My mom got a CD with lots of game demos on it. Among them was a JJ1 Demo. I played it and loved it. Lots of years later, I was at Staples and I was looking through the cheap CDs and I saw the JJ2 XMAS one (forget the name)..for $2...so we got it. I beat it, and saw that it spoke of JJ2, and the JCS! The ability to make your own levels sounded so awesome, so I went to eBay and bought myself a copy. This was in the Summer of 2000.
That is how I got JJ2.
Here is my history on the community. After I got it, I played it a lot. I soon discovered Jazz2City, and the JMMB. I posted there semi-often, and such. Time passes. JMMB and J2C close down. By then, I know about J2O and have submitted levels to J2O that are very crappy indeed. I then talked to Aiko about TSF, and he suggested a couple of ways to get it. But, to no avail. But then, Haze offered a deal for some of us to get TSF. I took him up on the deal, and recieved it in January of 2001.
February 14, 2001: The Day Jazz Died
This day, I was online, cruising The Mushroom Kingdom (its a mario site) and playing some of their games. I wanted to play more games, so I did a web search for some. This led me to
www.filemine.com and I searched for some there. Just for fun, I typed in "Zelda" and I came across ZELDA CLASSIC. (
www.zeldaclassic.com) I then registered at their forums at 2/14/01... I then became obsessed and JJ2 was at a slow time for me then.
Around May Sometime...I got RPG Maker 2000, and was addicted to that. So ZC and RM2K I used quite often. Then, one day, I decided to play JJ2, and I started playing online more often. Then I stopped for a week or two, then I started playing again until the present day.
And that is my J2H. It's pretty boring, yeah, and I've typed out those **** stories so many times...argh, I hope you're happy Trafton...
