Jazz Jackrabbit Collection

Such a great game, wish there was a third sequel.

Because the PC was it's own thing in the sphere of 1990s gaming, you seldom saw ports of popular console franchises. Instead you'd get someone's attempt at making their own version of a coveted game. Jazz Jackrabbit was Epic Megagames' attempt at Sonic the Hedgehog for the PC, but with some new elements like gunplay through into the mix. The end result is spectacular.

The game is fucking great and definitely one of the best 2D platformers out there, but there two problems that I personally have the GOG release of this and those the price being way too much for me, and the fact that the GOG release of this release is both incompatible with Windows XP and that it demands the use of a DirectX compatible 3D video card which is just completely stupid to because not only do all CD and floppy disk versions of the Jazz Jackrabbit games run perfectly fine under Windows XP, but also none of the Jazz Jackrabbit games for PC, at least to my current knowledge anyway, demand the use of a DirectX compatible 3D video card.

The game does not work (out of the box) on M-Series Mac.

As someone that only played Jazz 2 until now. This game is really fun. And I can see why some choices of Jazz 2 were made for improvements over Jazz 1.
