- Holiday Hare '98 saw plenty of distribution as a glorified demo for Epic's Jazz Jackrabbit 2. But a year later came this limited release sold exclusively in Europe, featuring a new character: Lori Jackrabbit!

You either die a game reviewer, or live long enough to see yourself become the clone.
The ending: 10/10. Would Christmas again.
That was profound #_# I'm a bit scared now.
I came here to make a witty comment, I see i did a pretty great job! Oh wait, That Wasn't Me! Crap..
Christmas!
Agreed! Hopefully he doing this again. 👌
Oh crap. Am I a clone too?
YES! Yes indeed :)
Lol :-D
Hold on! You're a different channel. No wonder I couldn't find your sandwich videos on your regular channel.
Let the LGR horror movie begin.
Is Clint pulling out the Deep Lore for breaking 1 Million Subs?
The lore is getting immense.

Will this be canonical?
Fun Fact: Lori Jackrabbit was designed by Dean “Noogy” Dodrill and John MacLellan.
The former of which also animated the intro cinematic of Jazz 2 and later went on to create “Dust: An Elysian Tail”.
Now that you say it, I can definitely see it.
Another fun fact: There's Lori Jackrabbit porn out there drawn by the original designers.
@@xnagytibor Hey, at least you know it's in-character!
@@xnagytibor I'd be tempted to double check that, but I'm giving it a pass.
@@xnagytibor That's not fun at all!!!
Oh boy... we got some possible deep LGR lore. Could this be some type of origin story?
I hope so. I've never really understood the whole clone thing. It'd be nice to be up to speed with everybody else lmao
@Paddy O'Prey which one is that?
7:06 "I'm almost more fond of the incomplete demos"... It certainly didn't help that most shareware-focused companies tended to put their best material in the demo\shareware version, with the full game often feeling like kind of a letdown. Not always, of course. But too often.
Never seen that... More like the demo was good and the next episodes where to much of the same, like in Crystal Caves or Secret Agent of apogee
So basicly E3 trailers?
@@KORUPTable Thank you! I think I had the christmas JJ2.. Or one of those holiday platfomers, can't remember which one since it was 15+ years ago.. But meow I can see if I can find anything that I had.

SCP-LGR
class: euclid.
Discription: SCP-LGR is a man who reviews old computer media who's anomalous effects takes place during December.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Class: Eucltide
SCP-LGR-1
class: euclid
description: during the month of December, SCP-LGR appears to clone itself, these clones (henceforth SCP-LGR-1) seem to be obsessed with the seasonal holiday, saying only the word [DATA EXPUNGED] in a strange inflection. sometimes the clones themselves are anomolous, appearing to be a perfect copy of SCP-LGR, however, if it says or hears the word [DATA EXPUNGED] at any point, it will reveal its true nature as an instance of SCP-LGR-1
the clones are creepy and unnerving, but apparently rather harmless, though further observation is required to know for sure.
But can SCP-LGR kill the unkillable lizard?
@@mcFreaki
Report SCP-LGR Observations [DATA EXPUNGED]/12/18.
Researcher: Dr. Silverstein
Notes: SCP-LGR was drugged and taken to a mockup of their house in facility [DATA EXPUNGED] where they were left with a modified version of a game they had shown a lot of respect and nostalgia for, filled with Christmas references. Upon noticing the game box on the desk, SCP-LGR immediately started recording a video about the game in the style of the RUclipsr [DATA EXPUNGED] during the editing of which, he seemed completely unable to recall playing it, but knew enough about the game to make a full video. Unfortunately, during this process [DATA EXPUNGED] thus creating a new SCP-LGR-1. This, however, was the first time that the creation of an SCP-LGR-1 was recorded, proving the theory about the process being completely unnoticeable to SCP-LGR himself, who appears only vaguely aware of the very existence of SCP-LGR-1 at times. Any new instances of SCP-LGR-1 are to be used to test against other SCPs, as was decided after an SCP-LGR-1 escaped and managed to make a full review of SCP-687 while showing none of its usual side effects.
For me, I think enjoying the demos more than the complete game was mostly because the screenshots of new enemies and levels let your imagination fill in the blanks and make things more impressive then they could ever be. Monster Bash showed enemies like a witch with a bazooka, a monster plane and a troll and I'd spend time thinking what their attacks would be like and how they'd behave in game.
Very true
That's what happened to me while looking at the screenshots at 7:03. I enjoyed the full game a lot too, but my imagination was better. :P
The Christmas was coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE all along!
Oh, that ending.

