Jazz Jackrabbit Collection

Both Jazz 1 & 2 are FANTASTIC games. The price tag however is forbidding.

I played this game on an ibm in ms-dos operating system. I still remember the sample floppy disk. I passed the first level about 100 times. The music and the mix between sonic and mario, with a cartoon aesthetic I loved it and, until now, it continues to surprise me. Those were other times, without a doubt.

So i revisited this game after many years. Kids are old enough to play, so it's nice. They get to play the bunny game. Well, it went alright, they like Jazz2 a lot more. Screen is a little tight so things come at you to quick when you run. If this is the only game you have (and it was for me for a long time) then you deal with it, now it's only nostalgia that remains.

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.

I love the fact that GOG rescue Jazz Jackrabbit. As a kid i always played the sequel but this title i played in 2018. Good game with a great soundtrack. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is much better in everything, but this is a must have
