Jackal: commented disassembly of the NES game

This is a commented disassembly of Jackal for the NES. Graphical data is omitted. With ASM6n and the original ROM supplied as input, the code assembles back to that ROM. Version 1.0 says the enemy logic and the main bank are documented, and that the sound engine in bank 0 still needs work. The ROM layout is in Main.asm.