That's some creepypasta content! (Is creepypasta dead?)
I'm guessing its not over yet lol.
"I don't remember recording this footage..." man, that gave me the chills
I love you LGR, been watching you for years.
Project Two was part of a company called PMR. The M stood for Maarten, whom is my uncle. One of the founders of Project Two. Thanks to him I got Jazz Jackrabbit 2 The Secret Files back in the day :)
Dosgamert Damn all I had was an uncle who worked for Nintendo and all I got from him were useless rumors
So many shows are getting continuity and lore. I like the LGR Lore

"No, Clint. You are the clone."
And then Clint was Crimmas.
I fear this may not even be his final form, I theorise that clone Clint will surpass us all in terms of physical and psychological strength to a point where we will be powerless to stop him, and that he will enslave the whole of humanity for all eternity, damning us to lives that consist of nothing more than reviewing old Christmas games. Our only chance of survival, and the only one capable of defeating him in his current state is the original Clint, who has been confirmed missing for the last few days, likely to have been kidnapped by the clone if this video has any validity. It is estimated that we only have until new-years-day to free Clint and form an army against the clone menace.
May God have mercy on our souls.
Oh no LGR is losing his memory! We need another 64gb of DDR 4 ram stat!!!
inject him directly!

"I'm almost more fond of the incomplete demos than I am of the full versions of some of these games."
Yeah I can understand that, I remember the Starcraft 1 demo which was specifically designed to tease you with new and powerful units like the goliath and the firebat. Playing that demo it felt like anything was possible in the full game and it could stretch out to an unknown distance in any direction, I'd see a goliath and a firebat and think about what stronger units could be in the full game. I still love Starcraft 1 but nothing could live up to that infinite seeming mass of charged potential the demo handed me.
Finally someone mentions this game from my childhood. Never seen anyone talk about it before.
And now I have to wait an entire year to know what's gonna happen with the Christmas clone! I genuinely wait each year for those sketches!
CoTeCiOtm Xmas scenes are the pinnacle of the lgr creative machine agreed
What if Christmas Clone has taken over and trapped Clint and we won’t know until next year? SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAVE CLINT!
The reason why I watch this channel is I get something new, genuinely funny, microscopic, analytical, justified and substantial. Always entertaining this beats the the BBC every Christmas let alone throughout the year. Thanks Clint.
Is it me, or I can definitely see a face of your clone on the SONY monitor at 00:15?
Not to mention a hat on top that's not there mere seconds before...
Good eye homie
Has...has there been some weird Prestige shit going on that I never noticed?
This is fun to see! I was an intern at Project 2 interactive back then and illustrated that cover :D
Thanks for sharing this! LGR! :D
Mate LGR. I don't claim to watch every single one of your videos but to me you are youtube. When I'm lost as to what I would like to watch, I pop in "LGR" into the search bar and proceed from there. When I do stop by, I always get exactly what is expected, good consistent content that is just calm and comfortable. It's like comfort food that's healthy. Might not taste as good as some exotic 300$ dish, but it's what people live off of and what ultimately they strive for in food.
Wore my Kikagaku Moyo shirt for the first time in forever today, and was really happy to see a record by them on your wall at the end. Such a great band!
PLOT TWIST AT THE END HOLY EFF.
So...Boxing day clone is really just the larval stage of Christmas clone. Interesting.
Really love how you're developing your Christmas clone gag. This is hilarious!
Man, I remember when my family bought our first Packard Bell...there were SO many demo discs and other goodies my head spun at 12...Jazz Jackrabbit was some shareware I LOVED. So many times I wanted to ask for them to order the actual game but was too young to understand much of it. Appreciate the nostalgia trip!
We both played the shareware version of Jazz 2 over and over - still remember the music from looking at screenshots. Love your reviews man, keep it up and have a great 2019!
imagine having the whole next year of lgr being hosted exclusively by the x mas clon
Holds up shiny big box with foldouts: "Christmas!"
Displays jewel case and flips through manual: "Christmaaaaas!"
Shows main menu and options: "Hahaha heeheehee"
Shows gameplay: "Christmas!"
Heck, I'd still watch every episode.
Man this just hits me in the feels Jazz was my platformer like I have no attachment to Mario, Crash etc no for me it was always Jazz and still is whenever I see these games it just makes me smile.
Awesome work mate! I loved seeing the old intro again! My mate and I were talking about how we missed it
Thanks for inadvertently making me aware of Kikagaku Moyo. I checked them out because I saw the "House in the Tall Grass" album on your wall behind you. It's really excellent stuff that I probably wouldn't have otherwise found on my own
*Nice.*
@@LGR Yeah man, I sincerely appreciate it.
