Jazz Jackrabbit Collection

On Fedora 39 I had to do the following to make the game run: 1) Download `libFLAC.so.8` to `game/dosbox/libs/x86_64/` 2) Set `usescancodes=false` in `game/dosbox_jazz.conf` After this, the game runs fine. Saving a game shows a blank line in the saves list, but loads successfully.

It's an alien space rabbit with a laser gun. Floppy bunny ears and face-paced action, how can you possibly go wrong? The story is simple: You hand it to those pesky, goodie-two-shoes turtles with their "slow and steady wins the race" crap. Eat hot lasers, shell-freaks! If this doesn't sell it to you, nothing will. Except, "selling": We must talk about the elephant in the room. Jazz Jackrabbit 1 Turtle Terror and Holiday Hare 94 and 95 are all FREE Shareware titles. You can play them online or offline any time you want, you don't have to pay. The free editions give you roughly 8 levels plus 3 bonus levels to beat, and will keep you busy for about 3 hours. If all you want is a quick game for nostalgic reasons, the free version might be sufficient. You only ever need the collection, if you absolutely can't get enough space rabbit goodness, and feel you absolutely have to own ALL 9+2 episodes with 81 regular and 30 bonus levels, and approx. 30hours of content. It all comes down to the question: How much rabbit do YOU want?

An Ok platformer for PC. Back when there were few games of these kind for PC, this was quite unique. However, although It looks and sounds good, the controls and level design aren't the best, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a certain degree of nostalgia for it.

I first played this game as a child in the 90's. All these years later, it still holds up!

Great retro game, side scroller, for those who want a little nostalgia.
