Jazz JackRabbit 2 - Mac

[Adrian M]

Does anyone remember this wonderful little 2D side scroller that found its way to the Mac (via Logicware, I believe) and possibly the PC?

I think it came out around 1997 or 1998 if I recall correctly and featured some excellent backgrounds, animation and play control vaguely reminsicent of Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis.

 

Did this game make it's way to any game consoles? Has anyone here played or heard of it for that matter?

Best PC platform game ever.

While you are on my block list, this topic is important.

I was a fan of the original JJ back in the day (I'd say '95 ish). I only had the demo, but that was more then enough for me. I remember waiting and waiting for the second one to come out, and I even remember the day I bought it at the Best Buy that has sense, changed location. Also, I had it on PC, I didn't even know it was out for the mac.

One of the best platformers ever, great baddies, weapons, and just the overall design of the thing was great. Also, I don't think it ever made it to the consoles. Although, there is one... marginal game that came out for GBA, but its nothing like the other two.

I downloaded the demo for it, but I ended up falling through the floor for no reason a couple of times, so I didn't buy it. Just a little too buggy.

I played jazz jack rabbit demo and the holiday demo. It was cool. Even had it on a novell network. Good game for a class of computer students in a middle school who was good.

 

I did purchase jazz jack rabbit 2 one day and it included the original jazz jack rabbit. The original ran in DOS and the rabbit 2 ran in windows. Jazz 2 runs mutiple player games on the internet.

 

Funny, I didn't know they had a mac verson.

 

It was a mix between sonic and super mario. Mostly sonic. Great music too.

 

Also helped sell alot of computer systems from 386 and up. Thank You Jazz Jack Rabbit.

I had this on my PC years ago. When I switched to the Mac, I couldn't play it anymore. I remember it used to be so freaking fun. I wish they'd port the two games to a console. I know there's a GBA Jazz game, but I'd rather it be on the Cube or Box.

 

As for the Ignore thing, everyone please grow up.

I played the rom of Jazz a while back for GBA, it doesn't hold a candle to the original at all.

Ya, I played the rom, so I didnt get suckered for 30 bucks

Yeah, I remember this back in my Windows 95 days. I think I got it off some classics compilation disc. I remember some sort of 3D racing part to it, though.

It was just a 3D running bonus stage actually.