Bahahah that ending made me lose my shiz. Love it good sir, I've been watching since the beginning. You've come so far.
Is this lore?
Is this SiIvaGunner?
And the clone actually LOVES the Jumpstart 1st grade theme song! 😂
Thank you for all you have created Mr. Lgr. Everything you do and the time you take is enjoyed and loved by many. HAPPY HOLIDAYS !
Glad to see you having more fun with Christmas Clint. It's a nice gag, but with so much more potential. I'm looking forward to what else comes of him.
Ah, the good old Jazz 2. Got the full version pre-installed with my first PC. Played it a lot when I was a kid. One of my favorite platformers.
I’m loving the new stuff. Clones & that intro. Glad the can of soda is back. Keep up the great stuff
The original boxed games now command a huge price. Your collection of Jazz games is worth a small(ish) fortune. Merry Christmas to you and your clone(s). Really spooky ending there.
Happy New Year to LGR. I really appreciate these doses of nostalgia!
Playing shareware DOS and early windows release games was my childhood. You end up learning every nook and cranny of the levels. I've been toying with the idea of streaming some of those old games on Twitch finally playing through the full version of games I never had.
Side note, I'm confident music is 80% of why games are remembered fondly. Every good game seems to have had awesome music.
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is my childhood.
LGR review with a tad of mystery and plot twist... nice!
Here I am trying to pretend I am working and I crack up like a crazy person at the 1:29 mark.
*CHRISTMAS!*
LGR Christmas coming to an end sends me into a deep spiraling depression that will not lift until December 2019.
Christmas Clint creeping in from an unfocused background, epic. Loved the ending too!
Man, what a channel, thanks for all the work you put in here. And happy holidays.
Uh excuse me Clint but Lori can't be the sister of Jazz and Spaz because they're cousins haha
Edit: Apparently I've been wrong since the 90's
www.jazz2online.com/wiki/Lori_Jackrabbit#h-2
@@LGR Oh wow I was wrong all of these years... I always thought they were cousins. Great video by the way!
The clone Santa hat and the faint image of his face on the TV suddenly showing up was truly terrifying.
At this point you could make a movie out of your Christmas clones and it would make a good horror one at that.
"I'm almost more fond of the incomplete demos than I am than the full versions of some of these games."
Can relate hard with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and that teaser screen plus music.
i noticed you in the backround when you were holding up the case. by the way, me and my family are pretty much having christmas today sinc we were sick. you uploaded this at the perfect time.
It's nice that you've filmed your house and seeing the PC game shelf again.
One thing worth noting about the Christmas Chronicles' release is that Project 2 Interactive went under around the time TCC was supposed to come out. The actual release was handled by LK Avalon, the Polish distributor of Jazz Jackrabbit.
I'm amazed at your memory. I can't remember any of this stuff until you present it.
Finally, a new episode of Televoid.
Your reviews are turning into cinematic masterpieces.
Happy New Year mate and thanks for all ur videos 👍
I share your love for the demo versions. Never even finished the full version of Jazz when I finally got it.
I have the exact same feeling in regards to demo's vs full games, since I also only had access to the demo's back in the nineties. The thought of ever owning the full game had such a bigger impact compared to when I finally got ahold of some of the games in full version. Like with One Must Fall, I lusted to try the Pyros bot and flails, after only having access to the initial three, but when I finally got it, it didn't have the impact I would have thought. Oh well. Thanks for yet another splendid trip down memory lane.
Fun fact! The cinematic animation for Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was made by Dean Dodrill, who you might know as the near-one-mand-band behind Dust: An Elysian Tale.
Congrats for 1mil subs. Hope you and your clones have a nice year.
Christmas Clint's cackle-wheeze really gave me the chills. My theory is that CC sabotaged the lazy green giant to distract Clint from the impending takeover. Fan mythology is the best mythology.
The original Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Christmas demo was the first videogame I ever played. :-)
What a charming series!
I have Childhood Flashbacks!
Could this channel get any better?
Probably but, who cares? The awesomeness that is LGR cannot be understated!
You're taking new year new me to a whole new level with that ending lol
I love how this channel has some deep lore in December. I wish there was more to follow otherwise because all the small things make this video for me. I've rewatched it like 4 times now and find something new everytime. Wouldn't mind videos like this outside of December.
