  1. Woke up suddenly thinking about #JazzJackrabbit.

    Y'all, I don't think he was designed by #furries. He just doesn't have that #furry look to him.

    Also when I looked up all three of the people credited for creating the series, none of them seem to be furries.

    Does anyone have any evidence that they might be furries, to throw doubt on my hypothesis?

  2. OpenJazz – Jazz Jackrabbit – Released for AmigaOS 4

    Hi there,

    Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

    When I visited OS4Depot today, I noticed that George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero had released a new game port for AmigaOS 4. This time he brought over Jazz Jackrabbit to the platform! This is a fun and entertaining platform game series that was created and started by Epic Megagames back in 1994. After the first game, others in the series followed such as Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Jazz Jackrabbit 3. You can read more about this on Wikipedia.

    Walkero writes in the documentation:

    This is the port of openjazz to AmigaOS 4.

    OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit(TM)
    games.

    To play, you will need the files from one of the original games.

    With the demise of DOS-based operating systems, it has become necessary to use
    emulators to play old DOS games. Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) deserves more – and would
    benefit greatly from new features.

    Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) is a PC platform game. Produced by Epic Games (then Epic
    MegaGames), it was first released in 1994. The fast-paced, colourful gameplay
    proved popular, and the game won PC Format’s Arcade Game of the Year award.
    Many people still fondly recall the shareware versions.

    If you want to download the AmigaOS 4 port, please head over to OS4Depot by clicking here.

    Keep in mind that you’ll need the data files. Walkero has tested the port with the data files from the games from GOG (Good Old Games). They currently have a -84% discount on the Jazz Jackrabbit Collection right now if you are interested. 🙂

    Thanks for reading. See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog!

  6. Ultra Force was een onderdeel van de PC demoscene. We kunnen het, voor een gedeelte, zien als de bakermat van Jazz Jackrabbit. Maar waarom is dat zo? In dit nieuwe artikel lees je over de geschiedenis van de demoscene en deze Nederlandse demogroep.

  7. Ik was te gast bij de @dosgameclub podcast om mee te praten over Jazz Jackrabbit. In de podcast vertel ik over mijn ervaringen met de game en over geschiedenis van de ontwikkeling van de game. Ik werk op dit moment aan een artikel over de game.
