There's just something about the nostalgia factor with a game that cannot be overstated.

You've veen warned.There are a lot of cool, nostalgic games from consoles and PC that are making a big comeback for a modern market, like the 1990s classic Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Want to see me take on some cool custom level? Interested in multiplayer matches? Got any questions or something else you think would contribute to the thread?

Jazz jackrabbit 2 update#
I'll try to update this weekly at least, probably around the weekends. I know a lot of people like Jazz Jackrabbit 1 too and I'll admit it has its charm, but Jazz Jackrabbit 2 improves it in every possible way and I enjoy it a lot more than its predecessor. By no means a perfect run, but I'll try to explore the levels thoroughly and show off all the secrets within, and hopefully make this a wholesome experience for us all. While I do want to show off as much as I can, I'm much more experienced with playing as Jazz which is why I'll use him for most of the game. Me and Paul.Power will commentate on the videos, I may get other guests occasionally.
I'll take Jazz through all the standard episodes, Spaz through Secret Files and Lori through Christmas Chronicles.
I'll be playing through all the singleplayer episodes on Hard difficulty, including expansions. Two expansion packs were also released: Christmas Chronicles, a free holiday-based level pack and Secret Files, with an improved game engine, a new character called Lori and a whole new singleplayer episode. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was released in 1998 by Epic Megagames (now just Epic Games) and Orange Games, packed with 30 singleplayer levels split among 5 episodes, a new character called Spaz, full multiplayer support, a level editor and a whole slew of extra features compared to its predecessor. Inspired by the various console platformers of the time like Mario, Sonic and Mega Man, Jazz Jackrabbit became a staple of the PC platforming genre.
