The game feels like a mix of the most popular games of its era.

Very polished and graphically pleasing for its time It is often likened to the EarthWorm Jim games that were a big hit on consoles at the time. It has a very distinct 90s charm, right down to the graphics, gameplay and music. It was special at the time because few side-scrolling platform games were built for the PC in the 90s, since most developers built them for consoles. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was created by Epic Games and released for the PC in 1998. I have found no ordering information for this game.Swati Mishra Updated 9 months ago A 1998 console game that was built for the PC Patches Jazz Jackrabbit ATI video card patch for corrupt setup display (64,578 bytes) Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare Episode X shareware episode (1,437,899 bytes) Jazz Jackrabbit v1.0 Shareware Episode (1,417,337 bytes)Įxtras Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare 1995 Episode X shareware episode (1,440,508 bytes)

Episode X (originally released as the standalone Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare demo in 1994) was added in version 1.3. Originally, episodes 1-3 and 4-6 could be purchased separately, and three new episodes, A-C, were added in the CD-ROM version, Jazz Jackrabbit CD. The graphics and sound are excellent, and Jazz Jackrabbit is generally regarded as one of the best DOS games ever. He's also a great jumper, so perhaps he's Sonic, Mario, and Duke Nukem rolled into one. Finally, Jazz carries a big gun and finds many different kinds of ammo. There are a lot of items to collect, which requires extensive exploration, something that Sonic wouldn't have time for.

Being a rabbit, Jazz can run fast, and speed is a major component of the game, warranting instant comparison to Sonic the Hedgehog.

Jazz Jackrabbit is a combination of several styles of platform game.
