One of the best DOS era platformers. Jazz has everything you would want from a game of the time or even now: - Smooth controls (though it takes a little adjusting to momentum) - Variety in enemies, weapons and powerups - Colourful and clear VGA graphics with a strong theme for each level - A 3D minigame?! Although the bonus levels have aged worse than the rest of the game, unfortunately. - A princess to rescue and an evil turtle to defeat. - A soundtrack that, like the other Epic games of the 90s, still has me listening to it now. While JJ2 was also a strong game, the original is fun, frantic and fast and stands firmly on it's own. It's 4 episodes of running, gunning, and hunting for secrets and bonuses. Worth a play for any age. This and Toxic Bunny are what cemented bunnies as badasses for me.
Zombie Shooter 2 epitomises the best and worst of isometric shooters. It's glitchy, badly optimised and horribly pixelated (also I suggest you turn off the voices). But what it does right it does great. A huge variety of (very satisfying weapons) backed up by a pumping (if repetitive) soundtrack help you mow through horde after horde of progressively nastier undead. It's pure mindless, bloody carnage and I love every minute of it.
Zombie shooter does many things wrong - glitchy levels and rather poor graphics even for the time. But it does exactly what it sets out to do - you kill hordes of zombies with over the top weapons and it's just raw, viscerally fun.
The only reason I haven't gotten back into Populous was it's horrible support for any new PC... with this, my happiness level has risen exponentially. For those new to the series, Populous is a combination of RTS and God Game, with you as a powerful Shaman leading a tribe to glory. The gameplay is quite innovative even compared to modern games, and the sheer variety of maps and available methods of winning are astounding.
