Hiya all,
Was rummanging around the net for some music stuff and remembering how cool all of Epic's music was in the days when they were known as Epic Megagames, I got to looking for Jazz stuff...
Anyways, a couple of Google's later and [b]wow - what a site this is!! I had no idea that Jazz 2 even caught on (it didn't really in the UK) let alone manage to survive this many years!
Nice site, cool features, etc. etc.
As for some of the posts I've read...
Source code release
Epic are daft not to release the source code to JJ2; just look at how Doom, Duke3D, Quake 1 & 2 and others (these are just some of the high profile titles) source code has been put to use. Nothing bad of the originating developer/company has come of it whatsoever! Besides, what commercial company would consider a 2D side scroller these days? :)
Community Bonus Pack
Well, it'd be cool for me as then I'd be able to download one file and get playing!
Is Jazz Dead?
No game is dead whilst it still has players enjoying it! True, there may be less players involved but as long as you get what you want out from it then that's OK?! I still play Colin McRae Rally 2 and Unreal Tournament (yes, *the* original one) and both of these have had massive drop off in the numbers of players supporting them.
Anyways, I've not played any Jazz for years & years! I might have to find the CD and come join in a party - though 'rusty' wouldn't even come close to defining my play ability :D
Cheers all!
