The standalone version's here, at a cost of 22Mb, or if you have the original Jazz 2 installed, you can grab the teeny one. Size 43.46 MB Works under: Windows 8 Program available in English Program by Epic Megagames Review Screenshots Comments There are a lot of cool, nostalgic games from consoles and PC that are making a big comeback for a modern market, like the 1990s classic Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Oddly, I experienced some nasty slowdown, which is either an incompatibility with Windows 7 or something, or 6Gb of RAM isn't enough to run a platform game from 1998. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was created by Epic Games and released for the PC in 1998 and proved to be. As I didn't, I can't usefully comment on how it compares to the originals. As in, idle curiosity probably isn't worth indulging - this is likely only for those who played Jazz 1/2 to death, I suspect.

On November 30, 2017, it was re-released on GOG.com along with the first game.

It's pretty enough despite the low resolution, but very early 90s in its presentation, music and mechanics. It was released for Windows, and later for Macintosh. Regardless, it's up on Moddb and it features four new Jazz levels, playable as the green manrabbit himself, his sister Lori or, yes, Spaz. I'm not entirely sure which side of the legal grey zone this falls on, as it can be played without owning Jazz 2. Everything has its fans, of course - and that's why, improbably, Jazz Jackrabbit 2.5 exists. It was huge in 1994 because the PC really didn't get many of the platformers that were utterly pervasive on the SNES and Megadrive, but 1998's Spaz-co-starring sequel was the lurid lagomorph's last gasp, bar an unnsuccessful Gameboy Advance jobbie in 2002. The gifts you've given us over the years.Īnyway, the retromancers amongst you may be interested to fiddle with this fan-made semi-sequel to Epic's old Sonic rival. I was not previously aware that 90s platformer Jazz Jackrabbit 2 featured the titular bunny's brother, a bug-eyed, drooling loon called - their name, not mine - 'Spaz.'
