Yep. Soundtrack from the one only Alex Brandon ... if you didn't know he was the composer for Deus Ex and Unreal Tournament 99. His music is just something else!
WHY on Earth does Epic not re-release this on consoles?! One of the best platformers of all time. And that legendary soundtrack. It's free money, PLEASE do it Epic!
The game originally lost money (came out at the wrong time when everybody wanted 3d and gritty edginess and not cartoon animals). Cliff Bleszinski likes Jazz Jackrabbit but I don't think there's the right sway...
Because games were made with more passion back in those days. It’s a game made by Epic Games. The same company made Unreal Tournament and made Fortnite
Basically, they fired all the old peeps, and hired all the young guys, thinking that their fresh new degrees could compensate for decades of experience while paying them less. It's the main reason the IT industry changed so much from the 90s to the 2010s. There was a lot of older folks complaining that employers would just always employ younger folks. Everyone kinda ignored them, but now we're seeing the effects... To be honest, games made now-ish are getting okay, with a lot of details put in; that's either due to the young people been employed for 10 years now, or due to RUclips and where lack of detail would be severely bashed upon because it's now in the spotlight
Because its more easier to trick people now with the internet, while back then you had to actually grab the attention when you bought a physical disc in stores. Otherwise you would just not care.
I agree. This was at the end of the magical golden days of PC gaming. The earlier DOS Jazz Games were great as well. Everything now is too corporate. Steam, Lucas Arts and Sony have added nothing in terms of atmosphere. Do you remember Simon The Sorcerer 1 & 2?
I disagree. There are some great immersive games nowadays that aren't just made for cashgrabs and microtransactions. Prey and dishonored for example are simply amazing for me.
I remember downloading the demo for this on a dial-up connection, after almost 3 hours long and at 97%, I accidentally hit cancel. It was quite traumatic.
This video game is a pure masterpiece! • Fun and superbly well-designed gameplay; • Beautifully well composed and catchy music; • Jazz always so hilarious and irreproachable to play. I always enjoy playing it! Congratulations and thank you for this nostalgic moment!

It’s the year 2000. You woke up feeling a little queasy and convinced your mom to let you call in sick to school. She just left to do errands, you go to the computer room and fire up Jazz Jackrabbit. Life is good.

Al82: Retrogaming & Computing is there a secret files version of this jj2+ project? I have the original secret files v1.24 on my win7 laptop. It runs fine with compatibility mode only crashes once or twice. The most annoying thing is the 640x480 resolution on an hd 16:9 screen is awful now lol. Any help? Also the secret files version has 2 full episodes more than this.
Creator listened to its music during dev streams and also has stated the noise would sound like jazz jackrabbit I think it's safe to say mcpig liked it
this game comes from my country. the netherlands. probably one of the most underrated games ever. but the fanbase is still there. played this as a child alot at my friends house. and i had rayman my self at home. both child hood games of mine. it was jazz jackrabbit 1 and 2 Rayman 1 2 and 3. and Doom 1 and 2. o and dont forget Descent 1 and 2 as well. that was pretty much my child hood haha
I am 35 and hadn't thought of this game in probably 25 years until I saw Cliff Bleszinski angrily posting his resume this week after people claimed 'the only thing he worked on was Gears of War' - only to find that he actually worked on this.

Best part of this game is how you can create your own map using one of the app installed along the main game. Kinda gave my young self some experience in programming
Nice longplay. I would say it brings back old memories, but if we're being honest I still play Jazz pretty much every year. :) Can anyone tell me why the title screen is different from my copy? For reference, mine has Jazz and Spaz together, and I've got a US copy from '98.
Oh ok cool! Did that also mod also add the stars during the Sugar Rush and the vortex-style sky in the Wonderland levels? I've never seen those effects before.

@@FootLettuce Yes beautiful times tbh :D I remember when I was playing it with my bro at our first PC ever when we were little and everybody was home, it was truly best feeling ever when I think of that < 3
What makes this gameplay special is that it has no commentary so we can enjoy this INSANELY good soundtrack 💜 I'm dying of nostalgia now, this game made my childhood back in the late 90's 💜
Played this for several hours back in the day along with NHL 99 and Turok 2. As many have said in the comments, brings back too many memories. Never beat the game cuz I was only 5 and sucked at games back then haha
Dublagens Perdidas if its a windows emulator then ill try but ive watched the video it seems that i need an actual copy of xp or some source files on my machine to work? How am I gonna get that in 2017? I have a win7 laptop and starting to have a few crash issues. Its still running fine with xp compatibility mode but the most annoying thing is the old 640x480 on an hd 16:9 screen isnt looking great
