Tis The Season For Christmas Chronicles!

Okay, just because it's November doesn't mean I'm in the holiday spirit yet. But I love Christmas and take it very seriously. I try to play more games that are Christmas-themed, and I only listen to Christmas music.

It's because I wanted to experience new Jazz2 Christmas themed levels at the right time that I haven't played CC yet. I bought it and TSF from Haze last year, but the Christmas season was over when I received them. I actually decided to not even install CC or play it until the next Christmas season.

So for a better effect I will wait a bit longer still. It just doesn't feel 'Christmasy' yet, though probably when I shop at malls and after I order and recieve Rockapella's new Christmas CD (read my sig for more info), that will change. For now, it may be cold, but it still not the season yet for me. But it IS the right time for me to make a list now. I should have done that in October really...

Oh well. Can't wait to try CC. I hope I can get the old Jazz working on my Windows XP machine so that I can also play the original holiday hare episodes. Oh yeah, and there was a HH 94 and 95. What were the differences again? Different levels?

This is one thing I really appreciate about the Jazz franchise. Why don't more games get a holiday theme either built in or to download?

Just FYI, HH94 has one planet (Holidaeus) with 3 levels. HH95 has 2 "normal" (two level) planets, Candion and Bloxonius. Interestingly, neither version has a boss, while HH98 does (Santa Bilsy). I also noticed "Santa" can be anigrammed to be "Satan". That's sort of interesting, considering Bilsy is a demon. I'm not sure if CC has a boss, but if it's what I think it is (basically HH98 with Lori in it) then I'm betting Santa Bilsy is in it.

HH94 was three levels using the Holidaeus planet, each one being a different time of day. At the end you got to watch a movie of santa flying his reindeer, Eva dressed as an elf and one of the times Jazz kisses Eva.
HH95 was four levels using the Candion and Bloxonius planets. I don't think there was any ending movie, I could be wrong.
HH98 was three levels using the HH98 tileset, with christmas enemies and all. Santa Bilsy as boss.
From what I've heard, I believe TCC is the same thing as HH98, only with Lori as well.

I hope CC is more than just HH98 with Lori. I paid - well, I forget how much for CC, but alot more than for HH98 which I only bought for 1 cent! Then I sold it to my friend once I got CC.

You can't have HH 94 and 95 both installed right? Or not in the same directory? I forget how it works, but I want to play all the Jazz christmas versions.

I had CC once, and it sucks really. I only liked the Single Player episode, and there was a level by FQuist as well Further, the extra levels really ****, especially the pinball level...

You can install both, just use diff directories.

HH94 attaches itself to the normal JJ1 program, and appears as Episode X. HH95 is a seperate program altogether and should get its own directory (and patched with TPPatch if you needed to do that with JJ1).
