Jazz Jackrabbit

[tradiaz]

hi

i've got jazz1 legaly purchased lying arround, but i don't know if its abandoned,but i think so ,caus you have the 2nd part on your site.
well, how can i upload it?
it works with dosbox-0.63 and dosemu-1.2.2 with freedos.

[wormpaul]

We got this game already down..

But it`s not abandonned so we cant put it on the site :not_ok:


When it became abandonned it will come on the site, i got the review and screens already here :angel: (made before i found out it was still sold...again is HOTU making mistakes there)

[Tom Henrik]

The really weird thing is that Jazz Jackrabbit 1 is still sold, while Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is abandoned. Very peculiar, I know.

[shawnmos]

Weird. I was just about to post the same thing. If you need it I have the game too for when it becomes abandoned.

[wormpaul]

@ Shawmnos: Plz take other atavar...this is too confusing for me..

@game: we already got the game + review + screenshots.

We only need an abandonned status :ok:

[elessar_84]

Hey I know that you guys have Jazzjackrabbit 2 on your site and its a great game. But I was wondering if you could get the original Jazz Jackrabbit on this site. Im surprised that part 2 is on here but not the original. Ive only been able to find shareware version of the first one (you get like 6 levels or something). DO you think you get get the full game?

Im sure this game has been brought up before but there are too many topics to search through!

Thanks. :ok:

[FreeFreddy]

As far as I can remember, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is abandoned, therefore it's available here for download. Jazz Jackrabbit though isn't, as weird as it might sound. Sorry pal, but I don't think this nice game will make it's way to this site in the next time yet. :(

[BlackMageJawa]

Jazz Jackrabbit 1 was recently ported to GBA, so that might have something to do with why that one isn't abandoned but the sequel (currently unavailable in any format) is.

[elessar_84]

Hey thanks anyways guys. But I actually was able to obtain the FULL version of Jazz Jackrabbit at another abandon site that you have mentioned on here. (Dont worry this site is awesome!) Also, out of curiosity, what makes a game officially abandoned? Does it mean its off the market or what?

[Mentor]

Officially, a game is abandonware if the company that created it, or the company that published it, no longer supports it. Some people'll tell you it's about age, but that's bull. It's based on support status. If the official sites of the publisher/creator no longer mention the games or mention support for the games, then they're abandonware.

I was wondering if anyone could get a complete copy of the first Jazz Jackrabbit. I tried googling it and all i could come up with a bunch of stupid demos, one of which i had when i was a kid with exactly the same levels. If its ESA protected, well, thats life eh? But if anyone could help that would be awesome thanx. :bye:

[Frodo]

Hi BlakHole :bye:

You can buy it from Epic - http://www.epicclassics.com/orderform.html

:ok:

[Blizzard08]

Oh, I don't wanna buy... I wanna download from Abandonia... ^_^
I loved Jazz when I was young. Never bothered in searching this game in the net, though

[Scatty]

Well, if you want something, you will buy it too. 25$ might be little too much for it, but the game is good, too.

[Titan]

If something is SOLD, you will NOT find it on Abandonia.. period.

yeah well thanx anyway. I might have forgot to mention that my dads phychotic about buying anything on the net, so even with the help, its not gunna help much. but just a review or somethin to acknowledge the game would be awesome i reckon... thanx for the help anyway. :ok:

[Sonicfan37]

I found Jazz Jackrabbit CD lying around, from 1994... Does that count as abandoned? If you've got the full version of JJ2 on the site, then it seems ok... I could upload it if anyone wants it. 54 MBs, is that too big? Or would compression take care of that?

[Tom Henrik]

Sold (http://www.epicclassics.com/orderform.html) as mentioned in the AW List (http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=awlist).

[Burger Meister]

First one is sold, but not the second? Odd!

[The Fifth Horseman]

C'est la vie...

[/b]

The second was propably published by a different firm then the first one.
Ah, I just checked, the first one was sold by Epic, the second one by Gathering. There's your difference...

