Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is really an impressive game for it’s time. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 lacked popularity for some reason but I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and the rest of the series in high school. I was first seriously introduced to the original jazz jackrabbit for the first time at my ex girlfriend’s house. I saw her dad playing the game every evening I came to pick her up. (He was too preoccupied to interrogate me much and seemed to be oblivious every time she left.
) Then I had to come over for dinner and somehow we ended up playing jazz jackrabbit.
I went out and bought the game a week later and I recently found an empty CD case and still have all the original 3.25 floppies(big 10+ disk set.) But yeah the original ran my 286 and I remember playing this one on my first Pentium. The graphics are at least as good as any other game of the time and the game play involved is entertaining to the last level. My friends all liked the game as well and were impressed every time I pulled it up on my 26” CRT. It used less HD space then most other games of the
time and the expansions seemed to me a new concept of the time and were actually good unlike a lot of what I see today. From what I understand this game also had a lot of history with epic in development stages. This is not only a great game for playing but also has a place in dos game history and should be preserved.
I am an old game/emulator lover and have great respect for this and think it is one of the best early games ever. I remember skipping football games and parties and staying up all night long playing this game and timing how fast I could get through the level while still getting all the secrets and going to all the bonus stages. Recently I have been known to load it up on my core duo laptop and use up both 9 cell batteries with lots of JJRBT time. So yeah don’t do your homework or office work and say jazz jackrabbit let you down or ate your homework/computer. This game had top ratings in it’s time and pretty much rocks. So download it now and I am out of things to say. But yeah great game, lots of game play, defiantly worth the download. So download it now.
