GOG is giving away the classic platformer Jazz Jackrabbit 2

When you think of Epic Games, young players will definitely think of Fortnite in connection with the company’s name. Those who are older probably remember the series. Unreal as well as Unreal Tournament or the beginning of a saga Gears of War. However, even before Unreal, when the company was still called Epic Megagames, it was often associated with a completely different project, namely the Jazz Jackrabbit series of platformers.

Although Jazz Jackrabbit never achieved the fame of Sonic or Mario., continues to have cult status in the 2D platformer genre available on PC. short and good this is a classic that everyone can now easily and most importantly remember for free. Now you can add to your library on GOG.com on the occasion of the closing Halloween sale, the complete edition of perhaps the most famous and, unfortunately, the last part, that is, the title Collection Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

At the same time, the collection offers not only the base game with the full name Jazz Bunny 2: Secret Filesbut also a Christmas separate addition Jazz Bunny 2: The Christmas Chronicleslevel editor or enriched version Community Improvement Pack available as JJ2+. For the sake of completeness, it is worth mentioning that Epic once prepared the third part, which was already supposed to use the Unreal engine, which was created along with the shooter of the same name. However, after some time, the development of the third Jazz Jackrabbit was discontinued.

True, this is not a hot novelty, the release of which could be equated with promotions in other stores, but we believe that there aren’t many better games that the guys at GOG.com can offer us for free. We’re certainly not the only ones who grew up with the trio of Jazz, Spaz and Laurie after trying out the GOG version of the game just a few years ago. AS WELL AS despite possible problems with the optimal resolution, it still works fine.

So whether you’re looking to reminisce about the Windows 95 and Windows 98 era, or you’ve never met Jazz and would rather check out Epic’s old work, we’re sure the second Jazz Jackrabbit won’t disappoint. Just listen to this soundtrack. In addition, the community around the series should be more or less active, so we believe that if the game suits you, you will easily find many fan levels and other creations.
