Hello, I just wanted to make a new thread about that bunny. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Are there any home-made levels can you recommend ?

Alrik.

EDIT : By the way , the Secret Files, how do I get over that windy area ? The storms seems to strong ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> (Secret Files Level 1)

I'll reinstall the game later and will tell you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

uh oh... just wait until Kejero reads this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Me is faster then Kejero <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

If you really want a gorgeous homemade level for this game you just have to try Tombrabit. I absolutly love it . It is one of the best homemadelevels I've ever seen . While you're playing you will be Overwhelmed by action and adeventure . You'll forget to sleep and to eat because it is sooo addictive. Not only the gameplay is a must also the graphics are wonderfull and you'll notice that this game is made by very talented developers who not only know what they are doing , but who also love their work .

here is the official tombrabbit website


Ah well that was a good desception no ? To be fair I have to say that I don't know Jazzrabbit and I never played it but hey , I just know that Tombrabbit can't be bad .If you have more questions I am sure that the developers will take some of their time to answer them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I looked into Tomb Rabbit <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> , and I must say that I found it quite difficult, at least at first glance.

Well, I'll see ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Any help ? With the Secret Files Storm (SFS) ?

IIRC you just jump. If you have spaz, it's double jump and for jazz, it's the ear helicopter.
Tried?

In the next minutes.

Managed it yesterday. With running and jumping it's manageable.

But imho some few parts are quite difficult, I 'd almost say unfair. Jumping parts.

Thank you Polgara for being such a dedicated "fan" *snif* I'm touched <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I made it through the Secret Files - for the first time ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

By the way, at the very end iof it, there is a sign reading : "go to www.project2.com" . What's this ? The Domain doesn't exist anymore ...

( I'm not 100 % sure whether it was .com or something else ...)

It was com. Although I didn't find the domain when I finished the game *shrug*.

"Project 2 Interactive", the team that made Jazz Jackrabbit, is no more. They were working on a Jazz 3D when it happened -- that project got cancelled. They're now called Project 3 Interactive (really <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ), and they've published a few games, one of them a Myst-clone, called Schizm. The new website is www.p3int.com

Thanks.

Say, Mr. Kej, what levels can you recommend except your own ones ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

What i have to do to get this game?

Has a place to download it?

Or i have to purchase from some store?


Looks very nice - i was really needing a new game.

I could search for it, but if some body already has the link.

Please - pm or post here.

Well, the company went bankcrupt and the game is abandonware material.

Download Jazz Jackrabbit 2 [Abandonware]
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Holiday Hare [Freeware]
Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files [Abandonware]


EDIT:
In case if you're wondered:

Abandonware, N.
Abandonware is computer software (such as an operating system, word processor, interactive game, or audio file) that is no longer marketed or distributed by the company that created it, but is obtainable from some other source. Some popular products that have been at least temporarily abandoned include NeXTStep, the operating system for the NeXT computer; OpenStep, its successor; and many interactive games that were replaced by more sophisticated products. In some cases, a company or Web site gets permission from the creator to distribute the abandoned program; but sometimes they don't. To use abandonware that you download, you often need a license string that the software recognizes as entitling the user to install it. In this case, the downloading site provides a license string that is known to work.
Abandonware is often provided as freeware or as priced shareware.

Yeah, I know what Abandonware is; however, it still remainds to me a "grey zone", unless the former developers explicitely give it free for download ...

I had no doubt you knew what was Abandonware. I put it for others.
Since JJ's developper no longer exists...

I think this kind of explication isn't necessary(right?).
You just have to put a link what works - is like alrik said i already knew this.
I have to go now, later i talk more

Hey, wait a minute - is you DATD? Yo man, i didn't read right yesterday - cause was with a different pic - coyote - btw thanks for the links.

Yup, it's me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

I'll try to change pics less often. In fact, my next pic might me my first: Elijah Snow again. But I will keep this one for a while: I like it.

Tell me if you liked the game(s).

Good to see you again, Shyon. Welcome back.

Aha!
Thanks for the info, Alrik.

Project 3

Personally I don't know many episodes I find really good, but then again I haven't played that many (50 at most <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ). I can think of only one that is really different from the pile, and that's The Lost World Epsisode by Ninja Dodo. It comes with some 3d cutscenes, which was pretty original. So I contacted Dodo, and in some distant future when Tomb rabbit 2 is released, there will be a Tomb rabbit 2 trailer released by the same guy -- yippie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As personal tastes are only personal, here's the list of custom levels etc. at Jazz2Online ordered by rating.
Obviously ordered by number of downloads gives a better idea of good levels *cough* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> *shrug* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Mind you, these are not only single player levels, but you can filter the list if you want.

Did you get this mail or did you get it from a forum or so? If it's from a forum, this info might be pretty dated. Pretty recently (half a year ago?) the GameBoy Advance version of Jazz Jackrabbit was released, an all new game making use of new animations (I guess Noogie wasn't available <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />) and partly new graphics. Not sure which team made the game, but if it's another team, it means Jazz was sold afterall. Either way, it looks like the bunny isn't burried just yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

wow. game looks cool.

I have to get the game yet, i'll wait an opotunity at my home.

I got this e-mail from the public relations department at Project 3.

I had a look at that Gameboy Advance version -- Project 2 (or 3) isn't mentioned anywhere, so I guess it isn't too hard to figure out what happened. From what I've seen, the name is the only thing this GBA platformer has in common with old Jazz. Apart from part of the graphics and music, but that's not what I'm talking about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Why don't you write an E-Mail to Epic ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And say what?

Simply asking what's going on with the game, if you can buy it, if there are new ones, who made the GBA version and so on . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

*sigh* I see I must do it my self <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

hey is there any other place to download it from other than the underdogs? because i cant access that site for some reason! so is there any other place? i have been trying to get TSF for years now, without any luck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

The reason is the underdogs changed their address.
Try this one : Underdogs

I didn't know there was a Jazz Jackrabbit thread! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

This used to be one of my favorite games back in the day. When there was nothing but dos games, I would play this when I wasn't playing Doom or Lemmings, etcetera.

The music in the background can get annoying after a while though (and trust me, I would be playing it for hours, beating it on one difficulty the chasing it with the next <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> -- then I would forget the program on, and go watch TV on the other side of the room, and the music would be playing for about ten minutes before I notice it, then I notice that I've been noticing it in the back of my mind... something happens, and it get's annoying <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ).

Good times.

(dooo-dee-dooo... dee-dee-dee-dee-dah-dah-dah doh-dah-dee-dee-dah-dah-doh-dooo-dee-dooo... doouh-dah-doouh) I havn't played game that for many (seven?) years, and it's stil stuck in my head!

Killerzzz