[Sonicfan37]

I apologize for my stupidity. Yes, I've read the sticky. I searched in the site search box, not the WL. That's a shame, the bonus levels are so cool.

Edit:Wasn't OMF sold by Epic?

[Tom Henrik]

OMF is freeware. :)

[Sonicfan37]

Ah. Why? I bet they would get just as much money if they sold OMF. And what about Tyrian? (Thanks for that game, by the way! I always wanted 2000.)

[Tom Henrik]

Aren't all of those games mentioned it the list? It would be easier to type the name, than to make a post - and wait for a reply... :unsure:

[Swiebertje13]

The programmer declared OMF freeware.

[Kain Doomed]

I was searching... and suddenly i reached to this game--- Jazz Jack Rabbit... 2....

And i prefer the first game!! Could you aprove this request??

Jazz Jackrabbit
Epic Games
1994
DOS game

Thanks in advance :amused:

[Dave]

Sorry, we rejected it here (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=11338&highlight=jazz).

It's still sold at Epic Classics (http://www.epicclassics.com/orderform.html).

[arete]

Epicclassics no longer a valid source.

[APPROVED]; no buylinks found.

[esgmaster]

May I review?

[frogcoin]

hi all, this is my first post and i registered because im interested in jazz jackrabbit abandon status, i wanted to know why epicclassics is no longer a valid source. that means that probably all the games in epicclassics that follow the rules of abandonia can be count as abandonware?

thanks

[Nyerguds]

http://www.epicgames.com/EpicClassics.html

That's why.

It's not a valid source because they sell the games without any affiliation with Epic Games. It's the same as people selling copies on ebay. It doesn't change the fact the game is 100% unsupported by its copyright owner.


So why isn't it on the site yet? I got the CD, I could upload it if you want...

[TotalAnarchy]

We have the archive, a couple of screens that need cropping/resizing, but no review.

[Nyerguds]

Huh, and at the beginning of the thread, wormpaul said that these things were all finished already. Did that get lost?

we already got the game + review + screenshots.

We only need an abandoned status

[TotalAnarchy]

Probably the stuff was never uploaded on the FTP. And if it was, they deleted it afterwards. The archive itself was uploaded not long ago by jojo1541. 5 years is a long period of time...

[frogcoin]

thanks for the answer, that explanation convinced me :)
im working with some abandon games to make them "ready to play" for PSP, so thats why i wanted to know about the legal status of that game.

i think that theres a few versions of the game, i have the CD version with the bonus stages, dunno if all cd versions have it

[DrLeatherface]

If the first game is now abandoned where can I download it? Am I blind or is it not on here?

[Uber Dowzen]

So, is this getting added sometime?

[Paco]

So, is this getting added sometime?

We have Game, Boxshots and Screenshots. So we only need a Review to put it on Site...

[Uber Dowzen]

I thought the review had been assigned? I'm just wondering, because Old School Apps has JJ1 so I'm thinking about downloading it.

[Paco]

I cant find the Review on FTP and in Grammar. so where is it? :dunno:

[arete]

So, still not reviewed :(

[zirkoni]

So, still not reviewed :(
I can write one if needed.

The review for Jazz Jackrabbit is done.
???:unsure:

[Darkie4646]

Year: 1994 (1995 for CD-ROM release)
Publisher: Epic Megagames
Developer: Epic Megagames

Why I think its abadonware

Although Epic Classics has been selling Jazz Jackrabbit for a while, it seems like Epic Classics hasn't been updated since 2008 and just recently around 2012/2014 their site is now for sale.

I can safely say the full version of Jazz Jackrabbit is Abadonware.

[marko river]

Yes. I was wrong to tell you to post request. Here (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showpost.php?p=378645&postcount=33) is confirmed what you stated. Therefore, merging your topic with existing one. Please proceed and provide the link in ISO Cellar.