I lived way out in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky so I never had much opportunity to play some of these games but I remember playing that original Jazz Jackrabbit demo to the point I could just breeze through with little effort. That and Jill of the Jungle were awesome. I loved those old doss games, Red Baron/A10 Tank killer were some of my faves! played em on the ol' Tandy machine.
The demo fondness definitely resonates with me, when I got my OG PlayStation, it came with the demo disc #6, teasing what actually turned out to be great games, such as Crash Bandicoot 2 (the first snow stage which actually behaves like an introductory stage considering it's the second one in the full game), Tomb Raider 2 (the first half of the first level, that darned tiger killed me more times than I remember), Gex 2, Bloody Roar and Hot Shots Golf.
A year later, my sister who lived in the US at the time brought me a Pizza Hut demo disc that had even more amazing games, like MediEvil (one of my absolute favorites from the PS1), Metal Gear Solid, Crash 3 and Tomb Raider 3. I either bought, rented or ended up playing all of them, but without magazines or TV shows covering PS1 games, demo discs were a godsend for me.
Even on PC, I have more fond memories of playing the Quake 3 demo than the actual full game!
Awesome Christmas game, we love the Jazz Jackrabbit games :) Hope you had a great Christmas!
I friggin adored this game back in the day. Jazz Jackrabbit that is. I don’t remember if I ever played this Christmas version or not
That ending reminds me of Nygma in the series Gotham, which was easily the best story arc of the show, bravo LGR :)
dude! love the ending :) can't wait to see some more LGR clone lore :P haha! awesome review as always. Merry Xmas Clint :)
Merry Christmas to you and your clone, the ending got me lol.
...so that's how evil clones are made.
They're possessed by Christmas Spirit, I should've known.
Fusion is complete. Christmas in July is next. CHRISTMAAAAAAASSSS!
I'm just so excited to see the lore behind the Clint Christmas Clone get deeper and deeper.
I fully expect a feature length action movie in the future where one such clone is accidentally programmed with Duke Nukem's personality, and he and the actual Clint team up to shut down the cloning operation (which we learn is run by none other than...)
Never seen Jazz Jackrabbit before - this looks *awesome*. I *will* be heading over to GOG for these. Thanks for sharing the 2D platforming goodness, Clint.
That distortion effect at the end was super effective! My pc crashed right there! O.o
Nice review! I bought Christmas Chronicles back in the day and still own the big box. I remember the store in my town had stacks of them on sale as it wasn't too popular unfortunately, but incredibly rare today.
1:29 freaked me out. "WHOSE HOLDING THE BOX?!" Is what I was thinking. Then I remembered about camera trickery
Love that ending man! Thanks for the great year of content!
Thank you LGR, much appreciated review. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 nice parallax scrolling!
The way these Christmas specials are getting creepier... one of these years a crossover with Ashens would be fitting.
Oh no, the clone entering his spirit at 8:12. *That's not a good sign…* 😦
Christmas LGR was not just a tulpa for holiday spirits after all, but a doppelganger in waiting
I guess we have just got to let go until next year huh? I have enjoyed your input this year, it has been a good 'un . Happy New Year!
I have some very fond memories of playing and re-playing various shareware and demo games, primarily from cover-discs, during my childhood. I think that the original Jazz Jackrabbit was there, amongst a great many other games. ^_^
Why do I feel like I've just watched an episode of Black Mirror?
7:58
Clint's vintage hifi setup looks so bad-ass with all those knobs & assumable pre-amp or headphone amp with tubes :D
3:16 to 3:38
And now we know who was the actual inspiration for a lot of BGMs for most of the late 1990s and early 2000s Asian MMOs.
i can't believe i have to wait another YEAR for more LGR christmas specials! went by too fast!!!
I loved the Jazz Jackrabbits games when I was young.
7:00 I too am so nostalgic about demo discs, shareware etc. SO MUCH of my childhood gaming, was just demos and shareware. Play demo, read about the full game knowing you probably won't play it, double click the demo.exe and play the level again! Good times. Remember downloading demo's on dial-up? *returns after 3 days, download at 90%*
A man after my own heart.
As a kid who also grew up poor and without game consoles, I watched the ads for the amazing new Pentium III and watched "The Screen Savers" on TechTV building cool 'gaming PC's for LAN parties while I downloaded demos from Demoland.com for my Packard Bell 486.
To give you a sense of just how long I nursed that PB 486 along; in High School I got a part time job, and bought an AMD Sempron 3000+ powered eMachines computer, slapped in an ATi Radeon x1650 Pro AGP graphics card, and melted my face off playing Oblivion. Yep-- I went from 486 to playing Oblivion on high at 1024x768 on a CRT.
