virtual drives on your system. Simply select the game you want to play from the Game Jackal interface, or create a desktop shortcut for even faster access.

Image mode (NEW! for v2.8)
Image mode adds support for games that need to stream data directly from the CD or DVD during game play.

Keep young eyes from playing games that may not right for them
Game Jackal comes complete with a feature called Guardian Control, this feature allows restrictions to be placed on game profiles.

Young gamers can make short work of a game CD
Being able to pack away the game CD has proven to be extremely popular with parents of young gamers, where a game can be destroyed in weeks!

There's no other product like it
The simple fact is that Game Jackal stands alone. There's no other product on the market that delivers the flexibility and functionality that Game Jackal provides.

Game Jackal Highlights
