Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection

a classic gem about sonic with megaman but its actually really good and one of the best games soundtracks of all time imo, its unfortunate that this series died so quickly.

it says Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) only. but i know it ran already on a pentium-ii 333mhz with only 64mb ram (system memory) in the 90s even with a 4mb video ram video card. (and back then, it ran on windows 98 flawlessly in 800x600) (as i assume it is the same-untouched- version of this game since the 90s) i just installed it on a windows xp pc with the gog offline installer and it runs just fine. no probs. windows xp, so not even windows vista. i have seen these specs often not really matching the results/physical situation.. you (gog) often write there are higher specs neccessary for a game than what is the case. nevertheless, it is a great game

I grew up on the original Jazz Jackrabbit; it was a big part of my life back in the late 90's. When this game (Jazz Jackrabbit 2) came out, it lacked the FEEL of JJ1's levels and music. As I got older, JJ2 got tossed into the "maybe one day" bin, and stayed there for over a decade. Then, in the mid 2000's, I gave it a genuine playthrough and discovered it was a really decent game! It can't ever compete with the memories of JJ1 I have, but JJ2 is technically BETTER in every way, even if the levels tend to feel a bit sprawling and empty at times. Overall, if you want to play a fast-paced action platformer, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything native to the PC that compares to JJ2.

The best childhood game I've been stuck in for a long time

I was waiting for this release since I started using GOG. I knew they can do it and will definitely revive the greatest platformer of all time. Starting up the game and walking through the options I was a bit afraid of the resolution (640 x 480) - for some reason I remebered it has higher resoltuion. The reason was that it still looks amazing. I play it on a full HD monitor with a new controller on a pretty new rig and it is still fantastic. This was the very first game I owned and run flawlessly on all my machines. I have to say, that it has aged very well. The gameplay might slightly remind some to its greatest competitor - Sonic the Hedgehog, but the atmosphere is totally different, in a good way of course. Fast paced action, with the ability to fiddle around the map or just run through. I also love the multiplayer, since this is one of the few games that has split screen co-op multi, besides the competitive. Great job EPIC and GOG!
