or about jazz 2...maybe the third one? They're all pretty cool.

Second game even has a pretty active online community, last I checked.

My Jazz tastes are a bit too scrubby for this. Still cool that it exists.

my dad found the holiday hare 94 version on a shovelware cd and installed it for me. when i played it for the first time and this green rambo rabbit jumped on screen, with groovy soundblaster beat on speakers, i knew this is going to be my favourite game. later we found that the same cd hosts the 95 version too, i liked that one more, even if it had that hard as balls legoland level. but still the music, the attitude, those great 3d bonus levels and wholesome carnage was enough for my 8 year self.

I have so many memories of '95 holiday hare. There was so much detail to the game, the stages were mostly really nicely designed and yeah, there's a reason this has the Music tag. The series music Owns.

do u mean the bad gba one or the unreleased jazz 3d beta thats floating around

What GBA one? There was no GBA one. Get out with that nonsense. It's too bad they didn't complete that 3D one though, the prototype was pretty cool.

I was in way too deep into the JJ2 scene, making maps that I'd run into other players hosting and striking fear into the heart of people online

It was a good game

<- you, you're cool

I'm just afraid that it won't be as good as I remember though.

They're still decent games, but you can kinda see the seams in Jazz 2. For example, the game was originally meant to play at the same resolution as the first game, so there's a lot of open air above the stage. There's a few easily-found glitches, too, like getting stuck in the corner of a ceiling and a wall, and resetting boss death animations by stomping on them.

It's still really fun, though!
