Well, Sciz is closest to it. This picture is a scan of an old floppy label of the Jazz Jackrabbit shareware version. Back in the days when shareware was all the rage several local companies copied, labeled and distributed these programs on disks. You might remember those stands from your local computer-fair, where there used to be tables filled with stacks of floppies, all containing shareware software.
The words "Jump'n'run" were merely placed on the disklabel to immediately clarify to the potential customer what kind of game it was that was on the disk. But hey, who in their right mind would at the time buy such a floppy if they could already download it from their local BBS? :P
